What’ the Professional about. I just read (listened to) The Twentieth Wife by Indra Sundaresan. Some of the amazon reviews are bad, but I really enjoyed it. Historical fiction about the aunt of the empress for whom the Taj Mahal was built.
I also read (listened to) Nixon and Mao by Margaret McMillan last week. So I am putting your book by her on my list.
The Professional is detective fiction - Spenser for Hire. There’s a whole series of these by Robert B Parker, and I’m obsessed, I’ve read ‘em all, goes back years.
The Twentieth Wife looks interesting. Going on my wish list.
