|summary=When Lady Tyburn rescued Police Officer Peter Grant she put him in her debt. Now it's payback time as her daughter is implicated in a murder. Is this just another drug related killing? No, Peter is only involved in crime related to the supernatural side of life and since both Lady Ty and daughter are river goddesses, there's much to investigate.

|summary=Alan Bennett's prose collections have been something to look forward to for years. They're a collection of excerpts from his diaries plus prose pieces of various lengths. I read ''Writing Home'' soon after publication - it was a Christmas present and I enjoyed it greatly, but it wasn't until I was deep into [[Untold Stories by Alan Bennett|Untold Stories]] that I realised the extent to which Bennett had been less than frank in ''Writing Home''. Bennett wrote ''Untold Stories'' in the knowledge that he had cancer and had only an even chance of survival: he assumed that his executors would make the decision as to what should be published. What ''was'' published - and by Bennett - was more open than the earlier work. ''Keeping On Keeping On'' follows and extends that trend.
