Started Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Just started it, not much to say about it yet.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm reading The Company Man by Robert Jackson Bennett, one of his earlier novels. It's an alt history mystery noir set in the 1920s. It's super atmospheric and kinda reminds me of the show Severance. I'm less than a third of the way through but am hooked and absolutely loving it so far.

Robert Jackson Bennett comes up a lot, should really read something by him.

He just won a Higo award for The Tainted Cup, so that might be a good place to start!
