After the Silence: a twisty page-turner of deadly secrets and an unsolved murder investigation

Product Information

First-aid facilities, provided by St John Ambulance, will be available at various locations along Whitehall. If that were it, if this book were just a portrayal of a woman being gaslit and manipulated by her husband in the decade following a murder, then the book would be good. But what makes this book sublime is how O’Neill connects the dots for us between Henry’s behaviour and our patriarchal society. Please be aware that stations close to the service and surrounding areas will likely be busy before and after the service times. Photography is permitted, but the Metropolitan Police have powers to remove obstacles such as camera tripods where they obstruct public access or views. Spectators should not take photographs during the two-­minute silence when shutter noises can offend. This book was gripping and good. The narration shifts between the events leading up to the party, and the present day where the crew consisting of Noah and Jake interview the Kinsellas and other people involved. While the narration itself was good, I hope there was more clarity in the timeline of events.

Durham, NC: Duke University Press. During the First World War, poppies began to grow in abundance in the blasted and bombed land of the Western Front. The presence of these resilient flowers became a symbol of hope to many soldiers as they watched them flourish among the chaos and destruction. Hopefully the description of the book is enough, but in case it isn’t, seriously, massive trigger warnings for partner abuse, gaslighting, controlling and manipulative behaviour, murder, etc. I struggled with this at times, and I have never had a romantic relationship, let alone a toxic or abusive one—I can only imagine how triggering this book would be for some people who have, and you should really, really think hard about whether you want to expose yourself to that before you read this.I think there is room to read Henry’s behaviour in two ways. On the one hand, he knows exactly what he is doing: he is the mastermind, the manipulator, cunningly controlling his wife for his own ends. On the other hand, I prefer the idea that Henry is somewhat oblivious to the harm in his behaviour—that is to say, he is not naive and he knows that he is good at manipulating people, but he genuinely believes that this is what love is. We see this throughout the book. He uses all the right phrases, condemns obvious incidents of sexism, tells Keelin she needs to listen to him “express his feelings” because isn’t communication important in a relationship? Henry is the epitome of the woke misogynist.

How else do the Royal Family mark Remembrance?

Remembrance in the UK today is very different than it was 100 years ago, but the poppy remains a humble, poignant symbol of Remembrance and hope. Space will be available for wheelchair users and other spectators who might find it difficult to view from the general public areas. This area is located on the west side of Parliament Street, close to the junction with King Charles Street. Space in this enclosure will be offered on a first-come, first-serve, basis. One carer or guest per person will also be admitted and a toilet for those with accessibility needs will be available nearby.
