Evidence: a social media survey of just 80 people, only half of which actually agreed with, from a group condemned by Pride in London.

The only detail I didn’t like? Descriptions. Knowing about clothes or hairdos, when they’re not relevant to the plot, is unnecessary at best and boring at worst. Katherine is seeking oblivion from guilt and grief with sleeping pills and vodka. She has returned with her husband to his sleepy hometown of Lowbridge, an hour’s drive from Sydney, distancing themselves from the family tragedy that occurred there. Jamie’s threat of rehab finally gets her out of the house, slowly and incrementally, to the Historical Society where her interest in the local lore becomes troubling for Jamie: the fundraiser for the Rural Fire Service is well received, the celebration of the Women’s Centre more contentious, the 30 year old cold case of missing 16 year old Tess Dawes fractious.

It was 47 years ago that Morris tried and failed in his plan to sexually assault and kill another child, a move which ultimately proved to be his undoing. He was arrested the following day. Trevor Lowbridge was part of a two-man team given the task of interviewing Morris Lowbridge is an absorbing read and, with a variety of red herrings and false leads, it kept me guessing. The characters support the storyline well, so that it’s hard to guess which are simply grumpy, which are genuinely charming, and which might hold the vital clues to the mystery of the girl’s disappearance. Told through dual timelines about missing girls, this brilliant Aussie crime thriller had me on the edge of my seat. Brilliantly written, I loved every moment reading this one.

In any other situation the stories of those interviewed by Lowbridge would recognised as describing emotional and sexual abuse. But because those accused of wrongdoing identify as transgender, the story has been swiftly dismissed and derided by the dinner party bores of the Guardian set.

The largest customer for the PD2/30 was Central SMT, which took 55 between 1957 and 1960 with 59-seat lowbridge bodies built by Alexander (40) and Northern Counties (15).

[2] What I took from this book was the survival and resilience of broken women and their surprising strength to carry on…..and never to be belittled or under estimated. Well done Lucy Campbell on your debut novel, a five star read for me! After Leyland ended the production of the Leyland Titan in UK, Ashok Leyland of India took up production and marketed the bus in South Asia as the Ashok Leyland Titan, which, in much developed form, is still in production.

Origins [ edit ] A preserved Leyland Titan TD1 of Glasgow Corporation at the Scottish Vintage Bus MuseumSince its formation as a statutory corporation in 1933, the London Passenger Transport Board had a 30-year contractual obligation to source 75% of its buses from AEC, and in 1938–39 worked with AEC on a revised version of the Regent to better suit London operating practice, following on from the 100 experimental STD Titan TD4s of 1936. It had a large-displacement engine running under less stress, with other innovative features being an air-pressure system, not only working the brakes, but also the change-speed pedal on the pre-selective gearbox, which was built by AEC to Self-Changing Gears and Daimler Company patents.
