A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

THRONES, DOMINATIONS- Dorothy L. Sayers & Jill Paton Walsh
Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane begin their new life in 1936 London. Soon they are moving in fashionable circles- and one of their wealthy new acquaintances becomes a murder victim.
Sayers began writing this book in 1936 and then put it aside. Her estate found the manuscript and asked Walsh to complete the story.
This is pretty much tripe with a very contrived ending. I am fortunate in that I read one of Walsh's standalone Wimsey stories prior which is excellent. If I hadn't I would say stay away but give Walsh's own Wimsey stories ago, give this a miss.
