Posted on Mon, 24 Feb 2020

An interesting and absorbing little crime thriller in verse, Niamh. I found myself following the clues wanting to know what was stolen. I enjoyed the unusual format.

Rachel, this must be the apotheosis of your poetry; it can't be surpassed, surely. But, having followed your work closely, I'm certain you are going to prove me wrong. Not only is your use of the language exquisite, your knowledge of Greek...

Hi Di. Talking of cats going missing, prior to Toby I used to have another black and white cat called, what else but Whisky. We had a very long garden which faced a big field and I built a path on which he slowly trundled to the fence at the end...
