Night Driver- Marcelle Perks

Frannie is learning to drive whilst heavily pregnant so that when the baby arrives she

is not stuck in the village with no shops or cafes. She is in a foreign country and

although can understand some of the language it doesn’t come easy to her. Frannie

and her husband Kurt appear to have grown apart since she fell pregnant and he

doesn’t appear to care what happens to her- as is shown when having her final

driving lesson before her test. She hates and is frightened of driving when it’s busy

so once she gets her licence she finds the best time to drive is at night when the

road’s are clearer.  She finds a friend searching for his sister and so gets inveigle into

a web- a web she can’t see her way out of. There are occasional words in German

which I felt could have done with a translation even if just the once. Some I got the

gist of, others I had to guess. There are some dark scenes of sex and violence -

not my cup of tea. A story of deceit and murders, of lies and lives. Of the good in

someone wanting to help their fellow man.

Synopsis:

Heavily pregnant Frannie is facing a crisis. An English woman living in Germany, her marriage is failing, her language skills are hopeless, and she feels like a fish out of water in a foreign country.

In a positive effort to tackle her problems she learns to drive so she can cope when her baby is born and build a sense of independence. After passing her driving test she drives in the early hours of the morning to gain experience on the eerily empty streets.

But when she encounters a Polish motorcyclist looking for his missing sister, she becomes sucked into a terrifying world of shady nightclubs, autobahn prostitutes and organ trafficking. And when she crosses serial-killing truck driver Stigelegger, there's no turning back.

A most unlikely heroine, this nervous Night Driver must stay one step ahead of her pursuer on the darkest of roads in order to survive.
