Primavera 1970. Nell'università del Sussex si sta tenendo un dibattito sulle pari opportunità per le donne. Ma quando un partecipante al dibattito scompare, l'attenzione si sposta dalle ingiustizie sociali a qualcosa di più inquietante.
Sembra che ognuno del gruppo abbia qualcosa da nascondere e, quando accade una seconda tragedia, due dei partecipanti: l'investigatrice dilettante Janie Juke, e la giornalista Libby Frobisher sono pronte ad essere impopolari pur di far venire fuori la verità. Chi sta mentendo? E perché'?
In contemporanea alle indagini della polizia, Janie e Libby sono determinate ad ottenere risposte dalle bocche serrate del gruppo, trovandosi in una corsa contro il tempo per evitare che ci sia un'altra vittima.
About the author
Isabella is never happier than when she is immersing herself in the sights, sounds and experiences of the 1960s. Researching all aspects of family life back then formed the perfect launch pad for her works of fiction. Isabella rediscovered her love of writing fiction during two happy years working on and completing her MA in Professional Writing and since then has gone to publish five novels, two novellas and a short story collection.
Her first Sussex Crime Mystery series features young librarian and amateur sleuth, Janie Juke. Set in the late 1960s, in the fictional seaside town of Tamarisk Bay, we meet Janie, who looks after the mobile library. She is an avid lover of Agatha Christie stories - in particular Hercule Poirot – using all she has learned from the Queen of Crime to help solve crimes and mysteries. As well as three novels, there are three novellas in the series, which explore some of the back story to the Tamarisk Bay characters.
Her latest novel, Crossing the Line, is the first of a new series of Sussex Crimes, featuring retired Italian detective, Giuseppe Bianchi who arrives in the quiet seaside town of Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, to find a dead body on the beach and so the story begins…
Isabella's standalone novel, The Forgotten Children, deals with the emotive subject of the child migrants who were sent to Australia - again focusing on family life in the 1960s, when the child migrant policy was still in force.
