I really enjoyed reading The Charity Shop Detective Agency—it's just as captivating as The Thursday Murder Club (I hope you don't mind the comparison!). Will this book series be adapted for the screen? Also, did you have specific actresses in mind as inspirations for the characters while writing the books?

I love my books being compared to The Thursday Murder Club! It would be my dream for it to be turned into a TV series! I'd love Harriet Walter to play Fiona, Sophie Thompson to play Daisy and Zara Ramm to be Partial Sue with Lesley Manville as Sophie Haverford. (less)

Quotes by Peter Boland  (?)

“Пожертвования разделяли на пять категорий для продажи: одежда и аксессуары, которые пока что продавались лучше всего; книги и DVD-диски (последних становилось все меньше с каждым днем, а видеокассет не было с тех пор, как отменили шоу Джереми Кайла). Затем детские игрушки, настольные игры и пазлы – которые нужно обязательно, под страхом смерти отмечать «проверены» или «не проверены», ведь в самом аду нет ничего страшнее, чем любитель пазлов, у которого отобрали последнюю деталь.”

“– Знаешь, некоторые люди так расточительны. У меня сердце болит за эту планету. Я изо всех сил пытаюсь это изменить, но мы с Гретой Тунберг не можем справиться в одиночку.

Фиона чуть не подавилась.

– Софи, у тебя же «Рэндж-Ровер» на дизельном топливе!”
