The History Suite (#9 - The Craig Modern Thriller Series) - Plot & Excerpts
Eleanor Rudd had come from an abusive family where no-one had had the strength to leave but her. The word courage sprang to Craig’s mind but he dismissed it; it wasn’t a lack of courage that had kept Margie Rudd with her abusive husband but something else.In the beginning it was probably love; standing in front of a preacher and saying ‘till death do us part’, even if Billy Rudd hadn’t meant the ‘cherish’ part. Love had brought Margie Rudd to that point, love of a young man whose smile had made her blush and whose strong hands had seemed reassuring then, not the weapons they later became.What had made her stay after that? Duty? The public display of commitment and resolute words in church making her believe that it was her fault if her marriage failed? A belief no doubt reinforced by her husband’s accusations. ‘It’s your fault, you made me hit you’. ‘You brought this on yourself’. ‘Any man would have done it in my place’. Was that why she’d stayed? Duty and belief that it was all her fault?
