But when their secret is discovered, the resulting chaos, including a murder, unleashes convulsive repercussions on the entire community.

We must keep revising the story and bringing it up to date. I was saying, well that’s the whole point! That we continue to revise history. We can’t go back there and instead, we’re just creating narratives about it in our own time.’ One of the things he was asking me was ‘how can anyone write historical narratives? Because the past is over. It was really interesting to do something like that. I’ve mostly written short things, and I’ve just done a big questionnaire about my novel The Gathering Night, as someone wanted to interview me about writing about pre-history and about hunter-gatherers. Have you been writing this past year? How has the lockdown/coronavirus manifested itself in your writing? Last week I sat down for a chat with the wonderful Margaret Elphinstone, author of historical fiction such as The Gathering Night and The Sea Road, for a chat about life on remote islands, Viking digs, and how the pandemic has influenced her writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Foundation is open from April 1st through November 1st, including bank holidays, from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm (ticket office closes at 5:30pm).

Not information she's want to share with her sometime live-in roommate, vice cop Joe Morelli, A typical dilemma in the world of Plum. Ranger's price for the job? One night with Stephanie, dusk to dawn. When Mooner disappears, she calls in the heavy artillery and asks master bounty hunter Ranger for help. When Dougie disappears, Steph goes into search mode. ![]() They've gotten sucked into an operation that is much more than simple cigarette smuggling and holds risks far greater than anyone could have imagined. Likeable losers (and Steph's former high school classmates) Walter MoonMan Dunphy and Dougie The Dealer Kruper have inadvertently become involved with DeCooch. He wouldn't mind shooting Stephanie next. He's already shot Loretta Ricci, an innocent old lady, and left her for worm food in his shed. ![]() Not such an easy job, it turns out, since DeCooch has learned a lot of tricks over the years and isn't afraid to use his gun. ![]() When DeCooch fails to show for a court appearance, bond enforcement agent Stephanie Plum is assigned the task of finding him and dragging his decrepit ass back to jail. Semiretired mob guy Eddie DeCooch is caught trafficking contraband cigarettes through Trenton, New Jersey. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He doesn't want to take time off work to deal with the children, he doesn't want to put them to bed, he doesn't want to babysit on the one night out his wife wants with her friends, he doesn't want to cook, do any shopping, take her out for the evening, in fact he doesn't want to do anything he doesn't want to. And in common with a lot of husbands and fathers he doesn't want to do much. The agreement between the husband and wife is that he is the major earner and she works part-time and does all the child care, housework, and anything else that he doesn't want to. But it goes two layers deep, and it made me very sad. On the surface, this is a humorous look at a middle-class, middle-aged couples marriage with an appalling new-age leech of a sister-in-law and a pretentious mother-in-law. ![]() |
