📚Finished reading Queen Macbeth by Val McDermid.

This short book tells a new episode from the world of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. But, him having apparently died in battle before the main story starts, it’s about the adventures of his surviving wife and the women around her as they seek refuge from would-be killers greedy to take the throne for themselves.

To be honest I don’t remember enough about the play for the references to be particularly meaningful to me - but even with that it’s a perfectly readable and enjoyable story that’s quick to get through.
