When a crime from the 1930s remained unsolved, author Diane Janes took it upon herself to find justice for 28 year old Evelyn Foster.
"The case of Evelyn Foster’s murder was fascinating to me. Found 70 feet away from the road crawling out of her flame-engulfed car, her body singed, she’d used her dying breaths to explain what had happened to her. But the case had never been solved. So, 86 years on, I set out to do exactly that."

Carnegie Medal winning author, Tim Bowler, visited Exeter School on Wednesday 4 November to deliver creative writing workshops to all Lower Fifth classes.
Tim is renowned for his psychological thrillers for young adults and he challenged pupils to consider an imaginary place in which something reasonably believable, yet strange or unexpected, happens.
