After a mysterious encounter a lonely woman finds herself becoming a reluctant latter day Miss Marple, without giving up her day job.
This story is about Morag, a woman with limited social skills who is only able to communicate comfortably with her fellow Trekkies. This communication is generally electronic, but she is developing a real flesh-and-blood relationship of sorts with one Trekkie, Vijay, who just happens to live nearby. Vijay helps Morag when she is learning to drive, by letting her get in some practice on Sunday afternoons.
When Morag thinks she may have witnessed the aftermath of a murder, Vijay persuades her to report it to the police and she finds the experience both disappointing and puzzling. Despite her initial reluctance to get involved, she becomes increasingly both fascinated and scared by what appears to be a dangerous criminal conspiracy after she witnesses another event seemingly linked to the first. All this takes place while she struggles to cope with normal life, against a background of volatile relationships with work colleagues and family.
I'm making this story up as I go along and I'm keen to find out how it will end .
