Turn the telly on Saturday night for the lottery programme, everyone – my incredibly sporty daughter Jessica and me are on it, playing netball with Sir Chris Hoy. Gosh.
On another note, Booklist has given the thumbs–up to Frankie’s Letter. This is what they said:
Frankie's Letter, Gordon-Smith, Dolores (Author), Jan 2013. 224 p. Severn, hardcover, $28.95. (9780727882172).
It’s the height of WWI, and Dr. Anthony Brooke has abandoned his medical career to become a spy for England. His latest mission in Germany is compromised when wounded fellow spy Terence Cavanaugh staggers into Anthony’s hotel room and dies at Anthony’s feet. His last mumbled words are, “English gentleman spy,” “star anger,” and “Frankie’s letter.” Completely mystified but with the German army hot on his trail, Anthony flees to England, where he is charged with figuring out what is behind Cavanaugh’s final, puzzling message. The trail leads to the country estate of publishing magnate Patrick Sherston, where Anthony finds himself embroiled in a terrifying game of subterfuge. Packed with adventure, action, and unforeseen twists, Gordon-Smith’s latest will appeal to Ken Follett fans.
Ken Follett, eh? That’s not bad.
Aa a matter of fact, though, the main message poor old Terence Cavanaugh mumbles is “Frankie’s letter. Read Frankie’s letter...” And, with Christmas round the corner, if you’re looking for a pressie, you could take it as a hint...!
Congratulations on both fronts, Dolores! net ball on the telly--what a celeb you're becoming! Frankie's great review is much deserved!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Dolores; an excellent review, and an appearance on tv too! I don't suppose you were waving a copy of FRANKIE'S LETTER during the netball game...no, that's probably against netball rules. If you go on making celebrity appearances you'll have to get a t-shirt printed!
