Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I apologise a trillion times

So sang Andre 3000 of Outkast. He'd just read The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories by P D James.

He's given us his review, now give us yours. Whatcha think?

Do we review a story at a time or do we wait and review the book as a whole?

Fine. Then I can exclusively reveal that I have read the first story and was entirely whelmed.

Should I have done 4 polls? So we could assign degrees of whelming to each one?

On a three card GT/BT/T (Good Thing / Bad Thing / Thing) scale it was definitely A Thing.

On a five card system (VBT/BT/T/GT/VGT) it still ranks a Thing, actually.

I am reading story 1. I just have to step in here to admire "given half a chance, he would have pawed me and assessed my second hand value." Clever.

[the book will always score well with me because of the charming events of last Saturday morning, with Badgo and Serrers alerting me to the choice on twitter when I was within sight of Ye Bintshoppe]
