The walls were painted in a relaxing dove grey aside from a feature wall, which was papered in a deep-blue and grey pattern with touches of silver.
But she was curious about the person whose eyes had never left her since she walked across the room.

For me reading the books out of sequence, meant that finally reading Born Bad was like the glue that merged the stories. The sofa was also grey but darker and covered with scatter cushions in various shades of greys, blues and a mustard colour. His hair was going grey, and he was muscle-bound and rugged looking, whereas she preferred her men more sophisticated and slimmer like her husband. As they passed an elderly lady walking an overenthusiastic Collie, Rex cowered behind Beth, whimpering. As Beth smiled at his enthusiasm, he nodded at a table for two with plush chairs covered in a fawn-coloured fabric.
His other hand was clasped around her middle, but it felt weighty, as though he was holding something, which was prodding her stomach. It’s launch day for Blackmail, the second book in a series of standalone crime thrillers and also my thirteenth novel. The relationship between the characters is also great to follow, sometimes characters do not work together but the main characters blend well, I liked watching Julie and Vinny grow. One look at the muddy path and she hesitated, almost turning back, but she could feel Rex straining at the leash. They had both been living in Romiley when they met two years ago, Beth in her own flat and Brady in a three-bed semi he owned.As their relationship progressed, they decided to pool their resources and upgrade to a three-bedroom detached home in the more affluent area of Marple. When they’d first met, she had been bowled over by the fact that he was so charming and couldn’t seem to do enough for her. But when Laura’s business is repeatedly vandalised, she begins to fall back into old habits to cope with the stress. Although she’s moved on, she’s never forgotten how far she had to go to beat her addictions and raise her daughter, Candice. So if you haven’t read Slur, (although I do recommend it), you will not be missing out by diving straight into this one.
The feeling of desperation and constant threat runs through the whole book, and is almost enough to make you want to stop reading, if you weren’t so invested in the characters. If she was honest with herself, she’d also initially been attracted by the fact that he was so ambitious. Then he lowered his voice, ‘Rumour has it that he’s a bit dodgy and he’s running other businesses on the side. Beth left the path and fought her way through the undergrowth, feeling the sting of nettles through her jeans.Heather now works full-time as an author from her home in Manchester which she shares with her two grown-up children.
