I took a walk to some locations in my whodunit Current of Death. Unlike in London, in my novel,there are only two bodies in the Thames near my village in Oxfordshire where Current of Death is set. When I took this picture on Feb 15 Sandford Lane was still flooded.
To reach the lock, I crossed the Pooh Sticks Bridge where the World Championship now takes place. Some trees think it’s spring.
Three Cormorants had left the cormorant tree to guard Sandford lock.
One character lives on a houseboat .
I couldn’t get to Sandford Lasher with its the memorial to drowned students as the path was flooded. Not far away blossom and a brush of green are appearing on the trees.
How does somewhere so peaceful and beautiful have a dark side?
Alex and Kate meet in the Kings Arms and have a useful conversation with the lock keeper.
I finished my walk at Proof Social Bakery which appears in Current of Death and where I had a book signing.

Lovely feature in Round and About Magazine
The launch of Current of Death was fun – discussion on Oxford Murder Capital of the World with the help prolific crime writer Peter Tickler and Chris Andrews who has photographed Oxford for forty years .
