Time and Trouble

By: Gillian Roberts

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Marin County is famous for its affluent pleasures and the beauty of its beaches, mountains and redwood forests. In Time and Trouble, a teen-aged runaway, a yellow hearse, an insurance scam, a heart-shaped talisman, a baby’s skeleton in a meadow, and something ugly and odd going on in a Sausalito houseboat all converge there to provide the first—and nearly last—case for Billie August, the new hire of seasoned P.I. Emma Howe. Billie, a single parent with no practical job skills, desperately needs the job, and Emma, whose personality has caused most of her employees to head for the hills, hires the sure-to-fail inexperienced young woman out of her own desperation. An unlikely, antagonistic pair, both find out that things are seldom as they seem, and appearances—in and out of crime and investigation—can be dangerously deceiving.

Selected Novels Volume One

Copycat, Dogboy, and Unhallowed Ground

By: Gillian White

Three chilling novels of psychological suspense from “a novelist of the highest quality” (The Independent on Sunday). Copycat: Martha’s new neighbor, Jennie, seems to love everything about her: her beautiful house, impressive children, attractive husband, even the way she dresses. It’s all a bit much. But when Jennie starts changing, gaining confidence and succeeding in love and work, Martha’s life begins to come apart at the seams, and their frayed friendship hurtles toward an extreme confrontation. “White handles her gruesome ingredients with control and intelligence.” —The Independent on Sunday Dogboy: From the age of eight, when his mother died and he landed at the social services office, Fergus has fiercely loved his social worker, Jem. So Jem’s marriage is the deepest betrayal. Now nineteen, Fergus has just been released from prison, and he’s coming to set things right between them. “A tone of punchy malice governs White’s literate black comedy. . . . [She] wields a wickedly sardonic pen.” —Publishers Weekly Unhallowed Ground: London social worker Georgina Jefferson battles guilt and public disgrace when one of her charges, an abused five-year-old girl, is beaten to death. She retreats to an isolated cottage that once belonged to her deceased brother. But her neighbors’ hostility and a series of chilling incidents cause her to question who or what threatens her most. “Gothic elements abound in this spine-tingling melodrama. . . . A suspenseful, tautly woven thriller featuring a suitably shocking conclusion.” —Booklist With these three unforgettable psychological thrillers, “White evokes comparisons to Fay Weldon and Joy Fielding with her comic flair and touch of the grotesque” (Publishers Weekly).

Television Production in Transition

Independence, Scale, Sustainability and the Digital Challenge

By: Gillian Doyle,Richard Paterson,Kenny Barr

Focusing on the growing power of transnational media corporations in an increasingly globalized environment for distribution of television content, and on the effects of mergers and acquisitions involving local and independent television production companies, this book examines how current and recent re-structurings in ownership across the television industry reflect changing business models, how they affect creativity and diversity of television output, and to what extent they call for new approaches to regulation and policy. Based on a major study of the UK production sector as a case study, it offers a unique analysis of wider transformations in ownership affecting the television production industry worldwide and of their economic, socio-cultural and policy implications.

Blood on the Wood

A Nell Bray Mystery

By: Gillian Linscott

Once again, Gillian Linscott guides her delightfully starchy heroine through the politics, personalities, and perils of early twentieth-century England. When the suffragette movement is bequeathed a valuable painting by campaigner Philomena Venn, suffragette and amateur sleuth Nell Bray agrees to retrieve it. The plan is simple: Collect the picture from Philomena's widower, Oliver, take it to Christie's, and sell it to raise much-needed funds. But Nell is in for a surprise when she returns from the Vennes' home in the Cotswolds: The painting he has given her is a fake! When Oliver refuses to hand over the real painting, his son, political activist Daniel Venn, suggests an alternative plan to Nell: Why doesn't she break into the house and switch the paintings? Against her better judgment she agrees, and in the process she uncovers a far more serious crime---a brutal murder in which she is now personally embroiled. . . .

