Read On - The Trouble with Jack

The trouble with Jack was that he didn’t listen to anyone.

He didn’t even listen to me, his girlfriend.

That’s why I was standing on Hutton Moor holding a bunch of flowers. There was a small card attached to them that said, Miss You, Jodie XXXX. I had tears in my eyes.

Jack Berry loved to cycle on the moors. One day he went out on his own and didn’t come back. A year later his girlfriend, Jodie, is still missing him.

On the anniversary of his death, odd things begin to happen. She hears his ring tone. Then, at a bike race, Jodie catches a glimpse of someone wearing Jack’s customised cycling jacket. His cycling bag is left on his best friend’s bike.

Is Jodie about to find out what really happened to Jack?

This tightly-wrought mystery story is written by master of suspense, Anne Cassidy.
