A battered and broken body lies in the road. A discovery that leaves the local community gripped with fear. Suspicion as to who killed the woman is rife.
Corinne’s peaceful life is shattered by the tragic death, forcing her to struggle daily with overwhelming grief and loss.
A chance meeting with a stranger helps Corinne through the hurt and pain, but can she really trust Jack?
Chrissie always wanted to write books, her school reports said, “Chrissie is creative and enjoys her story writing, but needs to pay more attention to academic subjects too.” Her English teacher was very supportive however, and encouraged Chrissie to follow her dream. So that’s what she did. Chrissie’s first full-length story was written at the age of eleven, and although it was never published, she kept on writing and her first book was finally published in 2008. Chrissie has now published eight books, set in exciting locations such as Greece, Egypt and Jordan, and is currently working on the next three, two of which are due for release in 2021.
Chrissie writes for the hugely popular tourist website Zakynthos Informer and has also contributed articles for numerous other publications. Chrissie’s book Among the Olive Groves won a SIBA Award in the historical fiction category in 2016, and in 2013 her poem Maisie was performed at the Bath International Literary Festival event 100 poems by 100 women.
I always love a book that sets the scene right from the start, especially if it's quite descriptive and makes you think, where are we, what's about to happen? I wanted to do this with this story.
Book Excerpt
Integrate
A full moon had risen high in the sky casting a brilliant silver glow over the dark world below. The night was, for the most part, silent and still, only occasionally disturbed by a cry of fox, hoot of owl or rustle of a small mammal in the hedgerow. A long, winding road lined with trees, hedges and fences, snaked its way through the vast open countryside. Now and again a lone building reared its head, the only sign of human habitation in an otherwise bleak landscape.