Agatha Christie

The Woman and Her Mysteries

By: Gillian Gill

In this sensitive and revealing biography of Agatha Christie, Gillian Gill probes the mysterious private life and motivations of one of the bestselling authors of all time and discovers a brilliant and eccentric woman whose passionate search for success was balanced by an obsession with privacy. The break-up of Agatha's first marriage to Archibald Christie and her subsequent ten-day disappearance had made headline news. Feeling hunted and wounded by the press, Christie determined never again to let them into her private life. Instead she developed a public persona - seemingly tongue-tied and dull - which ensured the journalists and the public would let her be. This successful strategy helped to account for a happy second marriage and family life as well as an astonishing literary productivity. Skillfully weaving the details of Christie's life with the plots and characters of her mystery novels, Gillian Gill uncovers the flesh-and-blood woman behind the popular and celebrated Marple-like image, and establishes Agatha Christie as a unique and determined person whose fictional creations sparked the imagination of millions around the world.

The Amanda Pepper Mysteries, Bundle #1

Caught Dead in Philadelphia; Philly Stakes; and I'd Rather Be in Philadelphia

By: Gillian Roberts

Philadelphia spells danger for an English teacher turned amateur sleuth in the first three novels of this Anthony Award–winning mystery series. Caught Dead in Philadelphia When Philly Prep English teacher Amanda Pepper finds a murdered colleague in her living room, she needs to clear her name—while trying not to become the next victim. But the only clue to the real killer’s identity is a Winnie-the-Pooh locket. Good thing handsome homicide detective C.K. Mackenzie is on her side. Philly Stakes When Amanda tries to get her students in the Christmas spirit by serving a meal for the homeless, the plan fatally backfires. Alexander “Sandy” Clausen, a politically ambitious parent, turns the event into a lavishly catered photo-op. But when Sandy is killed and his troubled daughter confesses, Amanda gets wrapped up in the investigation with her sometime boyfriend, Det. C.K. Mackenzie. I’d Rather Be in Philadelphia Amanda is sorting through donated books when she comes across a note that reads like an anonymous cry for help. Desperately searching for the troubled woman, Amanda locates her just in time to find the woman’s husband murdered. With the woman wrongly suspected, it’s up to Amanda and Det. C.K. MacKenzie to see the real killer get booked. “[Roberts is] the Dorothy Parker of mystery writers . . . giving more wit per page than most writers give per book.” —Nancy Pickard, award-winning author of the Jenny Cain series

A Dancer in Wartime

The touching true story of a young girl's journey from the Blitz to the Bright Lights

By: Gillian Lynne

London during the Blitz was a time of hardship, heroism and hope. For Gillian Lynne – a budding ballerina – it was also a time of great change as she was evacuated from war-torn London to a crumbling mansion, where dance classes took place in the faded ballroom. Life was hard, but her talent and dedication shone through and an astonishing journey ensued, which saw Gillian dancing a triumphant debut in Swan Lake, performing in the West End with doodlebugs falling and touring a devastated Europe entertaining the troops. A Dancer in Wartime paints a vivid and moving picture of what life was really like during the hard years of the Blitz and brings to life a lost world.

Blazing Cane

Sugar Communities, Class, and State Formation in Cuba, 1868–1959

By: Gillian McGillivray

Sugar was Cuba’s principal export from the late eighteenth century throughout much of the twentieth, and during that time, the majority of the island’s population depended on sugar production for its livelihood. In Blazing Cane, Gillian McGillivray examines the development of social classes linked to sugar production, and their contribution to the formation and transformation of the state, from the first Cuban Revolution for Independence in 1868 through the Cuban Revolution of 1959. She describes how cane burning became a powerful way for farmers, workers, and revolutionaries to commit sabotage, take control of the harvest season, improve working conditions, protest political repression, attack colonialism and imperialism, nationalize sugarmills, and, ultimately, acquire greater political and economic power. Focusing on sugar communities in eastern and central Cuba, McGillivray recounts how farmers and workers pushed the Cuban government to move from exclusive to inclusive politics and back again. The revolutionary caudillo networks that formed between 1895 and 1898, the farmer alliances that coalesced in the 1920s, and the working-class groups of the 1930s affected both day-to-day local politics and larger state-building efforts. Not limiting her analysis to the island, McGillivray shows that twentieth-century Cuban history reflected broader trends in the Western Hemisphere, from modernity to popular nationalism to Cold War repression.

