Summary

Snarky, delicious fun! The Camilla Randall mysteries are a laugh-out-loud mashup of romantic comedy, crime fiction, and satire: Dorothy Parker meets Dorothy L. Sayers. Perennially down-and-out socialite Camilla Randall is a magnet for murder, mayhem and Mr. Wrong, but she always solves the mystery in her quirky, but oh-so-polite way.  Usually with more than a little help from her gay best friend, Plantagenet Smith. 
 
Ghostwriters In The Sky: When a young writer is found dead in her gay best friend's bed at a writer's conference in California wine country, Camilla must enlist the help of a cross-dressing dominatrix to clear Plant's name. Unfortunately, she suspects the hot LA cop who has stolen her heart may be the murderer.  
 
In Sherwood Ltd. a homeless Camilla lands in Robin Hood country, where some not-so-merry men may be trying to kill her, and of course Camilla once again ends up in the most improbable, but always believable, circumstances.  
 
The Best Revenge is a prequel to the series, and takes us back to Camilla Randall's teen years, when she first meets Plantagenet Smith—and is accused of murder herself! 
"These stories are so carefully crafted and so cleverly presented that virtually every page offers a unique insight, experience, or perspective, that grabs my attention, tickles my imagination, and makes me laugh out loud." 
"A trio of light but intelligent reads. What a pleasure to spend a few days with bits of suspense, as well as some slightly ditzy but loveable characters, all tossed about together in a comical hurricane." 
"Serious and absorbing plots. Lighthearted at the same time. "

    This fourth book in the series, portrays a closely-knit group of people living in the north Tipperary hills during the early 20th century - a community largely made up of small farmers, whose lives were far different from today. The book's inspiration comes from writers such as Thomas Hardy and attempts to pass on to readers the lyrical and rich phrasings of Tipperary's old hill folk and capture the spiritual wealth of an age that remained unchanged for several centuries.Tales of . . .* brotherly love and hate.* a rogue's return from across the sea and his efforts to reform.* an unexpected first-love at the harvest-time dance-in-the-fields.* persecution of two old saints at the hands of misguided youth.* sports-day activities for adults and children alike, following the arduous channelling of a new stream.* two adventurous toddlers, getting lost in the wilderness but saved by a witch.'. . . lovers of literature will find themselves engrossed in the lives of a past hillside community.'Addison & Cole

    Frankie Abbott is certainly one of the most memorable characters from the British sitcoms Please Sir! (which ran from 1968 to 1971) and The Fenn Street Gang (1971 to 1973). Now, David Barry – the much-loved actor who played Frankie in both TV series and the spin-off film – gives us a highly-anticipated glimpse into what the trouble-maker is up to today. 
As it turns out, with well over five decades having passed since his Fenn Street days, the mother-smothered fantasist is now living in a care home… and is still a big-talking buffoon whose ‘true stories’ are littered with guns, girls and gangsters. However, with Frankie upsetting some of the home’s other residents, two carers – Marion and Sarah – set out to discover the truth of his past, attempting to find out whether he really was the hard man he still claims to have been. 
In true sitcom style, these two episodes of The Lives of Frankie Abbott have been recorded in front of a live studio audience, and will delight both fans of the original series and newcomers to the character alike. 
Additional cast include: Graham Cole as Charlie, Larry Dann as Melvin, Felicity Dean as Marion, Suzanne Maddock as Sarah and Judy Matheson as Grace.
