Synopsis

The collected novels of E. M. Delafield, including six titles in one edition, offer a captivating portrayal of English society in the early 20th century. Delafield's unique writing style combines humor, social commentary, and an acute observation of human behavior. Set against the backdrop of post-Edwardian Britain, these novels explore themes of class, gender roles, and the changing dynamics of the time. Delafield's witty dialogues and sharp characterizations make her work a delightful read for those interested in domestic fiction and social satire of the era. E. M. Delafield, a prolific British author, drew upon her own experiences as a wife, mother, and writer to create a rich tapestry of characters and situations in her novels. Her keen insight into the complexities of women's lives and relationships set her apart as a significant voice in early 20th-century literature. Delafield's work continues to be celebrated for its humor and incisive commentary on the society of her time. I highly recommend The Collected Novels of E. M. Delafield to readers who appreciate astute social commentary, engaging characters, and a humorous portrayal of English society. Delafield's works remain relevant and entertaining, offering a glimpse into the cultural mores and values of the early 1900s.

    Sometimes, folklores are real. 
     
    When legendary TV actor Montgomery Pryce is shot in the chest by an arrow and killed while on stage during a Robin Hood convention, Detective Inspector Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon are brought in to solve the murder, only to find that nearly everyone there holds a bow capable of loosing the arrow. 
     
    And when the cast of Pryce's show bring to light terrible jealousies and secrets from their past, and Ryan Gates, one of the co-stars is discovered to have a valid reason for wanting to silence Pryce, Declan finds himself facing paparazzi, managers and brutal personal appearance agents, as the organisers of the convention refuse to cancel it, and the bodycount rises. 
     
    Running against the clock, and with a suspect list longer than the roll call of Robin Hood's merry men, Declan must find out not only who killed Robin Hood, but also whether he was the actual target in the first place. 
     
    Because, for the first time... could Robin Hood have been the villain?
