This is a whodunit with a twist. The book was inspired by the town's mini bus service and many of the regulars who travel on this route, but there the resemblance ends. The following story and the characters are no more than a figment of the author's creative imagination and any resemblance to persons or related incidents are purely coincidental. Importantly no elderly humans or animals were harmed in the writing of this book.The local yellow bus was a Godsend for the elderly passengers who used the service every weekday morning. It gave them an opportunity to catch up on local gossip, a chance to chat and reminisce about their former lives. During the journey the regular driver Harry Spree often overheard the conversations and these gave his wife Elaine, disillusioned with her own life, an idea to become 'an agent' for some of these pensioners and their hidden talents.Eager to supplement their pensions, she persuaded a few to go long with her plan and, surprisingly, within weeks the new enterprise turned out to be quite a success and the participants were benefiting from this scheme. When the local crime lord wanted a piece of the action even this was accepted, albeit reluctantly by some.However, unfortunately, for the entrepreneurial group of pensioners there was also someone else taking an interest in their co-operative and, more troubling, their past lives.When a local author was found dead in her home it was initial classed an terrible accident but, as the police delved deeper, it became obvious that it was murder. Could there have been a connection between the killing, the passenger's on the yellow bus and the criminal underworld of the Silas Mister's organisation? As the truth started to unravel and hidden secrets were revealed, the list of potential suspects grew. The author's death may have been carried out on the 'spare of the moment' and the sudden disappearance of their regular driver be nothing more than the break-up of his marriage, yet these two separate incidents would change forever the lives of the pensioners. But however traumatic these were for the passengers on the yellow bus, it was nothing compared to the horror that was about to happen in a few week's time..
