Kingston Ellis, that celebrated Shakespearean actor has retired to the coastal village of Grevillea on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. As a long dry summer comes to an end, the Galahs are trying to raise money for their Fire Brigade and Broderick Primary School by staging a debut production of Julius Caesar. Most of Grevillea has been co-opted. Kingston is to play the title role. Opening night is on the 15th March. However when Kingston is stabbed for real in the assassination scene when both cast and stagehands crowd around him, it's a real show-stopper.

In her compelling new murder/mystery, Goldie Alexander shows what can happen in a small Australian town when ordinary folk mix with the rich and famous. Those who enjoyed "UnJust Desserts" will delight in the return of some of their favourite characters and their taste buds will be thrilled with the inclusion of more fabulous recipes.
