2000s: Remember those agony aunt letters in magazines? You’ve not read one like this before
Dear Amy
What you need to know before your trail
Margot Lewis is the agony aunt for The Cambridge Examiner. She’s seen and read everything. Well until the day she receives this:
Dear Amy, I don’t know where I am. I’ve been kidnapped and am being held prisoner by a strange man. I’m afraid he’ll kill me. Please help me soon, Bethan Avery
The problem is that Bethan Avery has been missing for years. This is a famous case which many people have now forgotten but could Bethan really still be alive? There are things in the letters which follow which were never made public…
MArgot has to decide what, if anything, to do. But what is the risk of trying to find out?
Travel Guide
Cambridge set.
Margot lives and works in Cambridge – the land of academia where quite aptly she works as a classics teacher. Surrounded by the landscape of learning with spires, gothic looking buildings and the history imbued into every building, her past however has more shadowy areas than the whole of Cambridge put together.
Most of the mystery is centered around St Hilda’s college where she teaches and the Corn Exchange where she lives. There’s the inevitable library too which is nice.
The mystery of the hallowed halls comes when one of her pupils disappears. Letters arrive at the paper from another girl, missing for some 20 years.
Margot’s convinced they’re real and soon finds herself called to see Martin Forrester, part of a team that works on the historical analysis of crime data.
These gothic halls and walls have never looked so shadowy.
