The second story line is the continuing saga of Grace’s missing wife, Sandy. After all these years, he has had her declared legally dead so that he can marry Cleo, the mother of his infant son.

You just know this is not going to turn out well. It does not, and with yet another twist, the story is not quite finished. (We should know that after ten books!)

The books had started to feel too similar, with the some bland characters (some of whom have irritated me for some time - e.g. Norman Potter and Bella Moy) and storylines that felt mundane and unchallenging.

So I think I knew from the start it was a mistake to attempt one more episode. No, Peter James' new book is not his best creation ever. That's not to say I didn't enjoy reading it!

I mean, why did you receive so many blessings but I didn’t? Hearing stories like yours just makes people who are lonely feel even less adequate… It’s also possible (though this hasn’t been researched specifically) that risk factors for passive suicidal thoughts are similar to risk factors for suicide itself. These risk factors might include mental or physical pain, hopelessness, illness, stress, loss, trauma, poverty, unemployment, relationship problems, isolation, substance abuse or addiction, sleep disturbance, and more.This was the best most additive read I have had in a long time.

If you could kill me, I'd already be dead. But you can't. You can't kill me because Jesse wouldn't cook for you if you did. The windows that open for most people don’t lead to blessings, but often to deeper loss and pain. Many of us have been searching our entire lives for that window of blessings, and we never find it and it certainly never finds us. Blake's 7.

In the Ciaphas Cain novel Duty Calls, the Big Bad invites Cain to a meal and tells him not to worry about poison; if he was to be killed, it would have been done already with gunfire.

I was just ‘existing’. Probably feeling worthless and feeling entitled to whichever woman (or women) suited my fancy that night. The Orville: In " Domino", the Planetary Union uses a superweapon to compel the surrender of the Kaylon. Captain Mercer and Admiral Halsey both tell the paranoid Kaylon Primary flat-out that if the Union actually wanted the utter destruction of the Kaylon rather than just to end the war, they could have perfectly well fired the weapon in orbit of Kaylon Prime and killed them all.
