Alice Tully hadn’t seen any of these at the time. Some of the tabloids focused on the seedier side: the attempts to cover up the crime the details of the body the lies told by the children. The events on that terrible day at Berwick Waters. The trial had thrown up dozens of articles from all angles. When the killing first happened, the news was in every paper for months. Sometimes they were tiny, a column on an inside page, a nugget of gossip floating on the edge of the news, hardly causing a ripple of interest. Sometimes they roared from the front page, the headlines bold and demanding. In any case, the stories about Jennifer Jones weren’t around all the time. She was a social worker and had a lot of clients to see. It meant waiting until Rosie, the woman she lived with, was out at work. She much preferred to read the articles about Jennifer Jones when she was on her own. Frankie was a giant beside her, and he liked to pick her up and carry her around, especially if they were having an argument. Alice was small and thin and often bought her clothes cheaply in the children’s section of clothes shops. He was bigger and taller than she, but that wasn’t difficult. Alice tried to push him away, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer and in the end the newspaper crumpled and slipped onto the ground.Īlice couldn’t resist Frankie. He put his arm around her shoulder and dipped his mouth into her neck while she was reading. He couldn’t understand why she was so fascinated. Some of the weekend papers even resurrected the old headline: a life for a life!Īlice Tully read every article she could find. The public had a right to know where she was.
She posed a threat to children and should be kept behind bars. In FINDING JENNIFER JONES Kate makes a fresh start and tries hard to put her past behind her.Everyone was looking for Jennifer Jones. This brings back sharp memories for Kate. One day a child goes missing presumed drowned. Summer job in the Tourist Information Office. She is not allowed to do it but she does it anyway. The one thing she wants to do is to contact the third girl who was there on that fateful day when she killed her friend. She rankles under the restrictions of her freedom. Her relationship with those in authority has changed. The experiences she had then and the life she has to live while at university have made her cynical and slightlyīitter. Then I found her a much changed person from the girl at the end of the first book.
