Book description
In 2012, Julia Crouch became East Coast Rail's first ever Writer in
Residence on the London to Harrogate line, writing a gripping short
story over the course of her return train journey. And what better place
for Julia to exercise her dark imagination and explore the deadly
intents of her characters; after all, as Agatha Christie and Patricia
Highsmith would attest, trains have long been the ideal setting for the
perfect murder... Turning fifty has not filled Sally with joy. She's
sitting on the Kings Cross to Harrogate train the morning after her
disastrous birthday meal, feeling fed up and hungover to hell. And then
a stranger climbs on board and sits down opposite her. You know those
passengers who really, really annoy you on trains? The ones who invade
your personal space, and worse? Well, he's one of those. And he's about
to push Sally to breaking point. After a drama degree at Bristol
University, Julia Crouch spent ten years devising, directing and writing
for the theatre. During this time she had twelve plays produced and
co-founded Bristol's Public Parts Theatre Company. She lives in Brighton
with her husband, the actor and playwright Tim Crouch, and their three
children. Her debut novel, Cuckoo, was published by Headline last year.
Every Vow You Break is her second novel.
