Thank you @johnsutherland.bsky.social for sending me a copy of The Castle. Given how much I enjoyed Blue and Crossing the Line and how gripping and unputdownable I found The Siege, I can’t wait to get stuck in. Feels appropriate to read with a wee dram of Ballindalloch single malt… 🥃🏰
Bookvent 2025 Day Five, the latest book in a series about two Met Hostage Negotiators who seem to find danger wherever they go. @john_sutherland_author @orionbooks @johnsutherland.bsky.social #bookthreads #books #bookstagram #booksky #bookvent2025 #thecastle
The #Bookvent Calendar 2025: Day Five
#Bookvent - Celebrating my top reads of 2025 My day five bookvent pick is another series read, a police based thriller with a twist, in that the central protagonists are also hostage negotiators. When I heard that the author was sending them off on a lovely break in a lodge on a Scottish estate, I thought that was a lovely idea.

Just finished The Castle by @johnsutherland.bsky.social. What a cracking read - and set in my neck of the woods! Have tried Tomintoul whisky, must try Ballindalloch now. (Interesting to compare police negotiating with what I remember from HMPS. Lots of similarities, but a few key differences.)
