Crafty Adventures Watercolors are still keeping my creative attention. Loving it! Knitting in Passing On a July 3 MBTA ferry commute, I sat with a crocheter. We talked about our projects and fav LYSs. I showed her how simple magic loop knitting is. Laura brought socks to her client David when she got back to NY. He sent me a photo asking if they were Cashmere because they were so soft and noting how great they looked with the pants he had on. Then I got a pic of his foot under his desk at work the next day. (Ravelry Project Page) On July 7, a man chatted with me on the Red Line about memories of his mother, sisters and daughters crocheting. Emelyn has been wanting to crochet again but is feeling rusty. On July 4th I reminded them how to single & half-double crochet. Last weekend, they started a star project so we worked with DC and how to work corners and getting used to reading a pattern.

Join host Victoria Carthew as she speaks with multi-million-copy international bestseller Lisa Jewell about her newest title, "Don't Let Him In". He's the perfect man. He says he loves you. You think he might even be made for you. Before long he's moved into your house - and into your heart. And then he leaves for days at a time. You don't know where he's gone or who he's with. And you realise - if you looked back - you'd say to yourself - DON'T LET HIM IN.Purchase “Don't Let Him In” from your local QBD Books store or online today: https://www.qbd.com.au/dont-let-him-in/lisa-jewell/9781529196023/Follow along with QBD Books here: QBD Books on Facebook: www.facebook.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on Instagram: www.instagram.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@qbdbooksaustralia
Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell. She's a terrific writer of domestic thrillers, and this is about Nina who's mourning the death of her husband, Paddy, after he fell under a train. A year on she receives a gift and a note in the mail from a man who knew Paddy and is sending condolences – which develop into an ongoing relationship, but Nina's daughter is deeply suspicious of this newcomer and starts digging around. Meanwhile, Martha lives in a nearby town where she runs a florist shop and has a baby, and a husband who travels extensively for work and spends long periods of time away from home. As these characters all connect, things turn explosive. We Are All Guilty Here by Karin Slaughter. She's best known for the series she wrote with the characters Sara Linton and Will Trent, but this is the start of a brand new series set in a small town in the state of Georgia where there are secrets and lies a plenty. Emmy Clifton is the Deputy Sheriff who starts an investigation when two teenage girls disappear from a 4th of July fireworks display. Karin Slaughter writes great thrillers – there's plenty of misdirection and twists and turns, all while reminding us that even small towns can house a lot of darkness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell He's the perfect man. It's a perfect lie. Nina Swann is intrigued when she received a condolence card from Nick Radcliffe, an old friend of her late husband, who is looking to connect after her husband's unexpected death. Nick is a man of substance and good taste. He has a smile that could melt the coldest heart and a knack for putting others at ease. But to Nina's adult daughter, Ash, Nick seems too slick, too polished, too good to be true. Without telling her mother, Ash begins digging into Nick's past. What she finds is more than unsettling… Martha is a florist living in a neighboring town with her infant daughter and her devoted husband, Alistair. But lately, Alistair has been traveling more and more frequently for work, disappearing for days at a time. When Martha questions him about his frequent absences, he always has a legitimate explanation, but Martha can't share the feeling that something isn't right. Nina, Martha, and Ash are on a collision course with a shocking truth that is far darker than anyone could have imagined. And all three are about to wish they had heeded the same warning: Don't let him in. But the past won't stay buried forever. The Phoenix Pencil Company by Alison King Monica Tsai spends most days on her computer, journaling the details of her ordinary life and coding for a program that seeks to connect strangers online. A self-proclaimed recluse, she's always struggled to make friends and, as a college freshman, finds herself escaping into a digital world, counting the days until she can return home to her beloved grandparents. They are now in their nineties, and Monica worries about them constantly—especially her grandmother, Yun, who survived two wars in China before coming to the States, and whose memory has begun to fade. Though Yun rarely speaks of her past, Monica is determined to find the long-lost cousin she was separated from years ago. One day, the very program Monica is helping to build connects her to a young woman, whose gift of a single pencil holds a surprising clue. Monica's discovery of a hidden family history is exquisitely braided with Yun's own memories as she writes of her years in Shanghai, working at the Phoenix Pencil Company. As WWII rages outside their door, Yun and her cousin, Meng, learn of a special power the women in their family possess: the ability to Reforge a pencil's words. But when the government uncovers their secret, they are forced into a life of espionage, betraying other people's stories to survive. Combining the cross-generational family saga and epistolary form of A Tale for the Time Being with the uplifting, emotional magic of The Midnight Library, Allison King's stunning debut novel asks: who owns and inherits our stories? The answers and secrets that surface on the page may have the unerasable power to reconnect a family and restore a legacy. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lisa's second child, Angellyn, was born prematurely and in a medically fragile state. Mishelle and her aunt Sabrina recount a troubling pattern: just as Angellyn would be cleared for hospital discharge, doctors would abruptly reverse course, warning that she might not survive the night. Andrea speaks to a nurse, “Judy”, who was working in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the time of Angellyn's hospitalizations. Judy walks us through the medical team's growing suspicions and their decision to install surveillance cameras in Angellyn's hospital room. The footage reveals deeply disturbing behavior by Lisa and Carey's utter compliance, prompting an investigation into the parents. Ultimately, custody of both Mishelle and Angellyn was revoked, and the children were placed with their maternal grandparents. *** Andrea's June 28th event with Lisa Jewell: https://townhallseattle.org/event/lisa-jewell/ Andrea's August 1st event with Gregg Olsen: https://www.libertybaybooks.com/event/west-sound-crime-con-2025-local-authors-gregg-olsen-and-andrea-dunlop Order Andrea's new book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.

