B.E. Jones (Constable)
On a dark winter’s day in wild and woolly west Wales, six desperate characters head for a closed-down deserted pub called Y Seren, The Star, or the Halfway Inn, which is halfway between here and there, hence the name, and the book’s title. Half a dozen arrive, but not all will leave alive. So who dies? Is it the copper, the hitcher, the nurse, the old landlord, his son, or the killer on the loose? There’s been a savage murder at a lonely farm and there’s a manhunt on for the murderer, but have they got the right suspect? This is the perfect thriller for a long cold November evening. Author B.E. Jones is an ex-journalist and police press officer who knows her business, so draw the curtains, stoke the fire, pull up a comfortable chair, and enjoy. MTi
