(Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, as she becomes embroiled in a right royal rumpus! “One of the best cozy mystery series I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” Everything is ready for the coronation of King Charles. The pomp and pageantry has been rehearsed and re-rehearsed, more than a few times, and everything double-double-checked to ensure there are no hiccups or complications. Then, seven days before the big day, one great big complication rears its head. The coronation crown disappears. A news blanket is hastily thrown over the affair, so the general public has no idea the most valuable item in the Crown Jewels isn’t where it’s supposed to be. Unfortunately, the Metropolitan Police and the SIS have no idea where it is either. Daisy has no part to play in recovering the loot. At least, not officially. When Rupert deWinter visits her unexpectedly, in Daisy’s mind it means she has to be more involved, despite being warned not to meddle. When she’s told there might be a Norfolk connection, that’s her green flag! Someone Daisy once knew is responsible for the theft. He’s already been punished, but the crown is still missing. Clutching at straws, the Secret Intelligence Service is sifting through his back-story, talking to anyone and everyone he either knew or once knew. It’s a desperate stab in the dark, but a king without a crown just can’t be. Daisy being Daisy, she’s convinced there’s only one person who can solve the complication! Little does she know, but life and death are a lot more complicated than she ever imagined. It’s a tall order, but can she find the crown before the big day?

Following a recent embarrassing diplomatic mess, MI6 has tasked an obnoxious, thoroughly-unpleasant senior agent with ‘cleaning up’ their image. Part of his task involves scrutinising old missions from before the time the SIS had to be more politically-correct. His eagle-eyes have unearthed a case in 1998 which he believes proves Daisy to be a double agent, and unfortunately for her, he has the authority to prosecute. He’s not letting go, but then a couple of discoveries in Daisy’s present spook her even more. The darker side of MI6 is out to make an example of her, and ensure they’re seen to be doing it. She realises she has to tread very carefully to prove her innocence, especially as recent events are more fuel for the pointing finger. Daisy can’t trust anyone outside her family, other than the one person who might be able to help. The only problem is she’s not in the UK.

A mystery to solve is the last thing she expects to stumble across in a sleepy village a few miles from Kings Lynn in Norfolk. To her surprise she’s adapted to country life quite well, although she rather unkindly refers to the beautiful village of Great Wiltingham as the ‘place people go to wilt’. According to Daisy, nothing is ever quite what it seems. In her case, that’s the truest thing ever spoken. She’s nothing like a pensioner is supposed to be. It could be something to do with the career she had before retiring… or perhaps because she wishes she’d never had to leave it behind at all. For some strange reason, trouble seems to follow her around. It’s been a peaceful twelve months settling into village life, but that’s about to come to an abrupt end... ‘The Root of all Evil’ is the first book in the long-running Daisy Morrow series.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “brilliant [and] entrancing” (The Guardian) journey into the hidden lives of fungi—the great connectors of the living world—and their astonishing and intimate roles in human life, with the power to heal our bodies, expand our minds, and help us address our most urgent environmental problems. “Grand and dizzying in how thoroughly it recalibrates our understanding of the natural world.”—Ed Yong, author of An Immense World ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR—Time, BBC Science Focus, The Daily Mail, Geographical, The Times, The Telegraph, New Statesman, London Evening Standard, Science Friday When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems. Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave. In the first edition of this mind-bending book, Sheldrake introduced us to this mysterious but massively diverse kingdom of life. This exquisitely designed volume, abridged from the original, features more than one hundred full-color images that bring the spectacular variety, strangeness, and beauty of fungi to life as never before. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters, earth makers, and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster. By examining fungi on their own terms, Sheldrake reveals how these extraordinary organisms—and our relationships with them—are changing our understanding of how life works. Winner of the Wainwright Prize, the Royal Society Science Book Prize, and the Guild of Food Writers Award • Shortlisted for the British Book Award • Longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize
Download or read book Changing Roles written by Vivien Newman and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2021-11-24 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graverobbers, prime-movers in geo-politics, jailbirds, international football celebs. Such terms are not usually associated with women in the 1920s, as women returning docilely to the domestic cage at the end of the First World War has become part of the accepted narrative. Like many war and immediate post war myths, it does contain some truth, but the story of women between 1918 and 1928 is much more complex, often more positive and certainly far more interesting than previously suggested. Changing Roles looks at some of the women who forged new identities for themselves while exploring how their own or their loved ones’ wartime experiences influenced the roles they stepped into, sometimes reluctantly, frequently enthusiastically, often successfully. It explores how women fought back against the misogynistic climate of the 1920s, used the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act to achieve their goals, played their part as full citizens and how the legacy of their global endeavours, achievements and occasional failures is still with us today, spreading far beyond our shores. By telling the stories of both ordinary and extraordinary women whose actions disturbed the status quo, shook the Establishment to its core, and sent shock-waves across the Atlantic, this book presents a cast of fascinating characters ranging from crowned heads to girl gangs, business women to philanthropists, inviting readers to exclaim, “Gosh, I never knew that!”
