Description

Miss Marple is portrayed as a friend of Bobby's Mother (Bobby's father does not appear) and joins the investigation masquerading as Frankie's governess.

The name of the novel's hero – Bobby Jones – is the same as that of the American golfer who was at the height of his fame at the time of publication. The first chapter introduces "Bobby Jones" playing golf; when his stroke scuds disappointingly along the ground, the narrative explains this Bobby is not the American master.

Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields is the latest two-part docuseries from Lana Wilson ( After Tiller; Miss Americana). As much as it’s about Shields (the child actor-model; her alcoholic “momager”, Teri; her rape as a young woman after a work-meeting dinner; her first marriage, to tennis player Andre Agassi), it’s also about the late 20th-century culture that simultaneously celebrated, chastised and objectified her.

In the introduction of Agatha Christie's book Passenger to Frankfurt (Dodd, Mead hardcover, 1970) she gives examples of how she has come up with ideas for her books. Included is this explanation: "You go to tea with a friend. As you arrive, her brother closes a book he is reading – throws it aside, says: 'Not bad, but why on earth didn't they ask Evans?' So you decide immediately a book of yours shortly to be written will bear the title, Why Didn't They Ask Evans? You don't know yet who Evans is going to be. Never mind. Evans will come in due course – the title is fixed." Cooper, John; Pike, B A (1994). Detective Fiction: The Collector's Guide (2nded.). Aldershot: Scolar Press. pp.82, 86. ISBN 0-85967-991-8.
