@DLSSoc @UKHouseofLords Lord Lisvane was on the BBC panel for the King's Speech yesterday - he's a former Clerk of the House of Commons but seems to know a lot about Parliament as a whole. Worth contacting him?

Just a reminder that you can still vote for the @HarrogateFest Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year shortlist. All the longlisted books are great but I’d be very grateful if anyone wanted to vote for The Frozen People 😊 harrogatetheakstoncrimeaward.com/vote

Look out for Rose Tremain's stunning new novel The Housekeeper, about the "real" Mrs Danvers with whom DDM had an affair. You'll never read Rebecca the same way afrter.

Finished Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier - this morning, read by the sublime #HollidayGrainger. She's perfect at evoking British 1930s UMC accents, think Venetia Hall but slightly less jolly hockeysticks. Though, and no shade to Holliday, I have no idea why she pronounces 'passage' as 'p-saj'. I feel like starting it all over again, it's one of the very best English novels, my love for it definitely influenced by its parallels with another perfect novel, Jane Eyre. Though I don't think I actually like any of the characters, apart from when the narrator - the second Mrs De Winter - describes her initial thought after her husband's 'shocking' revelation. Read it!!

Out today: Villainous Saltpetre, bringing Galileo’s list of Clifford Witting reissues to twelve! We hope you enjoy this mystery, which is set in Cornwall & centres around the death of an unsuccessful playwright - who’d already staged his own disappearance 25 years earlier!

Agatha Christie brilliantly sets the post-war (1950) atmosphere by having a character read out classified ads in the local paper, and comment on them (A Murder is Announced)
