Story Behind The Book
Jennifer was inspired to write the novel after seeing a young couple get off a bus in Glasgow. “I came up with the idea for the book when I saw a young couple getting off a bus in Glasgow in Argyle Street and him going down an alleyway to answer a call of nature. I expanded the idea making the girlfriend worried when he doesn't return. When she finds him slumped down on the pavement, she gets kidnapped.” Jennifer explained the genesis of the book.
“Sometimes it is the most innocuous thing which can spark and idea for a novel. Setting is also primary and Glasgow is the perfect backdrop for a crime novel, rich in character and rich with characters,” Jennifer said.
Vile City is her first book featuring DI Duncan Waddell and his team, including friend and colleague DC Stevie Campbell who’s in a coma since he was attacked by a suspect. Only Waddell can still talk to him, leaving the under-pressure detective to question his sanity.
Jennifer lives with her rescue dog and her partner and is a member of the Crime Writers Association. She’s had a variety of jobs including a hospital laundry attendant where she nearly cut off her hand with a stray scalpel left in a doctor’s white coat, a film extra and a board game inventor.
Vile City is published in paperback and ebook.
