ABOUT THIS BOOK There's a killer behind and trouble ahead The Halfway Inn is closed to customers, side-lined by a bypass, deep in the inhospitable countryside. One winter's night, deep in snow, Lee, a student hitching home for Christmas, and Becca, a local nurse, end up knocking on the door as the blizzard takes hold. But are they the first to arrive? Why is the landlord less than pleased to see them? And what is his elderly father, upstairs in bed immobilised by a stroke, trying so hard to tell them? At the local police station PC Lissa Lloyd is holding the fort while the rest of her team share in the rare excitement of a brutal murder at an isolated farmhouse. A dangerous fugitive is on the run - but how can Lissa make a name for herself if she's stuck at her desk? When a call comes in saying the nurse is missing she jumps at the chance to escape the boredom and heads out into the snow. The strangers at Halfway wait out the storm but soon realise they might have been safer on the road, especially when Lee finds something interesting in the cellar - which is nowhere near as interesting as what's under the old man's bed. It seems not all the travellers will make it home for Christmas... and if everyone is lying, then who do you trust? MY REVIEW I don't know about you but I have often wondered when I was driving somewhere new, what I would do if my car broke down late at night in an unfamiliar place. Well after reading this novel, that thought doesn't even bear thinking about and I am giving up driving (and I'm only half joking!). In a secluded spot called The Halfway Inn, strangers take refuge on a cold winter's night but what should be a safe haven in the dark becomes anything but. Will they make it out alive? And who is the killer lurking in the shadows? Intriguing, dark, and with plenty of twists along the way, HALFWAY by B.E. Jones is a fascinating read with plenty going for it. While I have to say that it is a little slow to get into the action, it wasn't long before I was fully engrossed and eager to find out exactly what was going on. Very atmospheric, HALFWAY by B.E. Jones is a compelling thriller and I look forward to reading more from this author. AUTHOR BIO B.E. Jones (Beverley Jones) is a former journalist and police press officer born in the Rhondda valleys.
