Night Boat to Tangier - Kevin Barry

 Audiobook

`

OK, so its not very often that I do one of these, but I had a fairly long drive, and thought as I change  to music, Audiobook.

Written and read by the author. Whose, Irish accent rolled over vowels in the way in which only the Irish can.

The book starts and ends in a ferry port in Spain. Two older gentlemen (using the term lightly),  there on the off chance that they may spot someone.

Said gentlemen both had a colourful past, being drug barons, moving coke, hash, crack and heroin. Using them all as well.

There's the usual sidelines of property and bars around for laundering.

Keep an eye out for the occultist dealer, she brings a light all of her own to the book.

Trio - William Boyd

 

A collection of three's. Three parts to the book, three main characters. I know there's more, but I can't recall.

    1960's Brighton, Young Actress, wanna be pop star and a ladder to the moon. Backdrop using the area in and around the afore mentioned location. Filming is a constant, and rewriting the script is unavoidable.

    Full of the sixties favourites, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Although not much of the latter.

    It is set at a modest pace, with a plot that throws a few twists in it.