This season on Nobody Should Believe Me, we tell the story of Lisa McDaniel, who crafted a public image as the Director of Patient Advocacy at the Guthy Jackson Foundation while concealing her conviction for child abuse more than a decade ago. We begin with an introduction to the McDaniel family: Lisa, her husband Carey, and their children—Mishelle, Angellyn, and Collin. While the unraveling of their family began when Collin was “diagnosed” with NMO (Neuromyelitis Optica), to understand the full story, we must go back to where it all began: Hazlehurst, Georgia. Andrea and our producer Myrriah travel with Mishelle–Lisa's courageous eldest daughter– to her mother's hometown, where they sit down with Lisa's younger sister, Sabrina. Sabrina recounts a childhood marked by emotional manipulation and physical abuse at the hands of her older sister. She walks us through Mishelle's early years, how, as a baby, she was often left with relatives for days at a time, and then through Lisa's troubled pregnancy with her second child, Angellyn. Stay tuned through the end of the episode for a preview of what's to come this season. *** Andrea's June 28th event with Lisa Jewell: https://townhallseattle.org/event/lisa-jewell/ Andrea's August 1st event with Gregg Olsen: https://www.libertybaybooks.com/event/west-sound-crime-con-2025-local-authors-gregg-olsen-and-andrea-dunlop Order Andrea's new book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.

Nie každý, kto je nezvestný, by mal byť nájdený. Lebo ak ho nájdu, všetko bude stratené. Dvadsaťdvaročná Olivia zmizla bez stopy. Naposledy ju zachytili pouličné kamery, ako vchádza do slepej uličky, odkiaľ sa už nevrátila. Detektívka Julia Dayová našla počas dvadsaťročnej praxe takmer každého nezvestného. Má bohaté skúsenosti so zúfalými rodinami zmiznutých, uvedomuje si neúprosne plynúci čas, ktorý vždy hrá proti nej... Jej povolanie si vyberá svoju daň, práca ju oberá o chvíle s dcérou a rozkladá jej manželstvo, no a to ešte netuší, ako veľmi do jej života zasiahne najnovší prípad nezvestnej Olivie. Únosca má totiž niečo, s čím nepočítala. Nie je to zbraň, je to tajomstvo. Jej najtemnejšie tajomstvo. Bezpečnosť Juliinej rodiny závisí od jedinej veci: nesmie zistiť, čo sa stalo s Oliviou – a navyše musí z jej vraždy obviniť niekoho iného. Pokiaľ by Oliviu predsa len našla, prišla by o všetko. Tento brilantný triler s nečakanými zvratmi od autorky bestsellera V nesprávnom čase na nesprávnom mieste prináša hlbokú sondu do presahov policajnej práce tém rodiny, materstva a ukazuje náročnosť rozhodnutí na hranici medzi správnou a nesprávnou voľbou. „Spletité a zložité, s nečakanými zvratmi... a postavami, ktorým naozaj fandíte.“ - Emily Henry, autorka bestsellerov „Gillian McAllister to opäť úplne trafila...

