Question about Rowan Jackman. Would it be a natural career progression to attend a prestigious school such as Oxford and then become a police detective? Does this give him a "leg up" with his career progression? Thank you very much. Love this series so much.
Joy Ellis
Hello Ann, so glad that you are enjoying the series. Re university, it seems to be the normal way into policing these days, and it certainly can help to fast-track people into good positions. In Jackman's case, it was his father who wanted much more from him than being a police officer, hence Cambridge. He studied sociology, knowing it would help him if he became a detective in the future, and finally he followed his dream, despite his father's wishes, something that did little for their relationship. Hope that explains it. x

Hello Joy, I love the Jackman and Evans series and I am happy to read that there will be more, I cannot wait for the next instalment. I have read them all so far. I am hoping Richard Armitage will be narrating again because he is Jackman in my opinion. Thank you so much Joy, what a talent you have. Will there ever be any crossover books between Jackman, Evans & Galena? Best Wishes Jennifer

I'm really enjoying the Fens series of books, up to number 5 so far. I have only just taken the time to read your bio and I have to ask how you managed to, so accurately, capture the general ambiance of the police station and the banter? As an retired officer, I laughed out loud at "Trumpton"
