'A feisty heroine, an ingenious plot and a cast of quirky characters that soon feel like your best friends, make The Trust a cozy crime to savour' -- Merryn Allingham'It should be read in one sitting either by a lazy river or a roaring pub fire. Difficult to put down' -- Bill Goodall'Intelligent and gently humorous, with a suitably eccentric cast of characters' -- M S Morris M.H. Eccleston has had a fairly meandering career ? starting out as a radio presenter for the BBC, then staying at the Beeb as a journalist and producer for six years. After that, it's a bit of a blur ? he spent a couple of decades, at least, freelancing as a foreign correspondent, TV presenter, voice-over artist and film critic. For the last few years he's been a full-time screenwriter and now novelist, with some wildlife gardening in the summer to keep himself sane and pay the bills.
