Soul Seeker (2010)
“She won’t recognize you’ Rebecca Lancefield had embraced the news of her transfer to Cheltenham, and of the opportunity to work with acting DCI Beverley Wharton with something that was considerably less than enthusiasm – dread, despair, desperation, dissatisfaction, disgruntlement, disaffection and disbelief, perhaps – but nothing beyond those. It wasn’t so much the rumours of her easy virtue that seemed forever to circulate around her, nor the stories about a less than rigorous adherence to th...e strictures of PACE and subsequent legislation formalizing policing procedures; no, it was the whispers that Beverley Wharton did not do well by her colleagues, especially if said colleagues were female. She had gathered that those who crossed Beverley Wharton, or even those that looked as though they might, were sometimes mysteriously treated by the Fates; she had also been led to believe by those same whispers that attractive female colleagues were also prone to this destiny.
Not that Rebecca Lancefield made the hubristic mistake of believing that she was strikingly beautiful; she was, she knew, too short and from that came the impression that she was chubby; also she had a slightly lopsided smile and teeth that came within a whisper of an overbite, and sometimes the freckles became not curiously alluring but curiously off-putting.MoreLess
