Crystal Palace is a wonderful place for families, with quick commutes and the wide green spaces...

The Ills We Do
In secret quarters deep within MI6, Mona and Em are waiting. Both highly trained and highly capable cyber-security spies, theyve already thwarted what could have been world war, but for them the battle is only just beginning. Whilst they are a picture-perfect team professionally, Mona and Em must face each other now for a confrontation. One that wont be pretty. One thats been bubbling under the surface for a while. One where theyll need an intelligent strategy if they are to come off smelling of roses. Can they put their differences aside to face a common enemy, and fight it together before it is too late? From the team behind the critically acclaimed Yellow Things and The Diary of a Provincial Lady comes a dark psychological thriller, where nothing is what it seems. The Ills We Do invites audiences to consider how far theyd go to prove their worth, rise to the top and protect what is rightfully theirs.Read more
