Hilary Mantel, Beyond Black

 A re-read of a book I remember being very dark and scary. It still is, but on a very dull note the thing I found most interesting was that in my mind the house where the protagonists lived was on the east side of Knaphill when I read it the first time, somewhere around Strathcona Gardens near our Kev, but on the 2nd read they were nearer to Sainsbury's, Percheron Drive. I had to Google map those names. We are in the middle of a heatwave at the moment, and are expecting record breaking temperatures in the UK of 40 later. it's 10 in the morning and 31 already here, and the heat in the house is unbearable. Downstairs is a lot better, but i can't be bothered to move all my stuff down there to work. I'm sleeping downstairs and it is quite pleasant at night, but there was a fire in Woking last night so everything now smells of smoke.
