Losing focus is a natural side-effect of paying attention to the despicable, upsetting stuff in the world. Sometimes I find it difficult to even comment on booktube when I'm distracted by all the upsetting news. Passat is fascinating! Thank you for bringing her to my attention. Ah! I appreciate your thoughts on the Simenon. I was thinking of trying that series as a break from my usual reads. I'll look elsewhere now.

The Simenon was disappointing-I was hoping he’d be a source of easy, distraction reading but no. I find older mysteries a bit hit or miss for this kind of thing but don’t regret shifting my attention elsewhere. I might try a re-read of some Ngaio Marsh or Marjory Allingham in his place. And yes loss of focus as a natural side effect is a helpful framing.

Some great recommendations. Georges Simenon is a mixed bag, I'm afraid. I have never been blown away by his writings.

I’m not likely to pick him up again. There are many mid century mysteries out there that will meet my need for distraction.
