Synopsis

In a pretty English market town, Dan Armitage, former war correspondent turned volunteer driver, meets Jaz, a sharp and fragrant lady, Murph, a retired psychologist, Trish, an Essex girl with a potty mouth, and Bill, an amateur comedian. An unlikely foursome who are all members of the same club. The staying alive club. They have just one rule. Stay positive and laugh in the face of adversity. On car trips to hospital, the five quickly become firm friends, promising to reunite in a year's time, if they’re all still here.

One thing stands in their way.

During a dramatic month, Dan witnesses a brutal beating that drags him into a web of crime. He finds himself held prisoner by a ruthless gang. Can his four new friends rescue him and and will they all survive to keep their promise?

If you like uplifting cosy mysteries, full of memorable characters, with a dash of crime and romance, then you'll love this heartwarming tale.
