A country walk: The answer to everything

There’s nothing like a country walk for melting away the nagging irritations of life, especially in England. Public footpaths and trails are everywhere—just set out somewhere on foot and you’re sure to find one. It helps to have a trustworthy map and a compass, or even better, join a group with a seasoned guide. Such walks inspired my Walk in England series of mysteries (except no murders occurred on them!). Publication of the first—“A Deadly Walk in Devon”—is now only five months away! You can pre-order using the link on my home page.
