Buckingham Palace Gardens - Anne Perry

Partying at the Palace (ish)

Advantages: Comfortable, clean, good staff
Disadvantages: A few faults, doesnt live up to expectations

This review is about my Christmas party experience at the Strand Palace Hotel. This year, I was in charge of organising our office Christmas party, and, being based in South East London, the department tends to head to Bromley or Greenwich for a meal. But this year we decided to go all out, and go 'up west', and so I came across the Strand Palace hotel on my googlequest and we decided to go posh as well. The booking process was slightly tiresome, seeing as the particular member of staff we made our booking through was somewhat challenged in the brains department. The initial booking process was easy.

There were no really unfavourable comments about this resort and the vast majority were really positive so I chose this place on that basis. The holiday was a package including flights from East Midlands and transfers from Heraklion to the resort. In this ...

A Mystery in Dickension London

Advantages: Well written, good settings and characters
Disadvantages: Not a lot

THE SILENT CRY By Anne Perry Before I begin to review the book 'The Silent Cry', I must tell you about the author, Anne Perry, as the story of her life warrants a book in its own right. ANNE PERRY Anne Perry was born Juliet Marion Hulme in London on 28 October 1938. She is a writer of historical detective fiction, as well as being a convicted murderer. Aged 13, she moved to New Zealand with her parents. When she was 16 her parents were in the middle of a seperation, Hulme and her school friend Pauline Parker, had become inseperable; they planned on killing Parker's mother so that the two girls could return to London with Hulme's father after the divorce. On 22 June 1954, the girls killed Honora Rieper in a park at Christchurch with a frenzied attack of 45 blows. The girls were ...
