![]() ![]() So, Jules knows that the setting for their wedding must be special, unique and unforgettable. Will Slater and Julia/Jules Keegan are a golden couple, rising stars in their respective worlds of television and magazine publishing. The Guest List by Lucy Foley is an outstanding addition to the locked room/remote island collection. And, now I have another favorite in this remote island setting where once again the secrets the guests carry lead to murder. ![]() More recently, Rachel Howzell Hall’s gripping They All Fall Down presented an island of select invitees to a gathering of deadly consequences. Of course, the most well-known isolated island mystery is Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, a story that gets chilling fast. I am a big fan of the locked room mystery scenario, which extends itself to the isolated island mystery. ![]()

That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. The grown-ups’ response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. They always need to have things explained. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.īut they answered: Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat? And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion. In the book it said: Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest. ![]() ![]() ![]() D E G R E E NU E D G HO E S S T E RG St-Hubert UW BO R.

Jesse Armstrong dangled the possibility of either scenario in front of our noses many times throughout the final season, which made for a fetching distraction and a whole lot of empty betting about who would "win" the twisted competition to inherit Daddy's company Waystar Royco.
