The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
Really interesting story, just started it. Feels a lot like Dan Brown's books.
Orbit is delighted to announce that we will be publishing a phenomenal new trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombie in the US, at the same time that it will be published in the UK by Gollancz. The first book in the trilogy, A LITTLE HATRED, publishes in September 2019.
A Little Hatred marks Abercrombie’s much anticipated return to the world of the First Law. The novel features exciting new characters, along with the return of some memorable faces for longtime Abercrombie fans. Written and told in a way that only Abercrombie can, the new trilogy is a visceral story of bloody revolution.
Sense and nonsense in psychology. You will have to suppress feelings re black africans being called 'savages'. It was written in 1957, and much has changed in acceptable terminology.

With my 7 year old son. He's watched the movies, and the Tom and Jerry version. But he absolutely loves the evening read. We said 3 chapters a day, but it ends up at 4-5 bacause he "convinces" me to continue
I'm a sucker for Cold War spy stories...really enjoyed this. 10/10.
