I very rarely manage to read anything in order. Mainly I buy from charity shops or borrow from the library so it's what's available at the time. I am working through Lee Child in order as the second hand Kobo I bought had most of them already loaded and I've bought the others as I spotted them.I tend to go through phases when reading. At times I'll have me head in a book or the Kindle all the time, then I'll go for a month or two without as much as turning a page. I tend to stick with authors I know and enjoy. Currently working my way through the Peter James Inspector Grace stories. I should have read them in sequence, but it's a bit late for that.
I have watched the film. It was an odd sort of a film. I assume it's very realistic. These days it seems odd to me that we made films about such a bitter war which at that time was still so recent. Not that some of them aren't great films.@Yellow Fang asked ''Any other good ones ?
The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Montserrat is a must read....
If you like Roy Grace/Peter James have you also tried Alan Banks/Peter Robinson? One of my favourite "police procedural" series.
Apologies for the late reply, its set in a seafaring community but no, not actually at sea itself. Very good though !Is that actually about seafaring?
