Having thoroughly enjoyed Death at the White Hart last year, I've been looking forward to The Parkwood Murders and it does not disappoint! A cracking little mystery that had me second-guessing myself all the way to the denouement.

Live a life where people talk about you after you die like they do Sam Neil.
Delighted to receive from Waterstones a signed copy of the new novel from @chrischibnall.bsky.social - his first novel was exceptional so I’m very much looking forward to reading this!
"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best
TV writers were right in 2023 and are being proven more right every day — there was a stable television model that made everyone lots of money and put out good shows. Then execs with no understanding of the industry confused the production model and the distribution model, and they blew it all up.
Lots of chat round this issue at the mo (most notably in Bloomberg and The Ankler). This deep dive into viewership wrestles with some of the questions buzzing around streaming https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/top-10-reports/netflix-season-2-slump-views-metric/
When you click on the first link in a story and are reminded how long you’ve been following the ITV for sale story. Incisive and elegiac piece this by @nilspratley.bsky.social on the opportunities lost for UK media along the way www.theguardian.com/business/nil...
Streaming storm made ITV sharing a roof with Sky sadly inevitable
While everyone agrees the deal is the end of an era, it was also unavoidable in the era of Netflix and Disney+
