'Sometimes you needed that brash American energy to put people in their place. She'd interviewed a witness once, a tourist from Kansas who'd seen a mugging, and taken it upon themselves to intervene and hold the culprit down until the police had arrived. Idiotic, yes, but something about this Kansas mum's confidence in having done the right thing had charmed Jess a little. She'd still read her the riot act though and told her not to play hero anymore on London streets; muggers often have knives. The woman had laughed at that and then said sadly, 'Oh honey, even our teachers have guns.'
For our seventh book of the year I recommend The Train from Platform 2 by Stephanie Steel. I thought it was time for another murder mystery to keep us on our toes and glued to the page. I hope this does not put you off underground travel just as you are all probably setting your summer travel plans in motion! Here is the worksheet.
