Sophie Rivers is finally on holiday! She s left behind the stresses of a tough job, teaching at a deprived inner-city college in Birmingham, and has just started seeing the delectable Mike Lowden, one of the country s most exciting cricketers. When he suddenly becomes the prime suspect in the particularly nasty murder of a not-so-popular rival cricketer, Sophie s got too much to lose to remain merely a spectator...
From PD James' Cordelia Gray onwards, British detective writing is crammed with feisty young female sleuths. But in Cutler's Sophie Rivers we are undoubtedly dealing with the creme de la creme - THE TIMES
Cutler had me enthralled... For all its wit and gritty drama this is a comforting book, the sub-text one of successful communication between different cultures, ages, sexes. A clever book in which the fallible central character discovers a son as well as a lover, and new readers will discover Cutler - SHOTSJudith Cutler lives and works in Birmingham. She is currently the Secretary of the Crime Writers Association and has written a number of short stories, most notably for the BBC Short Story slot.
