Good readComment

With the strippers shut down there isn't so much to do in Benidorm so been sitting outside the campervan reading. I took 'Citadel' by Jordan Wylie with me. He was an ex army dude who found himself in the horn of Africa as security for merchant ships who were at risk of piracy. Arrrgh.
Loved it and soon finished it so took a walk up to the market and bought 'Storming the Falklands' by Tony Banks. Getting in to the first chapter telling us all about his child hood being brought up in Dundee when he drops this clanger:
'Then came 1968 and an event that changed my life. It had nothing to do with student rebellions or riots. I became a Celtic supporter. This was a momentous but largely random decision. My choice had nothing to with them being an Irish and Catholic side. I simply saw that they were top of the league when I looked in the newspaper and thought, that'll do me. I've supported them ever since.'
Not sure it's worth reading on.

I got though a few on holiday.
I mentioned 'Citadel' before and I did finish the Falklands one. Both good reads despite the latter being written by a plastic paddy.
Then bought this,
Gives a good account of what is involved in hunting down potential terrorists in this country. Turns out these guys were called out to the attacks in Glasgow (the ones where Smeaton saved the day). Driving all the way from London on blue lights. The books ok but a bit of a damp squib, a bit like said Glasgow attacks.
Got through most of this on holiday and just finished it now. Really enjoyed it.
All about the plan to deceive the Germans before the Normandy landings. A great read full of some colourful characters. Amazing the amount of effort that went on behind the scenes during operations such such as this.Comment

Aye its started off well. 100 pages in.
Ill have to get that Operation Fortitude. Sounds right up my streetComment

Started this yesterday and have hardly put it down since.
Written by a detective who was in charge of finding the missing Sian O'Callaghan in 2011. Fascinating story that leads to questions over the murders of lots of young women. One seriously sick f*cker is in jail but seems like he could be responsible for a lot more.
Googled the case to see if any thing else had come up and came across this page which gives an insight in to the whole story.
Worth a look if you've got a spare minute or two.Comment

Half way through. A good read.
What a shambles of a club back thenComment

Cathi Unsworth's Without The Moon. Hooker murders in London 1941-42. The boy's on the case though. He'll sort it oot.
I recommend her as one of those 'noir' writers.Comment

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari.
Very interesting read. Though would be pretty uncomfortable if you're religious.
You could just shout FAKE! I suppose. That's the way it's done these days right?Comment
