Cold Pursuit (2014)
“Love is as strong as death; jealousy is as cruel as the grave.
Daniel McDine, thickset, with a shaven head, designer spectacles and a strong Estuary accent, was not Fran’s idea of how a deputy head should look or sound, but then, she’d been educated in days before senior teachers were jetted from one establishment to another in search of general educational – and personal financial – success. His government spokesman-like air of controlled truculence in a very pricey suit put her off immed...iately. Dilly had certainly chosen a different type of man to love this time, even though he was probably the same age as Stephen, possibly even older. Ever since they’d been introduced he’d been chuntering about being made to leave work early. He’d promised to arrive no later than three-thirty but it had been four-fifteen when he’d finally arrived. Since then, he’d taken three or four calls on his mobile; in exasperation, she’d told him to turn it off.Now they were all sitting together in Dilly’s late Victorian cottage, which would probably be described by an agent as bijou, with its downstairs bathroom and low ceilings, but to Fran’s mind was poky, more probably built for labourers rather than artisans.MoreLess
