Angela Kilfeather is the most exotic creature that ever came out of our road. Well, that’s not really true – my family is far more dramatic what with broken marriages and suicide attempts and drug addiction and Helen, but Mum uses Angela Kilfeather as the gold standard: bad and all as her daughters are, at least they’re not lesbians who French-kiss their girlfriends beside suburban leylandii. (Helen once worked with an Indian man who mistranslated ‘gays’ as ‘Jolly Boys’. It caught on so much that nearly everyone I know – including all my gay friends – now refers to gay men as ‘Jolly Boys’. And always said in an Indian accent. The logical conclusion is that lesbians are ‘Jolly Girls’, also said in an Indian accent.) Steele, Francesca (31 January 2020).

Mind you, it sounds far more dangerous and exciting than it is. She mostly does white-collar crime and ‘domestics’ – where she has to get proof of men having affairs. I would find it terribly depressing but she says it doesn’t bother her because she’s always known that men are total scumbags. But her family have other ideas. And mysteriously, Aiden seems unwilling to get in touch. Anna is puzzled. What could have happened to her marriage to the man that she would do anything for, that he won't call her?
