Tina has written a novel with an interesting premise, great characters and a fast-paced plot.
The story starts in Auckland, with a shocked Karen witnessing the fatal drive-by shooting of her seemingly quiet lodger. When the dead man's drug associates come looking for Karen she begins to fear for her life, so she flees and eventually settles in Riverton, Hawke's Bay (otherwise known as Clive).
Karen becomes Cara and attempts to construct a life without leaving an electronic trail, (not without difficulty in our digital age and small country) with few possessions and working casual jobs for cash. She begins to settle into her new life and makes friends; including a tentative romantic attachment to Andy, but can she entrust him with information about her past?
Suspense builds as Cara's safety is threatened, with lots of tension and action when danger is imminent.
On a lighter note I can now amuse myself every time I drive through Clive - 'this must be that bridge!', 'this is where the train incident must have been!'
Running Towards Danger is highly recommended and I look forward to watching Tina's future success.
