I'm reading Pagans by James Alistair Henry. It's a modern crime thriller but it's set in a world where the Norman conquest never happened so the UK is still populated by the ancient tribes.

Inspired by current Bridgerton hype, I decided to try the "Queen of Regency romance" - Georgette Heyer. The Quiet Gentleman is not a typical Heyer romance, it's also a mystery as Gervase Frant, the 7th Earl of St Erth, returns from Waterloo to find his stepfamily plotting to kill him...

Reading this at the minute. Not my usual reading of serial killers however, this series of books by Ben Aaronovitch of witches, wizards and magic related crimes in today's London are really good. This is book 6 or 7. Definitely worth a look :)

A little late, but I actually finished, "When Among The Crows" by Veronica Roth. It was a nice wee novella, about different folklore and monsters.
