![]() ![]() ![]() I loved Myla Goldberg's latest, Feast Your Eyes (Remember her great novel, Bee Season?) It's a novel told in letters, journal entries, and exhibition notes about a photographer trying to balance single motherhood, dedication to her art, and the outside world's accusations of obscenity. It's really a mother-daughter story, as the daughter is the one who writes the exhibition notes and shares with us the pain of growing up in poverty with an obsessed artist for a mother, but who also grew up knowing that with obsession can also come incredible creativity and the breaking of molds. ![]() ![]()

The 'whodunnit' wasn't exactly taxing - just look for the most dubious character, battling with a bad case of pantomime villain - but the unravelling of the clues kept me interested (just about - at times this felt like an epic, instead of an installment of a detective series). The history in the house, and the subsequent family tree research, had me hooked. Sleeping Murder: Miss Marples Last Case is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in October. I love the idea of Gwenda subconsciously buying a house from her past, and the details she uncovers, such as the pattern of the wallpaper in the cupboard and the steps in the garden. I don't like Miss Marple, so perhaps that is why I find this a decent story - I can't compare it to the books, and the world's oldest detective only crops up every now and again to explain the plot to the newlywed couple. 'Sleeping Murder' keeps rolling around on afternoon BBC television, and I have been drawn into the story twice so far. But she had, as they say, a secret and as Marple says in Sleeping Murder, secrets are like bindweed with its roots that go down underground a long way. ![]() ![]() Of course, the white collar employees have a home to return to at the end of the day.
