![]() ![]() ![]() Between free-spirited artist Tasha, chatty empty nester Beverly, retired therapist Eleanor, and herself, Vera has hopes that Christmas for the Albright family will be merry, after all-and she may find herself a new family of friends along the way. Vera will have to get a ragtag group of women together in order to fulfill the request. With her mother seriously ill and her father out of town, Fiona enlists Vera's help, and when she finds out her new neighbor is a quilter, she has a special request-a Christmas quilt for Mama. Widowed and recently relocated, she is lonely in her condo-for-one-until little Fiona Albright knocks on her door needing help. But for Vera Swanson, that's not an option this year. Up for my "True to Life Fiction" Newsletter.Ĭhristmas should be celebrated with family. ![]() ![]() ![]() French herself doesn't play by the rules, and the prime rule of crime fiction, no matter how grisly, cynical or edgy, is that the plot begins with a disruption of order (the crime itself) and ends with the restoration of it, albeit in some slightly battered form. He's the guy Raymond Chandler was talking about when he wrote, "Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid."įrank, however, is in a Tana French novel, an environment that makes Philip Marlowe's L.A. In other words, Frank looks like one of crime fiction's stock crusader types (although, thank god, he hasn't got a murdered family to avenge, the cheapest, tiredest device in the TV screenwriter's toolbox). But then there's Holly, his 9-year-old daughter, the one unsullied thing in his life he'd do anything to protect her from the ugliness he's witnessed. He Gets the Job Done, Whatever the Cost, and his obsession with this has left him with a broken marriage under his belt. He Doesn't Play by the Rules, which means that he's always ticking off The Brass, and, yes, he's something of a hothead, but that's because he can't stand the politics, and justice is so hard to come by for the innocent victims of this dirty world. He's a police detective, in Dublin, and he's street-, rather than book-smart. You've met him many, many times before, in hundreds of films and TV series and in dozens of crime novels. ![]() ![]()
