Death and the Oxford Box

This is the first in the Kate Ivory series.

Some years ago I was a member of a small running group, and in this book I drew upon my experiences of battling through rain, mud and gales to get fit enough to run a half-marathon in this book. It poses the question: 'How far would you go to help a friend?'

Kate is a member of a jogging group who run the streets and footpaths of Oxford in the early morning. The healthy exercise often comes a poor second to the group gossip, however, and Kate and her companions listen avidly to Rose's tales of her errant husband's latest wrongdoings. Soon they are all involved in a crackpot scheme to rescue a collection of enamel boxes for the unfortunate Rose - a scheme which is used by one of their number to cover up a murder.

The Manchester Evening News wrote: 'Smashing whodunnit from a refreshingly different writer.'
