The Champ & The Chump - James Mcnicholas - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

**Winner of Best Sports Entertainment book at the British Sports Book Awards 2022** ''Hard-hitting and hilarious'' - James Acaster ''Funny, moving and compelling'' - Mike CostelloA heart-warming, hilarious true story about fighting and family, based on the acclaimed stage show. For fans of books by Dave Gorman, James Acaster and Danny Wallace, along with boxing tales from the likes of Tyson Fury and Ricky Hatton. THE CHAMP Terry Downes - the charismatic cockney known as ''The Paddington Express'' - was a world champion boxer, US Marine, gangsters'' favourite and later a film star and businessman. THE CHUMP James McNicholas'' PE teacher once told him he was so unfit he''d be dead by the time he was 23. James has spent his life pursuing a career in acting and comedy. In reality, that has meant stints as a car park caretaker and river cruise salesperson. After Terry''s death, James finds himself in reflective mood, comparing his story of underachievement against that of his world champ grandad. What follows is an increasingly colourful journey through post-war Paddington to the blood-soaked canvases of Baltimore and Shoreditch, via Mayfair parties with the Krays. Along the way, James begins to dig into his own story, confronting the dysfunctional elements of his childhood, describing his often hilarious efforts to make it in the world of showbiz, and attempting to recreate Terry''s trials by enlisting in a brutal military boot camp and boxing gym. When James is diagnosed with a frightening and mysterious neurological condition, the two tales of the fighter and the writer suddenly collide, and what began as a nostalgic journey takes on a far more important significance altogether. ''A wonderfully funny and heartfelt story of what family and lineage means. Even made me like boxing'' - Josh Widdicombe ''An extraordinary family history, told with warmth and wit. Two remarkable underdog stories - come for the cockney scrapper who conquered the world, stay for the grandson and the fight of his life'' - Greg Jenner ''If you like comedy and boxing this is the perfect book. James McNicholas is a very funny man and a brilliant writer'' - Rob Beckett

A Season for Murder (Mitchell & Markby 2) - Ann Granger - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The Boxing Day Hunt leads to a hunt for a killer... A Season for Murder is the second cosy and colourful English village mystery in Ann Granger''s Mitchell & Markby series. This thrilling whodunit will enthral fans of Colin Dexter, Agatha Christie and ITV''s Midsomer Murders . ''A good feel for understated humour, a nice ear for dialogue'' The Times It is with some trepidation that Meredith Mitchell returns to the Cotswolds: the Bamford district holds memories that, to put it generously, are bittersweet, and Christmas is a difficult time to find oneself a stranger in a new area. Yet she receives a kindly welcome, in particular from her old acquaintance Chief Inspector Markby and from her new neighbour Harriet Needham, a striking redhead with whom Meredith immediately feels a certain kinship. But Meredith has barely got to know her neighbour when Harriet is involved in a shocking - and fatal - accident at the Boxing Day Hunt. Witnesses to the death are plentiful, for the incident occurred in Bamford''s crowded market square, and many are adamant it''s a case of murder. Chief Inspector Markby is inclined to agree, although he suspects the guilty party is not the most obvious one. Before long Meredith Mitchell begins, reluctantly, to think he might be right ... What readers are saying about A Season for Murder : ''The writing is witty and engaging , the characters are well rounded and the reader is left wanting to know more about what might happen in the future to them''''The interplay between Mitchell and Markby and the clashes and stresses of their own lives nicely balances the intelligent plots ''''Really addictive . Very cleverly woven ''
