A cosy, twisty mystery that reintroduces the glorious characters we met in the bestselling The Postscript Murders - shortlisted for the Gold Dagger. Natalka from Ukraine has quit her job as a carer and joined up with retiree, Edwin, to run a detective agency on England's south coast. Despite a steady stream of minor cases, Natalka is frustrated, longing for a big juicy investigation such as murder to come the agency's way. She is now living with dreamer, Benedict, who continues to run his coffee shack. Life gets complicated when her Ukrainian mother, Viktoria, joins them from her war-torn country - three's a crowd. Viktoria invades the tiny flat, cooking borscht and cleaning things that are already clean. To add to Natalka's irritation, Benedict and Viktoria get on brilliantly.Edwin is a big reader of obituaries, so when a local obit writer, Dan Haynes, dies, Edwin decides to look further, only to discover a series of unexpected deaths. Are the clues in the obits themselves? Edwin decides to write an obit to see what clues it throws up. Then he disappears.The chase to find him takes the team to London and back to the south coast, where the solution lies remarkably close to home.

Millbank Penitentiary: An Experiment in Reformation

Millbank Penitentiary, An Experiment of Reformation is a written history of Millbank Prison, from its building up to its last days. Millbank Prison was a prison in Millbank, Pimlico, London, originally constructed as the National Penitentiary, and which for part of its history served as a holding facility for convicted prisoners before they were transported to Australia. It was opened in 1816 and closed in 1890. -Wikipedia The early history of Millbank is interesting on many accounts. It was like a ship at sea, its life centred in itself, cut off from the great world, and yet watched with deep concern by many of the foremost men of the day, and suffering from injudicious interference rather than neglect. It was on its trial, and with regard to the reformation of convicts, it did not, and could not, according to the author, fulfil the hopes of its founders. -M.E. Mayo