This week on Nobody Should Believe Me, Andrea and Dr. Bex dive further into the allegations against Dr. Paolo Bolognese, discussing the whistleblower complaint that exposed unnecessary medical treatments as well as sexual harassment accusations. They explore how deceptive marketing and the glamorization of medical authority can lead to real harm—especially for patients with complex or misunderstood conditions. *** Andrea's June 28th event with Lisa Jewell: https://townhallseattle.org/event/lisa-jewell/ Andrea's August 1st event with Gregg Olsen: https://www.libertybaybooks.com/event/west-sound-crime-con-2025-local-authors-gregg-olsen-and-andrea-dunlop Follow Dr. Bex on instagram: @secretdoctorbex Order Andrea's new book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.

The Waiting by Michael Connelly In cold cases, it's not the hope that kills you. It's the waiting. Renée Ballard and the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit get a hot shot DNA connection between a recently arrested man and a serial rapist and murderer who went quiet twenty years ago. The arrested man is only twenty-four, so the genetic link must be familial: His father was the Pillowcase Rapist, responsible for a five-year reign of terror in the city of angels. But when Ballard and her team move in on their suspect, they encounter a baffling web of secrets and legal hurdles. Meanwhile, Ballard's badge, gun, and ID are stolen—a theft she can't report without giving her enemies in the department ammunition to end her career as a detective. She works the burglary alone, but her mission draws her into unexpected danger. With no choice but to go outside the department for help, she knocks on the door of Harry Bosch. At the same time, Ballard takes on a new volunteer to the cold case unit: Bosch's daughter Maddie, now a patrol officer. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city's library of lost souls—a case that may be the most iconic in the city's history. The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell When a tragedy breaks a family apart, what can bring it back together? The Birds seem to be the perfect family: mother, father, four children, a picture-book cottage in the country. But one Easter weekend, something happens - something so unexpected, so devastating, that no one can bring themselves to talk about it. The family shatters, seemingly for good. Until, years later, they are forced to return to the house they grew up in, and to confront what really broke the family apart... LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this heart-pounding debut thriller for fans of Lisa Jewell and Celeste Ng, a first-generation Vietnamese American artist must confront nightmares past and present. . . .Annie “Anh Le” Shaw grew up poor, but seems to have it all now: a dream career, a stunning home, and a devoted husband and daughter. When Annie's mother, a Vietnam War refugee, dies suddenly one night, Annie's carefully curated life begins to unravel. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder, which she thought she'd vanquished years ago, comes roaring back—but this time, the disturbing fixations swirling around in Annie's brain might actually be coming true.A prominent art patron disappears, and the investigation zeroes in on Annie. Spiraling with self-doubt, she distances herself from her family and friends, only to wake up in a hotel room—naked, next to a lifeless body. The police have more questions, but with her mind increasingly fractured, Annie doesn't have answers. All she knows is this: She will do anything to protect her daughter—even if it means losing herself. With dizzying twists, You Know What You Did is both a harrowing thriller and a heartfelt exploration of the refugee experience, the legacies we leave for our children, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters.See LessSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

