Meet Isobel

I wanted to make Isobel's entrance reflect her personality. She is a strong, troubled woman, having difficulties both with communication and forming relationships. This could be due to many reasons -- her childhood was tainted by the tragic death of her brother, and she subsequently abandoned her newborn daughter. Could her coolness be due to these tragic events, or is she neuro-diverse?

Book Excerpt

Shorestone Murders

She stepped off the train, dragging a suitcase behind her, ignoring the clatter as it dropped over the edge of the train doorway onto the platform beneath. She hurried to the steps that arched over the tracks, heaving her case over the barrier, nodding at the guy manning the exit, who, with a flicker of recognition crossing his face, opened the gate for her.

She walked towards the exit doors, which opened automatically as though to greet her, and, standing with her feet wide and shoulders back, she lit her first cigarette for five years and surveyed the town that fought her and won.

She was back.

Isobel Hester was home.
