About the Book From award-winning British author Holly Bourne comes a clever, deconstructed rom-com that proves that in real life "girl meets boy" doesn't always mean "happily ever after". ![]() ![]() Only thirty-two at the time of its writing, Faulkner composed the novel in eight weeks (six by his accounting) while working nights at the University of Mississippi’s power plant, deciding in advance that he would stake his entire reputation as a writer on the book: “Before I ever put pen to paper and set down the first words, I knew what the last word would be… Before I began I said, I am going to write a book by which, at a pinch, I can stand or fall if I never touch ink again.” His passionate conviction is evident in the original manuscript-the first and only draft-which reveals “an ease in creation unlike his other novels.” ![]() Like the Shakespearean title of that work, As I Lay Dying’s title, which comes from Homer’s Odyssey, indicates the literary ambitions of its author. ![]() William Faulkner wrote his seventh novel As I Lay Dying in the last months of 1929, almost immediately after another stream-of-consciousness masterpiece, The Sound and the Fury. ![]() ![]() ![]() But is Nell's arrival at the Villas really the coincidence it seems?

In contrast,One Step Behind feels like a decidedly more intimate affair. Firewall was a more conventional thriller, as the investigation into a seemingly random murder led to the discover of a far more sinister and far-reaching conspiracy. ![]() Sidetracked presented a brutal exploration of the dark underside of Swedish culture, calling to mind the classy and overwhelming uneasy of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, albeit with fewer former Nazis. While the stories do cover quite similar thematic ground, and there’s an obvious tonal overlap, there’s enough variety in the three episodes that none of them ever become stale or boring. The fact that it doesn’t rigidly adhere to a particular plot formula helps each adventure to feel like a movie that happens to star the same character. I think that adds to the appeal of the detective series. In fairness, the first three adaptations where a fairly eclectic mix, and the show hasn’t quite settled into a familiar pattern. ![]() ![]() The last thing she should do is trust him or the genuineness of his lust or adoration, but his touch ignites an unexpected desire. ![]() Her sexy-as-hell pretend husband makes it too easy to play the part of newlyweds.