A new series was released this week on Netflix. It is called Man with 1,000 Kids, and Netflix is billing it as the true story of Jonathan Meijer, a man accused of travelling the world, deceiving women into having his babies - via sperm donation - on a mass scale. Nuala McGovern talks to Jonathan Meijer, the sperm donor, to mums Natalie and Suzanne, who had a baby conceived with Jonathan's donor sperm, to Natalie Hill, the executive producer who pitched the original idea for these films to Netflix and to Rachel Cutting, director of compliance and information at the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), the UK's independent regulator of fertility treatment.Gabby Logan joins Krupa Padhy to talk about her new book The Midpoint Plan. She's challenging the stereotype of middle age. With fewer insecurities, children leaving home and perhaps a bit more money in the bank, she believes we should see it as the best point in our lives. Plus, if we look after ourselves in midlife, we'll be happier in old age.Summer is here, which means it's wedding season, and brides-to-be across the country are asking themselves the eternal question: what do I wear for the occasion? Kathryn Wheeler, who married earlier this year, decided to do something that old superstitions advice against: make her own wedding dress. In the process, she learned much more than just sewing skills. She also learned a life lesson, to embrace imperfections.It's 25 year since the New York Times' best-selling author Lisa Jewell published her first novel, Ralph's Party. Since then she's written another twenty-one novels, and more recently a number of dark psychological thrillers, including Then She Was Gone, The Family Upstairs and the award winning None of This is True. She joins Krupa Padhy to discuss her latest work – Breaking the Dark – which is a Jessica Jones Marvel crime novel, exploring the world of the private detective and former superhero. By the time she was 19, Michelle De Swarte had gone from a council estate in London to the catwalks of Manhattan. Her twenties were a swirl of parties and high end glamour but by her thirties she was broke and in need - as she once put it - of a “new personality”. Desperate to find a way out of fashion, she reinvented herself as a stand-up comedian. Michelle De Swarte joins Nuala to talk about putting some of her own experiences into a new BBC comedy, Spent.Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Rebecca Myatt

Cette semaine j'ai fêté mes 10 ans d'entrepreneuriat et c'était l'occasion de réfléchir à tout ce que j'ai pu apprendre en 10 ans à la tête de mon entreprise : apprendre à dire non, poser des limites, ne pas vivre uniquement pour son business, savoir demander de l'aide, avoir sa propre définition du succès ... Que vous soyez entrepreuneur.e ou non, vous devriez retirer quelque chose de cet épisode ! La partie 2 arrive la semaine prochaine :) Bonne écoute !

Yes, it really has been 25 years since Ralph's Party was released! You are that old! Here to talk about that book, and all the brilliant ones she's written since, is best-selling author Lisa Jewell. She tells us about her writing process, and how she cured herself of imposter syndrome. Lisa shares her top tips for budding authors, and introduces us to our new favourite website, doesthedogdie.com. We talk discuss true crime, and why so many of us women like it so much. Then there's some chat about raising adolescents - Lisa reveals why her parenting style differs from her partner's, and offers some advice on getting through the teenage years. We finish with a Scummy Mummy Confession from Helen that leaves Lisa more horrified than any of the terrible things she's written about in her books. The sexy new anniversary edition of Ralph's Party is out on 23 May. The paperback of Lisa's latest thriller, None of This is True, is out now.

This episode was first published on April 14, 2022, and it's still one of our favorites. We return next week with a new episode covering No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. Enjoy! America's Most Wanted was a television show launched by a man who knew what it meant to lose a child forever, in the blink of an eye, to the hands of a monster. He took his pain and helped others find their missing children before it was too late. Today, we discuss how that man, Jon Walsh, lost his son and what we all can do to be a little safer in these streets. Then, on to our book... On the tenth anniversary of her youngest daughter's disappearance, one woman must choose to let go of her pain and reopen herself to life and love. After meeting a charming writer, who reminds her of her ex-husband, she begins a path that takes her somewhere she never imagined — to the truth about her daughter's disappearance a decade earlier. The woman's name? Laurel Mack. The book? Then She Was Gone: A Novel by Lisa Jewell LET'S GET LIT! Find Alexis and Kari online: Instagram — www.instagram.com/litsocietypod/; Twitter — twitter.com/litsocietypod; Facebook — www.facebook.com/LitSocietyPod/; and our website www.LitSocietyPod.com.

Dion Graham narrates this biography of playwright and poet August Wilson. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss how Graham excels at performing both as storyteller and actor, for this biography contains not only narrative but also passages from some of his plays. His rich voice carries the biography along nicely, but it is when he recites lines from plays such as FENCES and quotations from figures in Wilson's past that Graham really shines. The audiobook is an enlightening look at Wilson's life and the forces and people that shaped his plays. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

In the novel, this ancient Indigenous society lives on in the 1920s, seeming to flourish in its diversity. But when Barrow discovers a mutilated body, the community's facade of racial coexistence is exposed. Ingalls is the perfect guide for this complex world.
