The Commoner and the Correspondent

Nicola Sarah Brooks

Pinch and Darrow have finally split for good - they had more off time than on if they're honest. Was it a case of Darrow sleeping with the "help" as her mother keeps suggesting or did she really love Pinch?  As Axel and Esland's story unfolded I found myself not liking Darrow very much - a shame as her book is next and it's kind of put me on the back foot.

Esland and Darrow are supposed to be friends but at times Darrow's treatment of Essie is more like frenemy. Darrow told Essie she could trust Axel so when she gets into a pickle she turns to him for help and promptly gets turfed out of the pub!  However, after the miscommunication is sorted out Axel and Essie have a complicated case to be solved involving corruption and child exploitation. 

Essie has some layers to her and I found myself really bonding with her.  She has lots of family secrets to unwrap and some dodgy relatives to uncover!
