Head Start (Jane Cowan, 1) - Softcover

Judith Cutler, Birmingham’s Queen of Crime, began her working life as a college lecturer. She has written nearly forty novels, with protagonists ranging from the nineteenth-century vicar-detective Tobias Campion to Chief Superintendent Fran Harman. Now Jane Cowan joins their ranks. Judith is married to fellow writer Edward Marston, whom she partners in the speaking duo ‘Murder Ancient and Modern’.

"Judith Cutler is highly skilled at building tension and holding the reader's interest; I have enjoyed her previous books in modern settings featuring college lecturers, policewomen, antique sellers and pub landladies so this is a welcome addition to her oeuvre. It is a very good read, indeed." (Jennifer S. Palmer Promoting Crime Fiction)

"Psychological thriller from Judith sees Jane's world turned upside down as she takes on the role of trying to bring to justice the intruder in the primary school where she works. Plenty of tension and cat and mouse antics in this excellent, slightly dark thriller." (Books Monthly)

“This is another thoroughly enjoyable mystery from one of my favorite writers, Judith Cutler... Head Start is a fast-paced, first-rate puzzle of a mystery with an appealing heroine. I hope to read more books featuring Jane Cowan.” (Kittling: Books)
