Charlene, the 'heroine' of this piece is extremely hard for some people to like, characters Lowe and readers both. Kicked out of multiple homes and schools, she's fostering with a pleasant yoga tutor, Annie, and has taken up residence in her son Blake's old room while he's Le Breton Mysteries - Death at uni. Such a tempestuous personality may be in need of a comfort blanket, you might perhaps think, and the creation of one such item is part of the plot here, as Charlene is a wonder knitter, and is making something full of love for her younger sister – a younger sister she's allowed contact with no more. We see Charlene prove her belligerence with a store detective, and then force people to give her two days off school, when she shouts someone down as expletively ignorant. And then... well, what exactly happens is not for me to say, only to remark how sharp and pointy those knitting needles can be...|isbn=1800901011}} =='''12 MAY'''=={{Frontpage|isbn=1398507504|title=Cold Reckoning|author=Russ ThomasDress Rehearsal|rating=43.5
