“Public Service Announcement” = it’s just a woman called Louise posting a niche opinion online

Sorry to hear the column is ending. We need more arts and culture coverage, not less!

Hah but it was v good from what I remember!

Chloes in YA novels are either murder/kidnapping victims or queen bees who persecute the MC. They are almost always blonde.

Oh yes it was the Garvie Smith mysteries by Simon Mason. MC described as “charming, brilliant but bone idle.”
Also yet another example of the victim being a teenage girl called Chloe

Not the same but there was a v good couple of YA murder mysteries about ten years ago with a laconic boy detective MC. Totally forgotten title/author but first was orange with maze pattern, second blue (unhelpful I know)

All books in English, including translations, published in the UK are eligible, so I think that fulfils it

We should be on BST all year round!

Amazed by this news. Imagining, given the eligibility criteria, that there’s going to be quite a bit of overlap with the Carnegie

The best part of going to your mum’s: being given a rundown of all the long-term health conditions and agonising divorce dramas of people you have never met in your whole, entire life

Is this a sort of Crimestoppers line where you're grassing on the stoats to the stoat-catchers, or is it like the garden bird survey but for mustelids?

Yeah we gave up on it. It was very meandering and repetitive

This is going to end with me buying 5 different cables isn’t it 😭
