Bloody Christmas
by Nneka Sophie Amalu
What Amanda thought was only possible in movies becomes real when five people vanish on Christmas day;it is definitely not history repeating itself in Pashville. Could Amanda and the rest of her friends escape from this vanishing spree? Not when there's an angry guy turned serial killer whom she broke up with a month ago decides to have fun all by himself.Faced with the daunting task of providing a monthly information article for the local Neighbourhood Watch newsletter, Ken created the character of Ben (B.Urglar), to convey "advice" on security (or the lack of it!) in a humorous way. In these short, diary-style reports, Ben boasts of his traditional "skills", bemoans new technology and shows a mature understanding of human behaviour. The twenty-eight entries, combined into a volume, provides quick bites of insight on the simple mistakes we can make in our busy lives to make the life of a burglar an easy one. This is all couched in a tongue-in-cheek humour that will leave you with a smile on your face - as you double-check the deadbolt on your front door!!
