Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading, this weekly meme asks for your answers to three questions:
1) What have you just finished reading?
2) What are you reading now?
3) What do you plan on reading next?
And here are my answers!
1) I’ve just finished reading The Amber Fury by Natalie Haynes. I’ll not give any clues to what I thought of the book, as a review will follow shortly…
2) I’m now reading something a wee bit different for Crimeworm – an autobiography, namely Dangerous To Know by Chapman Pincher. A renowned journalist from the end of the war onwards, he broke many huge stories. He also wrote a book which is one of the definitive studies of The Cambridge Spies (Their Trade Is Treachery.) I’ve just started it, so I’ll probably grab a faster read – fiction – as Mr Pincher’s book is definitely one to be savoured…
3) I’m DEFINITELY going to try to get back to Marcia Clark’s The Competition this week (yes, I am aware I’ve said this before…possibly more than once…!) plus I’d also like to read a book I was sent to review ages ago, Dandy Gilver And The Reek Of Red Herrings by Catriona MacPherson. As the Dandy Gilver books are definitely part of a series, I thought I’d ask if any fellow bloggers have read any of them, and whether they enjoyed them. I’m also aware I have Val McDermid’s The Skeleton Road to continue with…(Note to self: Finish the book you’re reading before starting another. No matter how exciting the next one looks…!) What have you read/are you reading? And what’s next on your pile? (It is a PILE…admit it…!) Do let me know below…
That Chapman Pincher does look interesting!

He’s quite a character! It must have depressed him, how the Express lately became such a dire (and dying!) paper when he broke so many incredible scoops in it way back. Those were the days to work at Fleet Street! It’s wonderful; I think you’d really enjoy it!
