He shares more than his surname with her, Cool. Grin

Just the 'evolution' one now. I'd never heard of the sun one or the boat one.

And the author is Irish, brother to a very troubled woman singer.

Hallelujah - thank you @CoolCarrie and others: 20/20 now

Re the evolution clue, think of the two-word Latin term for the scientific classification that designates modern human beings -- as distinct from extinct previous versions on the evolutionary track.

I’ve got everything but the danger signs. The clues aren’t really helping.

BedHair · 18/11/2018 13:34

The danger signs is a poor clue because the second word of the title just isn’t a synonym for meeting place. I stared at it for ages, thinking that can’t be right, and was lightly outraged when it was correct.

The second word in the book/film title is another word for ‘relationships’, but which can also mean ‘connections’ or the binding agent in a sauce.

Thanks! Got it after googling. Didn’t know the book.
Would never have finished without this thread.

CoolCarrie · 18/11/2018 15:52

I didn’t know he was her brother, BedHair , that’s interesting!

BestIsWest · 18/11/2018 15:55

Got them all apart from the blimp and one other for whicH I can’t even find the clue

BestIsWest · 18/11/2018 16:00

Got them all now

kikashi · 23/11/2018 14:48

Best magnify the blimp. It says Vist the Bold Americas. Think about what the Americas was called in the sixteenth century.

There is a name in the sand

lancashirebornandbred · 25/11/2018 16:24

Could somebody help me with the dust one please. I assumed it was a handful of dust, but it won’t accept that as an answer. Am struggling to think of another book with dust in the title.

kikashi · 25/11/2018 16:48

Yes, I thought that too but it's simpler than that. What is it a book of?
Or try Philip Pullmans new trilogy

lancashirebornandbred · 27/11/2018 08:03

Thanks Kikashi, all done now.

anne1483 · 30/11/2018 17:00

The Kingston Hotel one is a Daphne Du Maurier novel. Stuck on the signpost, the boat and the urn. Any clues?

t1mum3 · 12/12/2018 14:28

Am I the only one struggling with the sleeping carol santa hat person? I've got all the others now

PawneeParksDept · 12/12/2018 15:53

@t1mum3

Literally say what you see

anne1483 · 12/12/2018 19:09

Look at her name.

OneStepMoreFun · 22/12/2018 16:57

Is anyone still around? I can't get the origin of species one. It's not that so what is it? And I can't get the bold American either.
Any clues?

OneStepMoreFun · 22/12/2018 17:06

I've got origin of species now but not the damn American. I've tried The Brave Pilgrim/fearless colonial etc. Is this on the right track (guessing)

PawneeParksDept · 22/12/2018 17:23

Ok

You've got one of the words

It's not pilgrim and it's what non Americans called America pre 1776 besides America

Hope that helps !

anne1483 · 22/12/2018 21:17

Okay. The one you're stuck on is a quote from Miranda in The Tempest.

OneStepMoreFun · 22/12/2018 23:10

Wow. I'd never have got that without your help. Thank you!
