Finished my October #Roll100

This was an interesting read filled with rock and roll nostalgia (though some references were lost on me being a 90s kid!)

Following the murder of a former rock promoter, ex journalist Sandy begins to investigate the story. It leads him to the band the Nazgûl‘s, whose album “music to wake the dead” seems to be the driving force behind the killing and a budding revolution.

This was a really interesting read!

Follows a rock music journalist‘s investigation into the death of a music industry professional. Really different to what we're used to from this author but very good.

What a fantastic, fun read. Really delved into the impact of the 60's both in music and lives. Wonderfully written, with lots of heart and plenty of weirdness.
