Reading Splinter in the Blood by Ashley Dyer, which is a pseudonym for a pair of writers. British police procedural with a ton of twists and turns. Enjoying it.

Listening to The End, the third installment (of more than ten) in Mark Tufo’s Zombie Fallout. Not great literature, but a fun listen. Just when you think things can’t get worse, they do. Over and over and over. You’ll start asking yourself whether you’re ready for the zombie apocalypse.
