My take on @mccloskeybooks timely - and rather superb - London Station - in the latest @nzlistener - "McCloskey reminds readers that espionage is a dirty business, despite the (sometimes) good intentions behind it."

If you love the art of crime fiction @simonlendrum 's second novel The Burn Card is a must read - Lendrum captures inner-city Auckland and its night-time underworld with a swagger rarely seen in local crime fiction... one of the year's best. #yeahnoir

Hong Kong is a great city for food - and the best places - like Dragon State Restaurant - are very affordable. You’ll get told where to sit - usually a shared table, order quick and it’s served within minutes. #hongkongfood #hongkong – at Central & Western District, Hong Kong
First time in Hong Kong - hot, sticky and quite wonderful. – at Central & Western District, Hong Kong

My take on Asher Emanuel’s The Valley -“recalls American true crime classics like Norman Mailer’s The Executioner’s Song…If you read only one book from Aotearoa this year - fiction or non- fiction - make it this.

Cars, strip malls, palm trees and more cars - LA on a Friday evening. #losangeles #travel
Had an amazing dinner at the oldest restaurant in LA @MussoFrankGrill - the atmosphere and history was there - but the food was great too. #oldhollywood #mussoandfrank #lafood
My home for the last three weeks - will be sad to leave - but looking forward to LA.
