A SLOWLY DYING CAUSE

by Inspector Beatrice Hannaford, with Lynley and Havers not turning up until 120\u002Dodd pages in, and with a handy excuse for heading to Cornwall: Lynley, it turns out, is heir to a crumbling estate there, “the country pile that accompanied the cringe\u002Dworthy title he’d inherited from his father.” The fuzz put their heads together to sort out poor Lobb’s situation, and, as ever, the solution emerges in a perp who’s been there all along but has been overlooked. The book is, also as ever, too long by a quarter, but it’s got plenty of intriguing twists and turns that will leave the reader guessing."

Our Review

This powerful memoir offers an unflinching look at the realities of activism and social justice work through the eyes of a young person discovering their voice. The narrative captures both the passion and the profound challenges of fighting for change in a world that often resists it, blending personal reflection with broader societal commentary. Readers will find themselves immersed in the emotional journey of commitment and disillusionment that defines modern advocacy.

What sets this work apart is its raw honesty about the psychological toll of activism—the burnout, the setbacks, and the quiet moments of doubt that accompany public conviction. Teen readers navigating their own social awareness will find validation in these pages, while parents will appreciate the thoughtful exploration of resilience and purpose. This isn't just a story about fighting for change; it's an essential meditation on what it means to sustain hope when the cause feels overwhelming.
