Not read such an unputdownable book in a long time. An unreliable narrator who sounds like my dad, a mixture of Agatha Christie and Enid Blyton with code-cracking, bank heists and capers thrown in, expertly done and so enjoyable. It may have helped that the author grew up in Northolt and went to RHUL, so I felt an affinity straight away. Fred is back from Newquay now having had a fantastic time away and all three kids are now having a lazy half-term doing nothing. the Jubilee weekend starts tomorrow and we are going away for a few days, but the weather forecast doesn't look good. The most exciting thing about the jubilee to me is a new trifle has been released. I'll make it tomorrow. . .
