After a young woman is strangled to death on the top of Glastonbury Tor, we are introduced to the main character Detective Sergeant Kate Linton. Kate and her colleagues soon discover two other murders have occurred and are possibly linked. There swiftly follows an abduction of a local girl, so they are now un...more

I was asked to read and review A Means of Escape for Real Readers and I approached the book with an open mind unfortunately I found it to be a challenging read.There are several threads throughout the novel not all of which mesh well together and I was left feeling the ending came with little completition of several of those threads.
The characters were in the main well drawn but several I found lacking in both substance and believability

I live just outside Glastonbury with my husband, 2 children and our mentally challenged cat. When I’m not writing crime fiction I’m a copywriter. And when I’m not writing copy I’m supposed to be training to run a marathon. I spend far too much time worrying and not enough time doing the housework.
