so-soJust before the dawn of WWII, out-of-work British engineer Nicky Marlow takes a position at an Italian munitions firm. But his predecessor in the position had been supplying information to foreign spies. It's not long before Marlow is deep in intrigue and counter-intrigue and scary secret police. Ends with a thrilling flight across fascist Italy. Fun, but the passive and sappy Marlow is a less satisfying protagonist than other Ambler heroes.

Ive been into work today but im now off again til Tues so with a beer in hand i have finally made my crime based A-Z and im going to try and post on @BookishMarginalia link.
I should finish the title book which im enjoying but I've substituted for a Swedish thriller. My list is a combo of new books to me and from series im already hooked on. They are also in library and involved much searching of prize award websites. Looking fwd to it.
#litsyclassics i decided to start book 1 in my 1st challenge of 2018, albeit probably my last book of the year and ive also spent boxing day trying to put together an #litsyAtoZ 2018 challenge with a crime theme- hopefully ill finish it off tomorrow.

Well that was a challenge in itself compiling this list but it looks like a great challenge with books and authors that i have always meant to read, although I've chosen a few chunky reads and had to go with a mixture of names and titles and i probably have a spare list of rejected books - it could take a while 😂
