In "Cry Blue Murder" by Marion Roberts, the quiet town of Bethnal Green is rocked when a young boy is found murdered, and the entire community is thrown into turmoil. As the investigation unfolds, secrets are revealed, and the line between innocence and guilt blurs. The story follows detective sergeant Chris Hurst, who must navigate the complexities of the case while dealing with personal demons and the emotional toll on the victim's family. The narrative explores themes of loss, the impact of crime on small communities, and the relentless quest for justice in a world where not everything is as it seems.

Marion started writing because she wanted a job she could do in her pyjamas. Also, her friends kept saying her emails were too long, and she needed to find another place to put her stories.
