Another busy month filled with great books, featuring a mix of spies, crime, dystopia, World War II – and sometimes a mix of all!

A number of the books this month were bought from local bookshops (I always lose money at author events as I buy more than I sell) – please shop local where you can this Christmas.

Short reviews available on my Goodreads page.
