Incredible sequel. Edge of my seat!
absolutely love it when i get booked into a meeting that runs 90 minutes past my normal end of day

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
this is extra funny to me because this is my hometown airport, it's always nice to see CID mentioned
