Love Will Tear Us Apart
Love Will Tear Us Apart | C. K. McDonnell
7 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Love can be a truly terrible thing. Marriages are tricky at the best of times, especially when one of you is dead. Vincent Banecroft, the irascible editor of The Stranger Times, has never believed his wife died despite emphatic evidence to the contrary. Now, against all odds, it seems he may actually be proved right; but what lengths will he go to in an attempt to rescue her? With Banecroft distracted, the shock resignation of assistant editor, Hannah Willis, couldn't have come at a worse time. It speaks volumes that her decision to reconcile with her philandering ex-husband is only marginally less surprising than Banecroft and his wife getting back together. In this time of crisis, is her decision to swan off to a fancy new-age retreat run by a celebrity cult really the best thing for anyone? As if that wasn't enough, one of the paper's ex-columnists has disappeared, a particularly impressive trick seeing as he never existed in the first place. Floating statues, hijacked ghosts, homicidal cherubs, irate starlings, Reliant Robins and quite possibly several deeply sinister conspiracies; all-in-all, a typical week for the staff of The Stranger Times.

A new assistant editor is starting at The Stranger Times while Hannah takes up a therapy retreat in an attempt to reconcile with her ex-husband. A conspiracy theorist wrongly identified as a columnist for the paper is kidnapped.

Very funny as usual, but unfortunately I didn't remember enough of what had happened in the previous books to always follow what was going on.

This was fun.

Third book in the series. There's to be an attack on the paper. Sadly, Hannah has left The Stranger Times. Banecroft needs to find a new editor. Grace is building a box-fort. Stella wants to become a reporter. Ox and Reggie disagree over the acquisition of wellingtons. Manny needs to man the cue on loon-day. DI Sturgess went grocery shopping. And Simon speaks in tongues.

😜😁😂

Tristam Bleeker's mind went blank. Staring down the wrong end of a gun will have that effect on a man.

'Are we sure this is safe?' asked Grace, who was steadying the other side of the ladder.

'We've sent a stoned Rastafarian up a six-foot ladder to try to corral a floating statue,' replied Stella. "This feels like the start of a weird Hallowe'en special of Casualty.'

... if Betty were to find out that Ox had been scamming a second pay cheque, he'd lose his job. If Banecroft were to find out, Ox would quite possibly lose his life. When she'd started this process, Stella had one hundred percent not wanted either of those things to happen. After spending the afternoon in the dank, miserable basement, she was now, at best, fifty-two percent in favour of Ox's continuing existence....
