It is Neapolitan. It’s a quartet of books.

no other clue has help so far.

unsure of any map lingo

Some maps, for instance in car parks, will have a red marker showing where you are and there’ll be three words confirming this.

Also, if you enjoyed the writing in One Day you may enjoy this.

For the ghost what is it doing? It’s coming in. What’s another word for come in ? The panda one is a pretty old book with a grammar and punctuation theme. Author’s name is almost the same as a recent short lived prime minister.

@Happygranny59 how far did the clues upthread get you?

Not very great. I'm a 65 year old granny and baby is only a year old. I know the four guys are something to do with the colour of their waistcoats and it is possibly a box set, girl with animals I haven't seen any clues yet, bee man and camera, can't figure out out from the clues I've seen either. Cocktails I've tried Manhattan and various other cities, googled my eyes out trying to find something. I look forward to this every year and only found good hints on this group when I joined after baby was born

JassyRadlett · 17/11/2024 15:32

Ok:

With the four guys - think ice cream you get in a carton in those colours, and then the kind of group the men are in (not a duet, not a trio...) is the second half.

The child with the animals is a classic for younger children by an extremely well-known 20th century English children's author - the kinds of animals they are feature in the title.

The camera... they had to buy it from Oceania because we have always been at war with Eastasia....

Cocktails - Google Montauk, and then think of different kinds of tea. Very cold, very alcoholic tea.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go 🤞

Thank you. Have managed to get them all. The camera one was a bit of a bugger, wouldn't have thought of numbers. Definitely happy now

narrucO1 · 17/11/2024 19:02

Hi , I was stuck on the Workshop for women poster and several people tried to help me but it was something you wrong that gave me an idea and I have just got it, so thanks and well done on getting them all.

narrucO1 · 17/11/2024 19:08

Thanks everybody who helped, I got there eventually!

Sallyliz32 · 18/11/2024 02:41

TinyTear · 14/11/2024 12:37

Killing Angel
Comedy
BLOODY FUCKING HIDDEN LIGHTS

ahrgh!

Think wartime story recently televised

CaptainMyCaptain · 18/11/2024 07:35

Killing Angel
The character in the book is not an actual angel but is a girl who has done no wrong. It is also a Netflix series.

Sallyliz32 · 18/11/2024 10:45

Heylittlesongbird · 16/11/2024 17:08

And what’s the panda doing?

Think non fiction book

Sallyliz32 · 18/11/2024 10:46

ClaraSais · 15/11/2024 22:13

Thanks all for them all apart from that strong woman poster which I bet is really obvious but I’m just daft

You're almost there change woman to another word for the gender!

Sallyliz32 · 18/11/2024 10:47

Woollypullover · 15/11/2024 23:07

Stuck on Sting and the Neapolitan Quartet (tried My Brilliant Friend)

You're almost there with My Brilliant Friend....how many books in that series?!

Heylittlesongbird · 18/11/2024 10:48

Sorry no, that was me trying to give a clue. Clearly not very well

Sallyliz32 · 18/11/2024 10:48

CaptainMyCaptain · 15/11/2024 08:34

Gold Face
Not gold but similar. All one word.

Fairly recent book maybe Google books with yellow covers?

Sallyliz32 · 18/11/2024 10:49

Allnewtometoo · 14/11/2024 11:14

Anyone got the country girls?
