There's a tragic honesty to it that reminds you there are kids out there where this is no mere story, but a present fact of life, but Myracle does inject the story with humor at the right times to keep things from becoming too dour. Myracle touches on some sensitive topics here like suicide and abuse, but it never feels cheap or played simply for shock. Under the Moon really tells the story of Selina Kyle, a young girl who has weathered far too many storms for someone so young. ![]() As you might surmise, Under the Moon is the story of Catwoman, but that's probably simplifying it a bit too much.

In 2016, presidential candidate Donald Trump declared: "I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct." Reeling from his victory, Democrats blamed the corrosive effect of "identity politics."

We read this as part of our family reading group. The Marlow Murder Club however does not feature him and is the first in the Marlow Murder Club mystery with a fresh set of characters. he has also written a number of spin-off novels featuring the first Death in Paradise detective DI Richard Poole. Now before you start believing that you have wandered into the digital version of the Radio Times, there is a reason for this! The author of the Marlow Murder Club created Death in Paradise. The fictional island of Saint Marie is served by an airport, a meditation centre, has a volcano, several rock festivals and boasts an astounding amount of murders all solved by a quirky Inspector and his staff of 3. Imagine Midsomer Murders with a range of 'locked door' seemingly impossible mysteries all set on a beautiful Caribbean Island. If you are looking for a gentle crime TV series, the I would definitely recommend Death in Paradise. ![]() |
