Reading one of SWMBO's crime novels.
The victim is murdered by cutting a car brake line. Though it was a pre dual circuit car I reckon I would know the instant I wnet to start the engine there was a fault as I always put my foot on the brake. Even without that, there are few circumstance wher nor having a foot brake would kill you. I can't think of a single way to sabotage a car to guarantee death short of explosives.
Stupid plot. These authors must be like journalists, thick as shit.
