Travel Guide
Rubery, Birmingham
The book is set in the village of Rubery and beyond, which is about 9 miles outside of Birmingham. The locations are far and wide and not just crime scenes as we get a nice visit to the central museum too.
Locations are well evoked and fit nicely with the rushing around of the police to find the next crime scene. Bit of a Birmingham treasure hunt this one!
