'After the ceremony, Rory organised group photographs at the water's edge. Lisa tossed her bouquet, and after a playful scuffle between Finty and Charles, it was caught by the heavenly Celia. Before heading to Tempurus Beach Bar for a sumptuous Portuguese sit-down celebratory, everybody turned to face the sea. With the temperatures soaring, some threw themselves into the surf while others paddled.'

A Quirky Murder Mystery


The Secret Lives of the Doyenne of Didsbrook 
We would never judge a book by it's cover, so why would we assume we know someone well, just because they face the world with a smile? 

Some people harbour secrets best left buried in the past, but their inevitable resurfacing is only ever a heartbeat away. The secret keeper craves absolution and the need to confess, but they should be wary of to whom they choose to reveal the truth and remember why they decided to bury the truth in the first place.

Who killed, Jocelyn Robertshaw, The Doyenne of Didsbrook?

Other Reviews
"A very heartwarming and thought-provoking story about finding happiness: discovering who you are, letting go of toxicity, and choosing whom to keep in your circle. The explosive interactions between Lisa and her narcissistic mother painted a vivid picture of their toxic relationship and provided a stark contrast when compared to Lisa's relationship with Arthur and Will. I loved seeing how much Lisa grew throughout the book as she discovered more about herself: who she was and what she wanted and needed. An excellent read! Highly recommended!"
