ABOUT THE SERIESThe Rafferty and Llewellyn mystery series features working-class lapsed Catholic Detective Inspector Joe Rafferty who comes from a family who think - if they must have a policeman in the family - that he might at least have the decency to be a bent one. Even his Ma, Kitty Rafferty is not averse to illicit bargains and some of his siblings seem to positively stumble into crime. Given all this, Rafferty's career seems more flotsam and jetsam than solid and Dafyd Llewellyn, his high moral tone partner, only adds to the angst. And when you add murder to the brew... Blurb of Death Line Jasper Moon, internationally renowned ‘seer to the stars’, had signally failed to foresee his own future. He is found dead on his consulting-room floor, his skull crushed with a crystal ball and, all, around him, his office in chaos. Meanwhile, Ma Rafferty does some star-gazing of her own and is sure she can predict Detective Inspector Joe Rafferty’s future – by the simple expedient of organizing it herself. She is still engaged on her crusade to get Rafferty married off to a good Catholic girl with child-bearing hips. But Rafferty has a cunning plan to sabotage her machinations. Only trouble is, he needs Sergeant Llewellyn’s cooperation and he isn’t sure he’s going to get it. During their murder investigations, Inspector Rafferty and Sergeant Llewellyn discover a highly incriminating video concealed in Moon’s flat, a video which, if made public, could wreck more than one life. Was the famous astrologer really a vicious sexual predator? Gradually, connections begin to emerge between Moon and others in the small Essex town of Elmhurst. But how is Rafferty to solve the case when all of his suspects have seemingly unbreakable alibis? REVIEWS FOR DEATH LINE‘The detectives brilliantly complement and oppose each other. For those who love Sherlock Holmes-style mysteries, you’ll likely adore Evans’ style, humor and method of detection. A wonderful cozy, rainy-night read rich with interesting characters that all appear guilty and innocent. At every turn you’ll think you know who the killer is, but the true identity and motive won’t come until the end. The reveal is not far-fetched or deceptive – it was there all along and it works perfectly.’Review by Charlie Courtland of Bitsy Bling Books http://bitsybling.blogspot.com/2011/03/death-line-curl-up-with-cozy-mystery ‘Ms Evans writes with a nice, tongue-in-cheek style and in her policemen has created an attractive pair of sleuths. Recommended.’MICHAEL PAINTER, THE IRISH TIMES, ON DEATH LINE I love English detectives and the team of Rafferty and Llewellyn is no exception. Evans has created a pair that works well together without one over shadowing the other in any way. I love that. I cannot help but compare Evans to Sir Author Conan Doyle, her style is similar although her wit is not as dry, which is another plus in my book. I also liked that Rafferty and Llewellyn recognize and catch the flaws in one another that are sometimes over looked in other novels. In my opinion Geraldine Evans will soon be one of those must read authors whose books sell out in minutes.Rita ReviewsRita's Rating: Five Stars ‘One of the best crime plots for devotees is written in the stars in Geraldine Evans’s DEATH LINE.’PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH ‘Really enjoyed this book. I just finished it a few minutes ago and I was so excited to post my review because this is now one of my favorite books. Definitely one I will be reading again at some point. This one was another book I couldn't put down.From the AuthorI've long been interested in New Age subjects (palmistry, astrology etc), so I thought it would be fun to set one of my Rafferty & Llewellyn series around a murder set in such a 'Seer's' consulting rooms. I hope my readers find it interesting, and learn a little about this fascinating subject. About the AuthorGeraldine Evans is a traditional author turned indie. After a traditional publishing career spanning eighteen novels and oh-so-many years, she decided, being a bit of a control freak, that it would be great to be in charge of her own destiny. Earning more of a fair share of the sale proceeds of her books being another plus. She took the plunge in 2010; the best decision she ever made. Geraldine is a Londoner who has lived in Norfolk (UK) since 2000. Interests include painting not very good portraits of the coerced, trying her hand at 'God-like' creation in the greenhouse, and annoying the neighbours with her amateurish keyboard playing.

The world’s discrimination and violence against women and girls is the most serious, pervasive, and ignored violation of basic human rights: This is President Jimmy Carter’s call to action. President Carter was encouraged to write this book by a wide coalition of leaders of all faiths. His urgent report covers a system of discrimination that extends to every nation. Women are deprived of equal opportunity in wealthier nations and “owned” by men in others, forced to suffer servitude, child marriage, and genital cutting. The most vulnerable, along with their children, are trapped in war and violence. A Call to Action addresses the suffering inflicted upon women by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare. Key verses are often omitted or quoted out of context by male religious leaders to exalt the status of men and exclude women. And in nations that accept or even glorify violence, this perceived inequality becomes the basis for abuse. President Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, have visited 145 countries, and The Carter Center has had active projects in more than half of them. Around the world, they have seen inequality rising rapidly with each passing decade. This is true in both rich and poor countries, and among the citizens within them. Carter draws upon his own experiences and the testimony of courageous women from all regions and all major religions to demonstrate that women around the world, more than half of all human beings, are being denied equal rights. This is an informed and passionate charge about a devastating effect on economic prosperity and unconscionable human suffering. It affects us all. Views: 40
