The Marrying Maiden
()
About this ebook
A summer holiday week with friends and family in an old stone cottage in pretty Pencarden village, in the lovely woodland grounds of the Police College where Bruno is teaching a course in emotional reception as an aspect of situational awareness. Bruno gets lost in the pathways that wind among the Scots pine, horse chestnut, larch, beech, oak, sycamore, yew and elms and is drawn to the estuary with its mudflats, and the haunting cries of curlews. A faded photograph of a Late Victorian lady in white muslin, with a Chinese parasol, draws his attention. As his practical course stimulates the students in unexpected ways, the past seeps into the present and a persistent presence is felt – and seen. The I-Ching shows the way and Imogen, reluctantly, forces Bruno to face a truth he has long avoided. Last in the series, The Marrying Maiden draws The Bruno Benedetti Mysteries to a close.
Alan Ahrens-McManus
Alan Ahrens-McManus describes his qualifications as a novel writer as, "a life of getting into scrapes and out of them while hanging out with people so extremely different they wouldn’t be seen dead with each other; years of living and working in dodgy situations in even dodgier countries; a Highland grandmother who passed on her gift of various experiences of second sight; a fascination with the peculiarities of people and a total inability to stop my words jumping around merrily on the page. I also have a respect for my characters, which are only vaguely my own creation, and the patience to let them tell me in their own time and in their own way what they’ve been up to since I wrote about them last."
