  Having decided to redecorate Woodside Cottage, Jude engages the services of local man Pete, who painted and decorated the homes of Fethering residents for many years. Pete is currently working on Footscrow House, a large Victorian building that is being converted into holiday flats by a local developer. Having arranged to meet at Fiasco House, as it is known locally due to the many failed business enterprises over the years, Jude and Pete make a surprising discovery behind a wall panel: a woman's handbag! The casual discovery becomes serious when the police identify the handbag's owner as Anita Garner, a young woman who vanished under suspicious circumstances twenty years earlier. Determined to find out what really happened to Anita all those years ago, Jude and her neighbor, Carole, investigate—and are plunged into a maze of deception and murder.

  "Jimmie Higgins" by Upton Sinclair is a poignant exploration of working-class struggles and idealism during World War I. The story follows Jimmie, a spirited Socialist and labor activist, as he navigates the challenges of poverty, patriotism, and political disillusionment. Initially fervently anti-war, Jimmie’s convictions are tested when he joins the military, exposing him to the harsh realities of conflict and propaganda. Sinclair delves into themes of class struggle, loyalty, and the cost of ideological compromise. Through Jimmie’s journey, the novel critiques the exploitation of workers and the moral contradictions of war.
