A Rather Curious Crime by Patrick Forsyth
Alice Carter always wanted to be a journalist. Still new to her first job as a junior reporter on a local newspaper she reckons her editor seems to be stuck viewing her as the office dogsbody. Nevertheless she tackles everything conscientiously while also looking for a new home in the town in which she now lives.She is learning a lot, however, no one knows more about the ideal costume to wear for a fun run or how many pies it is impressive to eat in a pie eating contest, and she hopes planned visits to the local library and a top executive will prove of more interest than competitive pie eating.While the routine is getting to Alice, elsewhere someone is laying plans for a criminal act in the town which will mix danger and hope in a curious way - and which is not in any way routine.
Patrick Forsyth has worked for many years as a business consultant and management trainer. Linked to this he is the author of innumerable articles and more than fifty successful business and management, personal development, self-help and career books (for example, Detox your career and Manage your boss). In recent years his writing has expanded into broader areas. He has had a humorous book published about life in the office jungle, Surviving office politics (Marshall Cavendish). In addition, he has had short stories published and also writes about writing for Writing Magazine for which he also pens a monthly column. He first travelled to South East Asia some twenty-five years ago, and has visited regularly-especially to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand-for both work and pleasure ever since. His first book of travel writing-First class at last!-is a light-hearted account describing a journey on the Eastern & Oriental Express, the luxury train that runs from Singapore to Bangkok. This was well reviewed, one reviewer calling it ...lively, witty and wry. He lives in the United Kingdom, in Maldon in Essex, where he writes looking out over the River Blackwater.
