Those Easter lambs grew up and are indistinguishable from their mothers apart from the fact that the mothers are shorn.

Just recommendations again, with one warning.

TV

There she goes. **** BBC iPlayer David Tenant in a fascinating series about  a family with a severely learning disabled child.

Umbrella Academy Season 3**** Netflix How dark can it get? And now we have to wait till 2024 and hope the actor/writer strike doesn’t make it even further away.

Books

The Butterfly Hunter boxed set by Julie Bozza**** Trilogy of novels plus a short story.A lovely mm romance set mostly in the Australian outback with elements of paranormal or at least a nod to Dreamtime stories.

Dead Souls by Ian Rankin.**** Gripping novel in the Rebus series – one I’d missed!

Power of Zero series by Jackie Keswick****

I’d read the first in this series and finally got to the rest!

House Hunt**** Jack goes UC re drugs, then gets kidnapped during investigation re break ins at Nancarrow Mining. Quite tense and complex.

Swings and Roundabouts **** More excitement for Jack and Gareth. Murder mystery in Sweden.

Dating Games ****  shorts set during the other novels

Apidae by Xenia Melzer**** Possibly the last in a great series about a detective who can communicate with insects, spiders, etc. .

Unstable Connections by Nicky James**** Discoveries re Juniper in the Doyle/Valor series.

Inevitable Disclosure by Nicky James***** Really gripping plot and the Doyle/Valor relationship is progressing nicely.

The Altered 3 by Anabelle Jacobs**** This finishes the story arc nicely. An interesting shifter mm trilogy.

The Distant Echo by Val McDermid**** It was weird reading something I watched on TV ages ago. Some differences – I think due to them wanting to give detective Karen Pirie a greater role in this first of a TV series.

Overdue and Occultism by Jamie Sands**** Sweet mm story featuring a witch and a ghost hunter in a haunted NZ library.

The Clockwork City by Shelley Adina **** Excellent addition to her steampunk universe, plus a murder investigation. An ARC read which I have reviewed for Scott Coatsworth

Luck of the Draw by Addison Albright**** Nicely told story of an arranged marriage but a bit short. Another ARC read with a review for Scott

The Untouchable Sky by Will Forrest* One star because it ended on a cliffhanger without ever having referred to a series. Quite an intriguing story about a young man who learns about his magic in adulthood after having been treated as insane. Included here as a warning. By all means read it if you’re happy to read the entire series.
