When I heard that the person behind The Secret Barrister was releasing their first thriller, I knew I needed to read it. The Cut Throat Trial by S.J. Fleet, is out tomorrow, and I have to say a big thank you to publisher, Picador, for the early copy via Netgalley. Here's what the book is all about: Source: Netgalley

I don't know what happened to this past week. I think only being in work for three days has completely thrown me for a loop as they were busy days which made the week feel even shorter. I celebrated a significant event at the start of the week, did my grocery shop Tuesday - very confusing - and then ... well, now here we are back at Monday and I'm not sure I like it.

Okay. Last week I told you I was going to flood you with Norwegian Fjords pictures. I still will but, to be honest, within a couple of days of being back in the office, I got itchy feet again, and by Wednesday I had convinced Mandie we really needed a road trip this past weekend. Beautiful weather, and a tough week at work, meant that self care was in urgent need.
