The Work Cure by David Frayne. Partly personal curiosity and partly because some of the arguments are loosely adjacent to my job. Only a few pages in but enjoying it so far.

A few months (years?) ago, there were good reviews on here for 'The Machine Gunners', by Robert Westall.
I decided to read it, but I had to find it first. Of course I could have gone to Ebay, or Amazon, but I decided to track it down somewhere, anywhere.
… Dozens and dozens of charity shops and car boot sales later, I have found it.
I'm going to enjoy it.

Bernie Gunther is a German detective investigating in Berlin during WWII
This is the second one of this series I've read. Pretty good.

^ like the sound of that. Do you have to read them in order or are they 'stand alone' stories?
It's a superb series - I've read the lot. Unfortunately he died of cancer last year and the last one has just been published.

He was my Art Teacher at Sir John Deane's Grammar School back in the 1970's. Had a proper Amish Beard but when in the 6th Form let me and some fellow reprobates write the School Magazine which was basically full of music reviews saying how wonderful Gong and Hawkwind were...

The Enemy by Tom Wood, my first foray into the Victor series, not sure if important to read them in order or not.

Build a Bonfire by Stephen North and Paul Hodson, which is a great snapshot of the times written at the time.
But I’d love a modern book looking back at the Bellotti/Archer era from a historical perspective. It’d be a nice follow up to Spencer Vignes Bloody Southerners, about the Cloughie era, hint hint!
