Have a little faith / The Reverend Kate Bottley.

As a vicar, Kate is often greeted with the phrase 'I'm not religious, but I love that hymn', or 'I want a church wedding', but the truth is, having faith isn't an all-or-nothing situation and we all deserve to enjoy the parts that bring us comfort. In this book, Kate reveals the surprising truth about what faith means to her and how, ultimately, it can make us all happy. Kate is not your average vicar, in fact, she says herself that believing in the resurrection is 'a bit bonkers' so, whether you believe in God, the universe's plan or simply the goodness of humanity, Kate argues that having belief equals having hope, and we all deserve to feel hopeful. With chapters about what she's learned about life's challenges, including love, death, loneliness and conflict, along with simple tips for us all to find more joy in our everyday lives.

Dancers in Mourning [electronic resource]

Albert Campion offers to poke around, but what he finds chez Sutane nearly overwhelms him. The far-from traditional household features a clutch of explosive egos, including a brooding 'genius musician,' and a melodramatic young actress who seems to delight in drawing others into her web of carefully groomed tragedy. Someone here is aiming to hang up Sutane's tap shoes on a permanent basis, and if Campion is to keep Jimmy dancing, he'll have to come up with some pretty fancy footwork of his own.Margery Allingham was born in London in 1904. Her first novel was published when she was seventeen. In 1929 she published The Crime at Black Dudley and introduced the character who was to become the hallmark of her writing - Albert Campion.
