CLARIDGE'S:Eating out on Christmas Day is never cheap, but if you've just won the lottery/a movie deal, there's always Christmas lunch at Claridge's. The Claridge's Restaurant serves up a six-course festive menu, whistling through choices including roast turkey breast with all the trimmings...
Sophie Kerr has the misfortune to be left with the chore of explaining those fingerprints, which she does in ten pages of near shaggy-dog tale telling by Glenda that serve more to achieve her word count goal than to facilitate a neat happy ending to the book. In sum, The Woman Accused ...
