'One of crime fiction's most engaging heroines' - Yorkshire Post
--This text refers to the

edition.
Product Description
Aspiring actress and part-time private investigator Fran Varady knew there would be maximum disruption when her friend Ganesh decided to modernise his uncle's newsagents, starting with the washroom. But she isn't prepared for the nightmare that begins when an agitated passer-by asks to use it: hours later, he's found stabbed to death, leaving a message for Fran to meet him, and a mysterious roll of film hidden behind the old pipes ...
Fran realises that whoever wanted the negatives knows where they were hidden. And, probably, where they are now. With her police protection more a hindrance than a help, an old friend, Tig, on the verge of collapse, and the builders wreaking havoc in the shop, can Fran find out why someone is prepared to murder for the negatives - before they find her?

Format:Paperback
This was my first Fran Varady read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The heroine is a very convincing and likeable character, living almost on the fringes of society. The fact that she was once homeless herself seems to add to the sense of insecurity and vague urban menace. I found the plot and the characters engaging and couldn't wait to by the next book.

From the start i felt like i knew the characters! Its a great read, very believable storyline, and some humour as well. The author gets you right inside the mind of the main character, excellent!

Interesting read
24 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
This author has developed the Fran Varady character over three novels. Fran is a young, feisty homeless person who seems to thrive on being alone and a loner. The plotting here, as with earlier outings for Fran, involves the down and outs, the homeless and the poor of England. For something different to the usual can-do, superwomen of female-detective crime fiction, give this a try.
Excellent crime novel, good audiobook

Format:Audio Cassette
I prefer Kim Hicks' performances of Ann Granger's Fran Varady crime novels, because for me Hicks' voice perfectly evokes the shades of Fran's character. But Nicole Arumugam does a thoroughly professional reading here, bringing all the characters to life: Fran, Ganesh, Tig, even the dog. Another solid crime novel in the excellent Fran Varady series set among the struggling young in London.
