GRANT-ADAMSON, LESLEY

Curse the Darkness

London, Faber & Faber. 1991. (ISBN: 0571141978) Soft cover. Book, The fifth mystery featuring Rain Morgan (after Guilty Knowledge ) is a highly original, satisfying tale. When Alf Wilson, an elderly screenwriter, "invites" his neighbors and gossip-columnist/sleuth Rain to discover his body hanging from his chandelier, it is an invitation for Rain to investigate whether the situation is a case of murder or not. In the meantime, novelist John Gower--whose success is thus far measured in positive reviews rather than in money--stages his own death in order to win publicity for his work. Unfortunately for Gower, the scheme works too well. While Gower's estranged wife and his agent reap the rewards, the author is left to hide in a remote cottage and later in an urban squatters' digs. He writes the masterpiece of his career, but finds himself leading a life increasingly similar to that of his own fictional main character. A mystery on two levels, with Rain's pursuit of the truth running parallel to the action in the false disappearance, the novel also examines the writing life as experienced by a journalist, a screenwriter and a novelist. A smashing conclusion brings Rain and Gower together in dangerous circumstances. Fine.

Andrew Grant-Adamson and Lesley Grant-Adamson

A Season in Spain

Pavilion 1995 Hardback, 218pp. This is Lesley and Andrew Grant-Adamson's account of the time they lived in the Alpujarra region of Spain between Granada and the Mediterranean. Through their personal experiences, the Grant-Adamsons were drawn into the customs, traditions and economic issues affecting life in the Alpujarra. They recount the reaction of the locals to the arrival into their rural community of an inexperienced English couple, the crises and triumphs that accompanied the olive harvest, the colour and pageantry of local fiestas, and the constant problems of drought and dry rivers. This is the rocky world where to Moors settle when they were chased out of Granada five hundred years ago. They are very much in evidence, especially in the clusers of flat rofed houses that might be taken for villages in North Africa: and in the irrigation system that waters the terraces. Out oive grow was on the fertile river plane of the Guadalfeo, twenty miles from Granada as the eagle flies and twelve miles from the Mediterranian. (ISBN: 9781857933055). Good.
