Escapism

image by Rebecca Hendin from here
Work is not the only injection of positive light into my life - a great escape for me is provided by detective fiction.  Reading in general is an essential, but fiction, and whodunnits are top of the pile for consistent pleasure.
I recently discovered an enlightening podcast which appears every fortnight, and the latest popped up today: Shedunnit, all about the golden age of classic crime writing.
The latest contribution starts a series about minor characters in the detective portfolio, and I am intrigued by one Montague Egg created by Dorothy L. Sayers.  I remember reading a story about him a long time ago - I think when I was at school - and I shall see if I can seek out the story collections available now.
At present I am reading Kate Atkinson's Transcription.
