Mosquito

One of the (few) advantages of living in a fairly affluent, middle class town, with a lot of well educated professionals and quite a large elderly population, is that the local charity shops are full of very good second hand but immaculate hardback books. I often pop into the one at my local shops and yesterday found a copy of this for £2.99. It's had very good reviews but I have been disappointed by some of the author's earlier books, so I'll reserve judgment until I've read it. Either way, it's a fascinating subject and he does write well, so another one for the summer holidays.
