Incognito


 Tuesday. Stop the world I want to get off. If you had told me how stupid and crazy society was going to become, I'd have laughed. But this is our reality.


 Currently reading A GAME OF FEAR by Charles Todd. 24th of 24 in series featuring Ian Rutledge, a shell-shocked World War I veteran returning to his job at Scotland Yard, in London.

 


Spring, 1921. Scotland Yard sends Inspector Ian Rutledge to the sea-battered village of Walmer on the coast of Essex, where amongst the salt flats and a military airfield lies Benton Abbey, a grand manor with a storied past. The lady of the house may prove his most bewildering witness yet. She claims she saw a violent murder—but there is no body, no blood. She also insists she recognized the killer: Captain Nelson. Only it could not have been Nelson because he died during the war. Everyone in the village believes that Lady Benton’s losses have turned her mind—she is, after all, a grieving widow and mother—but the woman Rutledge interviews is rational and self-possessed. And then there is Captain Nelson: what really happened to him in the war? The more Rutledge delves into this baffling case, the more suspicious tragedies he uncovers. The Abbey and the airfield hold their secrets tightly. Until Rutledge arrives, and a new trail of death follows…

We've got The Curse of Oak Island tonight. I didn't watch last week's episode so I may try to tune in early to catch the repeat.

 I also have a live stream of Found Objects to view tonight. Drawing a random winner. But I never win.


 Have a good day

 


Much love,
