When I vacationed in Seattle, I bought and read The Highest Tide, which is set on Puget Sound and is by local author Jim Lynch.

When I went to Vancouver I bought Murder by Milkshake, an infamous Canadian true crime by Eve Lazarus. Fascinating story!

I read Ariadne by Jennifer Saint while I was in Greece a couple of weeks ago. It was nice to read something that was set in or near the place I was staying (just a few thousand years later). I liked it because it wasn’t a typical beach read but it was familiar enough that I could get distracted by friends or random people on the beach and not completely lose my thread!

I’ve been reading ‘A Home For All Seasons’ by Gavin Plumley on holiday. I’ve not quite finished it but it’s very good - a meditation on place, history, art, music and literature via the house he and his husband bought in Herefordshire.
