Thanks for Slow Horses too. Don’t have that service so will read. There are 8! As to rubbing elbows with Nazis. Comes up often in my line of work. Here is one we share. JJ Angleton ran Klaus Barbie out of France to work for us in Bolivia. You and I know many people who knew JJ. When at last we gave him up my favorite Vietnamese intellectual defended him with some success on the grounds that Klaus had done nothing that France and the USA had not done. Morals are contagious but no one is going to catch them from FaceBook. Happy new year -

Happy New Year! Have fun reading the Slow Horses series, the books are of course more complex but also more fun.

Thanks. My plan instead of the Manacle fan fiction 77 chapter Harry Potter hijacking and mashup with Handmaid’s Tale the next generation has urged upon me.

And you have to read it on your computer. As if. I did find the press on it fascinating. But enough.

It is! I'm a little embarrassed by how much I like it. I want to buy it some treats.

Very thoughtful explanation on the leaving substack controversy, and now, having loved Slow horses for the same reasons you do, I might actually need to give Monsters a try.

Thanks! Give Monsters a try and see how you like it. I reached the end of Season 2 of the Invasion show and it ended on a cliffhanger and I don't think it got renewed so Not Recommended.
