Good morning, I have got the novelists for columns 1 and 2 of the puzzle, but am stuck on finding the writer for column 3. Can anyone give me some answers to the following to help me find the author for this column. I would like answers to the clues, not the name of the novelist which I would like to discover for myself. Many thanks in advance!
