On the heels of my last fiction recommendation, the Incomparable recently made another recommendation, The Rook, which I downloaded via Audible and (thanks to some fortunate traffic jams) I finished quickly. This is the story of an amnesiac, Myfanwy Thomas, who wakes up in a London park surrounded by dead people wearing latex gloves. It turns out she is part of a supernatural MI5 and from page one, the game is afoot. The book is quirky, funny, and by about halfway through, I couldn’t wait to see where it all went. If you’d like a fun read, check this one out. When you’re done, go download episode 128 of The Incomparable and listen to Jason, Scott, and Dan talk about it, but only after you’re done.
