A good read

We recently enjoyed this book from a fairly new writer.
It had an interesting twist and for a change the characters and their situation was believable and realistic.  What amused us was the writer seems to "have followed us round the UK" as my husband put it.  We have lived a somewhat nomadic life and moved around a lot. This story started in a service station on the Welsh borders and we have visited many of those when our eldest was at Uni in Liverpool. The victim came from Norfolk, and "Denham Market" was recognizable was Downham Market by the description of the one way traffic system!  The ending in Ireland was on a very familiar beach!

We visited the library together this week which was  a good thing. I like to take a short cut through the adjoining park which has really good perennial planting. Unfortunately it is also the hang out of groups of men drinking.  There was rather a lot this week, and they were a bit verbal,  and if husband had not been there I would have been seriously worried. This is within sight of the Police station and has notices on the gates declaring it "alcohol banned area".   I think I will write to the local papers!

  1. It's rather frightening when groups like that upset people by just being there drinking when they shouldn't be. Good for you writing to the papers. Perhaps a call in to the police station might prompt some action.
