Still Waters - 2
Still Waters sees the development of the Fran and Mark relationship. They have decided to buy a house together. But a novelist can't possibly let what should be a period of great personal happiness go unmarred. So I decided to stir things up a bit.
What better than to run a story about all the reorganisation affecting public services everywhere - as if the police could ever be run like a business! You can imagine that Fran in particular is not likely to have an easy time.
Things aren't easy at home, either, and even the rescue of their new house, the Rectory, is causing heartache. Fortunately Paula's Pots, who featured in Scar Tissue, are back again, in their new incarnation as Pact Restorers. It is they who take on the huge task of making the Rectory habitable. And they have a strange link with a man who is doing his level best to get Fran to leave the police.
So what do they find at the bottom of the Rectory garden? And why is there a new corpse on the very last page?
