Descriptions of Prague are intriguing and inviting me to go back there with fresh eyes

Normal Robert Langdon novel start so far

Well trodden Osman formula and each page just rolls on to the next page- what they used to call a page-turner

Re-reading this in prep for the new Slow Horses to be on screen in the autumn of 2026

Winding up nicely with moves, fights and so on

Shaping up nicely - lots of battles

A dry topic presented in part via a fictional development scenario - an app to translate dog barks into speech! Lots of good process pointers and emphasis on integrating with the product development pipeline. Enjoying it so far.

Still trundling along nicely. I know the text is no Frank Herbert but these novels do paint a picture of the back story for all the key components in Dune and thereafter

Already warming up for a battle between Cymeks and Butlerians

Just started this today. Book was quite difficult to get hold of - had t9 wait several weeks for it to come through

Interesting premise - looking forward to seeing how this develops

And the body count continues to rise

Body count is rising

Some of the same Brummie characters as her first novel but this one starts off weirder. I am enjoying it so far.

Just started and it seems good but same old problem with loads of Japanese names! Understated writing.
