![]() ![]() And, as Margo tries to juggle love, lust, and guilts, with B.B. Meanwhile, fringe anorexic B.B., erstwhile friend of Margo, remains off-center with unresolved grief, her hate/need of Andrew, and traumatic family-past relationships: she's hovering near a breakdown. Thus, Margo is soaking in her hot-tub in her "funky upside down house" when Andrew, B.B.'s attractive ex, slides in on a neighborly visit they'll soon be lovers. The women's men will criss-cross, of course. "B.B."-lost her ten-year-old son in a car crash, divorced her journalist-husband, now clings to twelve-year-old daughter Sara and oil heiress Clare is from Texas, with a philandering ex and a kid named Puffin. ![]() As for the mothers, they're a rather vacuous and tiresome lot: mother-of-two Margo (solar condo designer) counts up the 17 men she's slept with (including 21-year-old Eric) and has been divorced five years from Freddy, who wanted a Stepford Wife real-estater Francine-a.k.a. In her popular books for young people, Blume has often worked empathically within a teen frame of reference and here, though the prime focus is on the highs and histrionics of a trio of 40-ish, divorced professional women in Boulder, Colorado, it's their kids whose common-denominator fears and angers ring true. ![]()

And to make matters worse, the Field mansion is draped under a freak November snowstorm, making any hope of escape – or getting outside help – vanish faster than the Simmons famous stuffing. With every member of the Field family harboring their own cornucopia of secrets, figuring out who wanted to carve up Monty won’t be easy. ![]() But no one can dress up the disaster when the cover-worthy turkey goes boom right in Monty Field’s scowling face, sending him to that great dining room in the sky. Surely with their lumpless mashed potatoes and to-die-for gravy on the table, even the super-dysfunctional Fields can pretend to get along for one meal. That’s where A Little Taste of Heaven, Bernie and Libby’s catering company, comes in. They know that every family get-together has to be picture perfect, or they risk getting cut out of dominating patriarch Monty’s extremely lucrative will. Whipping up Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings can be stressful for anyone, but that goes double for the Field family. But this Thanksgiving they’re cooking a feast for felons. Sisters Bernie and Libby Simmons have handled plenty of catering challenges with grace and aplomb. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Contents 1 Codename Villanelle 1.1 Novella Series 1.2 Synopsis 1.3 Plot 2 Villanelle: No Tomorrow 2. A second novel, Villanelle: No Tomorrow, was released October 25, 2018. It is a compilation of four e-book novellas published between 20. Codename Villanelle is a sleek, fast-paced international thriller from an exciting new voice in fiction. Codename Villanelle is a novel by British author Luke Jennings released April 3, 2018. The ensuing chase will lead them on a trail around the world, intersecting with corrupt governments and powerful criminal organizations, all leading towards a final confrontation from which neither will emerge unscathed. ![]() Eve, whose quiet and otherwise unextraordinary life belies her quick wit and keen intellect, accepts the mission. But when she murders an influential Russian politician, she draws a relentless foe to her tail.Įve Polastri (not a codename) is a former MI6 operative hired by the national security services for a singular task: to find and capture or kill the assassin responsible, and those who have aided her. A catlike psychopath whose love for the creature comforts of her luxurious lifestyle is second only to her love of the game, she specializes in murdering the world's richest and most powerful. Villanelle (a codename, of course) is one of the world's most skilled assassins. ![]() The breakneck thriller that inspired TV sensation Killing Eve, starring Sandra Oh, "unlike any other spy drama you've seen" ( Daily Beast). ![]() ![]() ![]() I would’ve liked to see a bit more comeuppance for our villain here, rather than this merely being an opportunity to show how Lucius had grown, but nonetheless the scene did still work here. That aspect made this story work for me, though I did lose some patience at times with the extremely slow pace. When they faced challenges, these two surprised me with their honesty with each other and reliance on each other to get through to the other side of the issue. ![]() I loved the fact that, though it took a while, by the latter chapters of the book Cassandra and Lucius were confiding in each other and she was relying on him to be her partner. He grew as a character by leaps and bounds and Cassandra did as well, in her own way. Lucius certainly had a lot of growing up to do and it was like he finally woke up when he noticed Cassandra and remembered her from their childhoods. The fact that she treats him this way to protect her heart and because of her strong feelings for him is the only thing that made her tolerable for me and had me cheering for them as a couple. However, much of what she says to him is extremely rude and goes a long way towards making her unlikable. The duke certainly needed a wakeup call and Cassandra was perfect for him in that regard. I found this book to be charming, on the whole, but I do have some mixed feelings about it. ![]() ![]() It's an example of Tropes Are Not Bad, and it's wonderfully done. Author Avatar: O'Barr confirmed that Eric is his alter-ego. ![]() It's not known whether he'll go to hell or reunite with Shelly in paradise, but apparently, he redeemed himself, so it is possible. ![]()
