MEET ALEX
People think Alex is the perfect girl-next-door, but sheÂ’s made of sterner stuff than most. Divorced pub owner and graphic artist, she meets challenges head on, especially when she decides to stand up for justice. Alex is no stranger to trouble, never has been since she was a scrappy girl with no dad and a mum working around the clock.

THE VILLAGE
A view of Folly from The Hill is cause for a smile in any season. LetÂ’s try December, early on a cold morning. Snow covers frozen twigs that crackle beneath your feet. On a high point to the west stands ruined Tinley Tower, the folly the village was named for. Below, across the green with its frozen duck pond, honey-yellow cottages huddle. Thin smoke straggles from chimneys and lights shine through leaded windows. Idyllic. Deceptively so?
