Černé ovce a beránek boží


Kdo je bez viny, ať hodí kamenem Rok 1976, Anglie. Paní Creasyová zmizela a celá Ulice si šušká. Sousedé viní z jejího náhlého zmizení vlnu veder, ale desetiletá Grace s kamarádkou Tilly o tom nejsou tak docela přesvědčené. Léto pálí čím dál víc a dívky se rozhodnou vzít záležitost do vlastních rukou. Inspirovány místním vikářem začnou hledat Boha. Věří totiž, že když najdou jeho, mohly by najít i paní Creasyovou a přivést ji zpátky domů. Kurážná Grace spolu s hloubavou Tilly chodí od domu k domu a pátrají po indiciích. Slepá ulice postupně vydává svá tajemství a malé detektivky odhalí mnohem více, než si představovaly. Začíná se rozplétat komplikovaná historie lží a klamů. Každý v Ulici se snaží skrývat to, čím nezapadá. Uhlídat své zvláštnosti před ostatními je ale v dusivém letním parnu téměř nemožné. Trávníky usychají, chodníky se roztékají a životy sousedů se začínají obnažovat. Dívky si neuvědomují, že stejná tajemství rozplétala před svým zmizením i paní Creasyová.

A Tidy Ending


A Nice, Normal House Linda has lived around here ever since she fled the dark events of her childhood in Wales. Now she sits in her kitchen, wondering if this is all there is - pushing the Hoover round and cooking fish fingers for tea is a far cry from the glamorous lifestyle she sees in the glossy catalogues coming through the door for the house's previous occupant. A Nice, Normal Husband Terry isn't perfect - he picks his teeth, tracks dirt through the house and spends most of his time in front of the TV. But that seems fairly standard - until he starts keeping odd hours at work, at around the same time young women start to go missing in the neighbourhood. A Nice, Normal Life... If Linda could just track down Rebecca, who lived in the house before them, maybe some of that perfection would rub off on her. But the grass isn't always greener: you can't change who you really are, and there's something nasty lurking behind the net curtains on Cavendish Avenue...
