This thriller, written from the perspective of a serial killer couple, is a gripping page turner. It kept me guessing until the very end.
Tobias and his wife Millicent seem like a normal couple. We read about their home routine and the demands of their work. Their struggles to balance family life, however, are intertwined with hidden schemes to locate their next victims.
In the opening pages of the book, we find out about Tobias’s method of entrapment, as he approaches a woman in a bar. He is charming, but also slick and unscrupulous.
As we read on, the questions start to pile up. Why did Tobias and Millicent start on this murderous spree? How can they justify the impact on their children? Why is their manipulative son, Rory, sneaking out at night? How will they deal with the seething violence in their daughter, Jenna, sick in mind and body? Will Tobias’s obsession with tantalising the media with clues about their identity be their undoing?
Compelling.

SERIES: THE GAME IS ON!
The Game is On! is a series of short animated films that put copyright and creativity under the magnifying glass of Sherlock Holmes, providing a unique, research-led and open access resource for school-aged learners and other creative users of copyright. Drawing inspiration from well-known copyright and public domain work, as well as recent copyright litigation, these films provide a springboard for exploring key principles and ideas underpinning copyright law, creativity, and the limits of lawful appropriation and reuse.
Each episode is accompanied by a number of related Case Files, supplementary educational materials aimed at suggesting points of discussion about copyright for teachers and students. In the various Case Files that accompany the six episodes of The Game is On! – 33 in all – we explore a wide range of issues relating to core aspects of copyright law.

Our current library (the Learning Resource Centre) was built in 1980. These photos from 1978 and 1980 were taken in the previous library which was located upstairs, in the main building, where the current I.T. labs are.
Look closely and you'll see the original card catalogue as well as a lot of hardbacks on the shelves.
Thanks to Matthew Roberts (Archivist) for these photos.
