Summer reading recommendations (#15)

A slightly shorter episode than usual – that’s because we needed to get into a cool shady spot and read! In this episode Gwyn, Holly and Paul recommend books from their to-read pile for you to take on your summer holidays. Be it your backyard or a beach far far away, there may be a book just for you.

We give a shout out to an excellent podcast The Rest is History and the Bloody Scotland crime writing festival.
