Killing You Softly

By Neil Carpenter

Killing You Softly is set in 2014 when coalition policies are biting more deeply across the country. In a Cornish village, three teenage girls, unsure of themselves sexually, struggle with both their adolescence and their attempts to understand the political changes around them.
For one of them, Becky Goldsmith, the truth about the local surgery slowly emerges: privatisation. And the first casualty is her GP father, driven from his job by trumped-up allegations.
Who is behind it all? A chain that starts with the father of her best friend, Sarah King, a man who has only two interests - women, preferably half his age, and making money. A chain ending in the heart of government.
