The premise for The Franchise Affair is brilliant: an icy middle aged woman and her awful mum are accused of kidnapping and assaulting a teenage girl. Deny all knowledge. I WAS GUESSING UNTIL THE LAST PAGE 😬 haven't enjoyed such an idiosyncratic page-turner since Celia Fremlin's Uncle Paul

I need to read every night in bed, always have. It's usually horror, sci-fi or crime. I've got into the Inspector Grant mysteries and Josephine Tey's back catalogue after The Franchise Affair -- that rollicking society crime familiar to Christie fans.🔎🐧Can't believe I've never heard of her before.

As I'm visiting two new exhibitions by Marie Jones today, I'll share my last catalogue essay for the textile artist here:
A woman's work
laurarobertsoniswriting.cargo.site/a-woman-s-work
In which Jones highlights the conditions facing artists, makes us laugh, gives the next gen hope.
