1. You need a new shovel.
2. The morning after a hard rain is a great time to pull up unwanted saplings and other weeds.
3. When you are pulling up something rooted deeply, brace yourself or plan to land on your butt. Hard.
4. If you are standing facing uphill and you hear a jet, do not tip your head back to look for it, or plan to land on your butt. Hard.

6. You need a new nail brush!
7. Your co-workers do not need to know that you habitually turn a towel into lekku after your shower.

Kolymsky Heights by Lionel Davidson
The fact that I was expecting a horror novel and got a thriller is my fault, not the author's or the publisher. And since I am not a big fan of thrillers, I went into this book with a feeling of obligation rather than excitement.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the book. While I wouldn't re-read it, the pacing was good, all the characters enjoyable (although the Russian Major General is a bit two-dimensional) and the plot kept my attention.
This novel might be an even bigger pleasure for someone who loves thrillers, but for me it was still an engaging read.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
