Hi Bernard I have read all of your books and notice Devon features quite a lot. I live near the exe and have been glad to see Topsham and Dawlish mentioned on occasion. I also read a previous question which said you kept a boat of Starcross. I just wondered what connection you had with the area? What was your local pub? Also if you manage to get your boat under the railway bridge at Starcross/Cockwood try the mussels in the Anchor Inn which is on the harbour, you wont be disappointed. Looking forward to the next book. Best wishes, Neil
