Formerly @seventh7rainbow in another life. Creator of The Mystery Jukebox and friend of Kitty. Scribbler of beloved whodunnits which I give away for free to stop them being pirated.

Update:

Apparently my books AND the expired coupons that made them free have "migrated" to the company that bought Smashwords. I have no idea how to access the new account.

I have unpublished my books on evil Amazon (or at least I tried to)

I resent having so little control over my own property.
All my novels are available to download for FREE. You'll find a link in the following post. Perfect reading if you're a fan of well-crafted whodunnits!

But don't just take my word for it. See what my wonderful readers have to say...

Tuesday November 28, 1854.

Mr Peterson, Sir John's third cousin once removed, looked astonished to hear my revelations.

"So he murdered his wife?" he gasped.

"I believe so."

"And he can't be brought to book?"

"My close contacts in the Metropolitan Police say not."

"Oh. Oh, my..."

Reminiscent of a triffid I don’t know what type of orchid this is. It’s a cutting from one my son inherited from his previous house owner. The aerial roots are getting really long - the longest is 19cm!

As December approaches I tend to wind down my love of terrible Christmas films. But I have found an alternative! I've stumbled across the Garage Sale Mystery films. There's loads of them. Everything I love about Hallmark but in a mystery that makes Diagnosis Murder look like it was written by Ibsen.

One from the vaults from me Michael. We’ve just discovered that Netflix are showing Foyle’s War, which we were aware of, but had never seen. An excellent watch, very well acted and ingeniously plotted. Bonus feature; the euphoniously named Honeysuckle Weeks, as Sam Stewart.

Finally decided to stop watching Classic Emmerdale on ITV3 - recordings of episodes where building up, as I was watching them more slowly took that as a sign and deleted them last weekend.

Started at 1996 in 2020, ended with 2007 in 2025, so a good run, although can see changes in the show, etc.

Afternoon Michael
We watched the 1st episode of this on catch-up on the recommendation of a friend who, like me, has read the excellent Stephen Booth books.
Not as dynamic as the novels, Fry is way too nice, but it is fairly effortless viewing from Channel 5.

I've really been enjoying "Pluribus" which is an Apple TV sci-fi show.

There's maybe a slight chance it'll resolve things in an unsatisfying way, but I have a certain amount of faith in Vince Gilligan, so fingers crossed!

Good mornin' Michael 😊
I watched 👇 this week. It's 6 half hour episodes, on Sky Atlantic. I really enjoyed it. It's adapted from a novel (I haven't read) by Nick Cave. Matt Smith and the rest of the cast are excellent. The storyline is so good. I couldn't stop watching. Dark. Gripping. 12/10

Monday November 27, 1854.

I removed my bowler hat and knocked respectfully at my employer's office door.

"Come!" came the immediate response.

"Sir," I said upon entering, "I have a pressing question to ask." Though I saw him roll his eyes, I was determined to stay the course.
