[Robert William Fisk]

This was my first attempt at a crime thriller. "Too much like Midsomer Murders" said my friend John from Canada. He is right. But I also had several comments from readers that they found the book hard to put down. That surprised me as the plot is complicated and has too many characters. Richard West is a teacher in an exclusive girls' school. One student has a video of the murder of a journalist. Richard's daughter is abducted to stop him following up on the video. The twin sister of the murdered journalist seeks revenge on the group of otherwise upright citizens who are using the school to distribute drugs I enjoy re-reading the description of Jo Hannah lying in the bush (the forest) preparing to die. I wish I was as brave as she.
