Completed "The Lamplighters" by Emma Stonex. It's about the disappearance of 3 lighthouse keepers, and is loosely based on a true story. Definitely recommended.

Also finished "The Custom House Murder" by Mike Hollow. Set in Sept 1940 as the Luftwaffe turned their attention to London. It's part of a series, and I already have the next one on my tbr pile.

Currently reading "Scoop!" A cozy by Hannah Dennison. Very silly & very enjoyable.

Covid is, after many months, not the main national preoccupation. The England football team has reached the semi finals of Euro 2020 and we are all in a frenzy of excitement - including me (it'll end in tears, it always does).

Happy 4th July, but spare a thought for those of us who are still stuck with George III's descendants.
