One True Friend

Katherine Alford's life was abruptly cut short one fateful night in June 2008. The devoted mothers body was discovered in her car near a local beauty spot. With a promise to return in ten minutes, Katherine had left home the night before leaving her young son in a neighbours care. Minutes stretched into hours. Panic and concern spread like wildfire the following morning until the awful truth emerged. This was the sombre backdrop to the investigation led by Gus Freeman and his team a decade later. As they dissect the initial police investigation, they unearth alarming shortcomings and missed leads. Clues remain elusive, secrets are guarded, and the truth dances tantalizingly out of reach. At the heart of the mystery lies a simple yet perplexing question: Who was the person Katherine hurriedly dashed out to meet that ill-fated evening? This perfect blend of detective mystery and everyday life will delight fans of Sally Rigby, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Simon McCleave, and Pauline Rowson. PRAISE FOR TED TAYLER: Ted Tayler brilliantly weaves the details of the mysterious murder dropping breadcrumbs for readers to follow. We follow Freeman and his team as they interview witnesses, suspects, and friends of the victim. Along with his liberal use of British colloquialisms, he enriches the flavour of the tale. His prose brings the investigation to life. I think Gus Freeman will be as appealing as The Phoenix. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a solid mystery. Elizabeth. Tayler's ability to give multiple dimensions to his characters gives his books a genuine slant. He works the relationships between his characters smoothly into his plots." Patrick. Gus Freeman is a multi-dimensional character who is not only called on to help solve a crime, but also deal with his personal issues. It is always a joy to read this author's stories.