Food Refusal and Avoidant Eating in Children, including those with Autism Spectrum Conditions

A Practical Guide for Parents and Professionals

By: Gillian Harris,Elizabeth Shea

Many autistic children have a restricted dietary range, and this book provides parents with advice and training on how to support them to achieve a healthier and more balanced diet. Now described as Avoidant or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), it is due to sensory hypersensitivity, and it can impact the child's health, their family life, and their social life. Based on successful training packages the authors provide for parents and professionals, this book enables the reader to understand restrictive eating and work with children, gradually increasing the range of food a child is able to eat. It includes 'box outs' with case studies, points of interest and action points to make this an accessible read full of tips and strategies.

Typically Gillian

By: Gillian Firth

The spark, from a damaged brain, ignited a passionate entry into a world of words, Gillian Firth's first novel 'Gillian Mk2' made impact. Nicky Rogers, editor 'Mobilise Magazine': 'book that moves you so much ... will be in your thoughts for the rest of your life'. Her first book is 'a triumph', the language is expressive and emotional, and it transcends normal boundaries, akin to a rollercoaster. One moment the reader laughs tears, she rolls a cigarette that 'looks like a Havana and a tampon crossed' in the hospital, it also resembles a joint. Then you cry in pain, the disbelief and the frustration, as the strong young woman becomes a victim of circumstances. But read on ... she will have a giggle around the corner. 'Typically Gillian', a continuation of this journey, requested by followers, she lives alone with help. Her disability is an issue but Gillian carries on, tackling routines of normality, the brave determination is inspirational, her parents and brother are irreplaceable, the harrowing but hilarious recounts of Gillian's exploits are memorable. Gillian brings reality to life and is adamant that she is 'not special', but she is and readers are right 'everyone' should read these books.

The End of the Line

By: Gillian Galbraith

From the author of the Alice Rice mysteries, an Edinburgh bibliophile uncovers an unsettling mystery surrounding the death of a late professor. After the death of leading hematologist Professor Anstruther, antiquarian book dealer Anthony Sparrow is tasked with clearing out his mansion of its books and papers. He soon begins to question the real circumstances of the old man’s death: Was he in fact murdered, and if so, who was responsible? The answer might be found in the personal diaries and letters which Sparrow unearths. But as he closes in on the answer, the perspective suddenly shifts and everything which he was sure about dissolves into darkness and shadows . . . Praise for The End of the Line “Full of twists and turns in all the right places, likely to appeal to many for its slow-build tension.” —Dundee Courier (UK) “By combining various different genres, from murder mystery to non-fiction exposé, Galbraith offers real insights into an event that’s been branded as the worst scandal in the history of the NHS.” —The Scotsman (UK)

The Darling Strumpet

A Novel of Nell Gwynn, Who Captured the Heart of England and King Charles

By: Gillian Bagwell

From London’s slums to its bawdy playhouses, The Darling Strumpet charts the meteoric rise of the dazzling Nell Gwynn, who captivates the heart of King Charles II—and becomes one of the century’s most famous courtesans… Witty and beautiful, Nell Gwynn is born into poverty, and trades her mother’s treacherous grasp for the grim life of a prostitute at a precious young age. But before long she finds herself drawn to the theater, where she earns a place in the King’s Company. As one of the first actresses in the newly opened playhouses, her talents and charms win the crowds’ affection—and the heart of her leading man. But when she catches the eye of the king himself, her life is transformed in ways she could never have imagined. Surrendering her body and heart to Charles, Nell will be forced to maneuver the ruthless and shifting allegiances of the royal court—and discover a world of decadence and passion she never imagined was possible…
