Now a history professor at Puget Sound University, the former agent has put his old life behind him, but it seems his old life isn’t finished with him.Ī young man has gone missing from campus and as a favor to a family friend, Elliot agrees to do a little sniffing around. ![]() Highly recommended.Ī crippling knee injury forced Elliot Mills to trade in his FBI badge for dusty chalkboards and bored college students. ![]() This is a series I know I’ll come back to and more than once. Each book can be read as a standalone, but then you’d miss out on some great books. And while there is romance, the books are mostly focused on the mystery taking place. ![]() This is a Series Review of All’s Fair (Books 1 – 3)Īll’s Fair is probably my all-time favourite series of Ms. ![]()

![]() ![]() She has attained the age of forty without any form of relationship, not unusual for a generation of women who had been young at the end of the First World War whose potential husbands had not returned from the battlefields. In a way more shocking is the subject of Miss Pettigrew, downtrodden governess, still bound by the conventions of a strictly moral upbringing, with low expectations of life. Today it is still a little shocking in terms of its subject matter of a nightclub singer with a variety of lovers and suggestion of drug use. A delightful book which was a little shocking in 1938 when it was first published, its survival was remarkable and a testament to the insight of Persephone books who republished it in 2000 to great popularity. ![]() Of all the splendid Persephone republished books, this is probably a favourite of many readers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fox in 1987, and even though I didn’t know about it or read it until I’d finished writing about my own Mr. But also one of my favorite writers, Barbara Comyns, wrote a book about a wily man called Mr. ![]() Fox, that’s partly because calling it Mary Foxe seemed like bad luck for Mary-books and films that have a woman’s name as their title seem to end up with the woman dead or insane or bereft in some way, and I like Mary too much for that. This book is full of foxes and foxgloves and fox trotting and all things fox. Fox because I think of him as both wild and urbane also he’s a namesake of the English Bluebeard and an even older mythological lady killer, Reynardine (from the French for fox, Reynard). Ali Smith, Booker Prize–nominated, best-selling author of There But For The, and The Accidental, interviews Helen Oyeyemi about Mr. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a book that you want to talk about with your daughter if she reads it. In real life or as an exemplar of a healthy relationship, this is a terrible book. The reason that it is disturbing is the fairly positive light in which this dangerous and dysfunctional relationship is portrayed. The voice of the author is compelling and her command of the characters make the book seem all the more real. I totally understand the appeal because it is a very readable book plus I think that there are hookable elements such as a fantastical ideal of the bad boy who transforms for one person only. This book is often recommended on the goodreads forums and it is highly rated.
