Look for it to come soon. INSTANT bestseller, I'm telling you.
My mother's elderly neighbour in Somerset put an advertisement online for someone to do odd jobs around her house and garden a few years ago. It was answered by a good looking middle-aged man with a slight South African accent. He did some work for her which she was very happy with, but then said that he was looking for somewhere to stay. She decided to let him a room in her house, and he became very friendly with all of her neighbours. He was a very charming, cultured and interesting man but rarely shared any details of his own life and background - One morning he just vanished. No note, no indication of why he had left or where he had gone. Was he a criminal on the run? Nothing was stolen, nothing went missing. Was he in the UK illegally? We never found out, but I have puzzled over it ever since!
