Title: Look Who's Walking!: Description:
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the nursery... Things were bad enough in the first twelve months - surely they couoldn't get any worse? Now, the Little Sod - whose hilarious first-year memoirs had parentseverywhere groaning with recognition - is back to tell us what really happens in the second year of a baby's life.

Title: Body On The Beach (a Fethering Mystery): Description:
Very little disturbs the ordered calm of Fethering, a pleasingly self-contained retirement on England's southern coast. Which is precisely why Carole Seddon, who has outlived both her husband and her career at the Home Office, has chosen to reside there. So the last thing Carole expects to encounter in Fethering is a new neighbour with but one name and an obviously colourful past. 'Jude' was not really Fethering... but neither was the body Carole found on the beach. A body, it has to be said, that has disappeared by the time the police arrive. Only Jude is ready to believe what her neighbour says she saw - and from that moment on, the two women are resolved to turn detectives.
