Just out in paperback, this excellent new translation (by Jesse Kirkwood) of Tokyo Express, by one of the godfathers of Japanese detective fiction, Seicho Matsumoto, an engrossing, old-school detective novel from Penguin Classics, highly recommended by our own Joe

Also this week I got to read the brilliant detective mystery Night Night Necropolis by Sooz Simpson who writes as Katherine Black. If you’re into your detective mystery dramas such as Morse, Midsummer Murders, Taggert then this is for you.

My 7yo is listening to the Agent Zaiba Investigates series on at the moment and is loving them.

Zaiba lives in the UK but family is from Pakistan. She has a loving relationship with her step-mother and the discussions around her birth mother’s death are gentle & age appropriate. Who doesn’t love a ?
