Then DEAD BEFORE MORNING, #1 in the Rafferty series, should do it. <h2> <center>If you enjoy some humour with your murders, you'll love this British detective series</h2> </center> <h2> <center>ABOUT THE SERIES DI Joe Rafferty, working-class lapsed Catholic, is cursed by coming from a family who think -- if he must be a copper-- he might at least have the decency to be a bent one. When you add the middle-class, moralistic intellectual DS Dafyd Llewellyn to the brew the result is murder with plenty of laughs for us and plenty of angst for Rafferty. </h2> </center> <b>Detective Inspector Joe Rafferty has just been promoted. Then he lands the case from Hell, one involving a corpse with no face, no ID, smashed-up teeth and found in a place she had no business being: a secure private psychiatric hospital. Dr Anthony Melville-Briggs, the suave, social-climbing owner, who thinks his money can buy everything, even the police, is yet another cross for Rafferty to bear. As if that isn't enough, his Ma, Kitty Rafferty, thinks nothing of adding to his load. She expects him to pull strings to get his distant cousin out of the cells in time for his wedding. Against his better judgement, Rafferty promises to get his cousin sprung, though he is careful not to give a time-scale for the Great Escape. Struggling, with no solution in sight, it is only when he is reminded of his forgotten promise, does his good deed for the day, and goes to see his jail-bird cousin, that Rafferty begins to put the case to bed </b> <center> <b>'Evans' humor seriously added to my enjoyment of her book.

For the last three years I have been the Primary Carer for my Mother following her stroke. We have faced many challenges during this time. By far the greatest challenge for me, however, has been trying to explain to people exactly what it is that I do as a Carer.This book is my way of meeting that challenge.For seven days over the christmas period I maintained a diary of events, thoughts and feelings in the hope that it would help inform people of what the life of a Carer is really like.This is that diary.

George Dempster was a giant of a man who became one of the best-known and most deservedly popular Scotsman of his day.He served for thirty years as an MP in Westminster and was closely involved with the expansion of British influence and trade across the world particularly in India and North America. This was the age of Empire building and great rivalry between competing powers, particularly France, which led to protracted warfare.A trained lawyer, Dempster was at the heart of political and business life and his circle of friends was large and powerful. Yet power did not corrupt him and he was respected by allies and opponents, being known as 'Honest George'. Master of the famous Skibo Estate in Sutherland, Dempster's energy was legendary and he used his talents as an entrepreneur and developer, bringing prosperity and jobs to disadvantaged regions.Dempster was more than an observer of history; he made it.
