Produktbeschreibung
Exploring a foggy Wiltshire hill path, a walker hears a distant scream and calls the police, but the attending officers find nothing. Two days later, a farmworker comes across a woman's body, her head bashed in. The victim is quickly identified as Bridget Kirkbride, who lived alone in a small cottage in a pretty nearby village. Detective Sophie Allen is called in. It's her first major case as head of the newly-formed Wessex Serious Crime Unit - and she's under pressure to get a quick result. Bridget was a mainstay of village life, always ready to help out her neighbours. No one has a bad word to say about her. So who killed her? Bridget had a fiftieth birthday party the week before, which many of the villagers attended, including her supposedly devoted son, Grant. He has now disappeared without trace. Then a body is pulled out of a reed bed in the River Severn. Sophie and her team are in a race against time to uncover the truth before anyone else pays the ultimate price.
Autorenporträt
I like to think of myself as a writer of thoughtful, contemporary crime novels that are complex and involve situations that change lives. I live in the west-country counties of Wiltshire and Dorset, and set my novels in this area. The early novels in the Sophie Allen series are based on the Isle of Purbeck, that most beautiful of coastal areas. But the rest of the county of Dorset does get a look in.I'm a retired teacher who has tinkered with writing for much of my life. My previous efforts have usually been directed towards short stories but I have always felt that crime novels would be one of my final choices, particularly if a developing storyline allows me to introduce one or two social issues, albeit with a light touch.I write because I constantly create scenes, people, imaginary conversations and unusual situations in my head. I have always done so, ever since I was a child. Using the richness of the English language to set down these creations in words is a great joy.
