  • DOUBLE LOVE: TO CATCH A THIEF PART TWO
    Apr 9 2026
    Alas, our hopes for some Frank Cobra level excitement in the second half of this book were not realised, as most of it consists of Jessica being unbearable, Jacques acting like a prize fool, Laurent being a spineless embarrassment and Liz running away crying. Only the constantly shrieking Countess di Rimini and her total disregard for the laws of France bring the drama, and boy does she leave the best until last - yes, it may have been (insanely) spoilered in the book, and yes, we may have to wait until the very end of the book to see it happen, but we do get the see the Wakefield twins where they belong - chained to the walls of a medieval dungeon!

  • DOUBLE LOVE: TO CATCH A THIEF PART ONE
    Mar 26 2026
    We're back at the Château, where both twins feel like they've found their happily ever afters with handsome Frenchmen (is Laurent actually French or is he a citizen of the unnamed principality? Unclear). But there's trouble in paradise. Jessica's dreams of being accepted by her royal bosses as the girlfriend of the heir to the Norveaux dukedom are shattered when Jacques spins her a preposterous yarn about ancient feuds, while Liz's initially fairy tale romance with Prince Laurent takes a turn when his parents give him a preposterous ultimatum. This book is full of tedious banter, annoying children and a shameful retconning of the previously charming Louis and Jacques but don't lose hope - the blurb promises us that the twins will end up imprisoned in a dungeon in part two!

  • PI BETA ALPHA: CAITLIN LOVING PART TWO
    Mar 19 2026
    As Anna is feeling under the weather this week, unfortunately we don't have a new episode for you. However, here is a taste of the bonus podcast with our second episode of the Caitlin series. We hope you enjoy! If you want to listen to the full series become a member at headstuffpodcasts.com/membership. We're back at Highgate Academy, where Caitlin Ryan continues to be (a) absolutely unhinged and (b) as subtle as a brick. Her scheme to woo rootin' tootin' newcomer Jed hits a snag in the form of "mousy" scholarship girl Diana, whose very presence is judged "disgusting" by our raven haired antiheroine. Jed inexplicably seems to prefer Diana's company to the psychotic Caitlin's - but Caitlin won't accept defeat that easily... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
