A Generation of Vipers: An absolutely addictive and page-turning British cozy mystery (A Dr Nell Ward Mystery Book 4)

Product Information

Whilst working on furze heath project she stumbles on a body of a woman and from there things just get worse! History keeps repeated itself, and we keep resembling our ancestors in our attitudes, foibles and virtues.

So that a more 'honest' set may replace them, or it will incense you because some deeply held beliefs are attacked and challenged. Wylie’s analysis of the workings of Congress could as easily be talking about AOC, Elizabeth Warren and Lauren Boebert as any of the politicos of his day, when there were no women in Congress.

Not to mention BAMFs… Elbowing Lewis will never not be met with a sucker punch from Hathaway—and it makes me almost giddy that Laurence Fox manages to infuse even that with the dry wit and timing usually reserved for quips and snappy Shakespeare (and, of course, it’s brilliant editing, too, that shot). In this series Sarah Yarwood-Lovett has established a strong balance between the central murder mystery and the environmental case that Nell and her colleagues are addressing. They are at odds with the clever and intelligent competence of our main character, yet she keeps dragging her self down in those themes. As a radicalized college student in the late 60's, a creative writing instructor pointed this book out to me.

In 1968, Wylie began The End of the Dream, his first work of fiction to address humanity’s destruction of the natural environment. There’s a distinction between desiring someone and wanting to be desired, and making one’s entire life and experience dependent on it—as Susanna did, actually, enough to murder for it ruthlessly. Miranda Thornton, the dead professor, was known as the author of a book about how single women can thrive without men in their lives.

It was still the same culture then, (as it still is now in 2012) We are still a loose knit society, saying one thing. While the details of that blasphemous event may have remained unknown until the end of the War, people did know basicly what was going on. Although it’s set during the Trojan War, the play’s message about the futility of war resonates with contemporary audiences.
