Revenge Plan. A Domestic Psychological Thriller
Village Lies – Book One in The Sasha Blue Mystery Series
One English Country Village - Two Missing Girls - Three Dead Bodies (so far…) – And loads of Poison Pen Letters.
Sasha Blue’s life is far from perfect – too many late nights, too much wine and pizza, and bad luck with men. As she scrapes a living solving missing dog cases and bad hair days, she dreams of one day opening her own detective agency.
When her niece goes missing in the English village of Parva Crossing, Sasha leaves London, and books herself into the local pub to put her detective skills to the test, with the help of attractive local artist, Cal.
Quaint and pretty at first glance, Parva Crossing, sliced in two by the Black River, has a darker underbelly of hidden secrets and lies, madness, crime, misunderstandings, and even murder.
Among its varied residents, Dorothy Newton spends her time spying on her neighbours from her windows, while her husband, George, worries obsessively about his elderly mother, all alone in her cottage. Mrs Pringle runs the local chemist, providing a running commentary on village scandals, not that she’s a gossip, mind… while Barbara Fenton sits alone in her garden, at night, seeking the bottom of a vodka bottle.
Sasha is determined to uncover the truth behind the cruel poison pen letters that someone is sending, and in doing so, finds out secrets that some residents thought were hidden for good. But would they stoop to murder to keep their past a secret? And why does it seem that two different people are sending the letters? Will the poisonous letters lead her and the police to her missing niece? Who keeps dumping bodies in the Black River? Does the village have more than one killer, or is there a serial killer in their midst?
Murder, mystery, romance, and light humour all weave their way through this psychological crime suspense thriller, as village lives are changed forever.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, and Sue Grafton.
Introducing Sasha Blue, London’s newest wannabee detective. Single, mid-thirties, and flawed, she’s many women’s relatable heroine. Village Lies is book one in The Sasha Blue Mystery Series.

Graphic Lies – Book Two in The Sasha Blue Mystery Series
@sashablue - So you think you’re a detective now - Let’s see how good you are - #findthegirl - #cansashasaveher
Someone’s
tagging Sasha Blue on her social media account and posting photos of a
bound and hooded woman. The scary thing is that some of the photos were
taken in Sasha’s own flat in Shepherd’s Bush... Are the photos genuine?
Who is the girl and could Sasha herself be a target?
Sasha’s
stalker builds up a following, with girls copying the poses in the
photos, and she knows that she must put a stop to it fast and find the
girl. As she investigates, Sasha becomes increasingly sure that she
knows who the woman in the photos is, but how can she find her, and who can she trust?
Maybe
the question she needs to ask herself is whether it’s ever possible to
tell if the photographs that people share of their lives are real or
whether some of them are lies?
Sasha finds herself turning to her friend’s ex-boyfriend, Miles, for support, as she struggles to stay one step ahead in this game of cat and mouse. Miles is hot, kind, and very attractive – could she have finally found a decent guy?
With another case to juggle, that of a missing wife, and her own battle with endometriosis hampering her efforts, Sasha finds herself in a race against time until she finally comes face to face with her stalker.
Things
turn deadly for Sasha as she finds herself in a situation she could
never have imagined and she must do everything within her power to save
herself.
From London to the wilds of a small Scottish island, this gripping psychological thriller will keep you guessing as rage, tragedy, past secrets and lies, romantic hopes, and some skilful detective work are thrown into the mix. Graphic Lies is the second book in the Sasha Blue Mystery Series.

Old Lies – Book Three in The Sasha Blue Mystery Series
%20JPG.jpg)
Who killed Dorothy Newton?
It’s been said that everyone has something to hide, and the residents of Meadowvale retirement home, on the outskirts of the village of Parva Crossing, are no exception, and neither, perhaps, are some of the relatives or staff...
But could one of them be a murderer?
This is the question that Sasha Blue, private investigator, asks herself as she leaves London behind and heads back to the quaint English village of Parva Crossing, in her hunt for a killer.
Newly
engaged to on-off boyfriend, Eric, Sasha is conflicted about her
feelings, especially when she resumes residence at The Spotted Dog pub,
only to find that Cal, the man she’d developed feelings for during her
last visit, has also returned.
The residents of Meadowvale are an
eclectic bunch – a writer, a retired accountant, a pair of spinster
sisters both vying for the attentions of an eligible, if somewhat
elderly, bachelor, a matriarchal figure obsessed with her
granddaughter’s society wedding, a fluttery romantic engaged to a fellow
resident, and an ex-florist – and Sasha finds herself becoming
increasingly fond of them as she immerses herself into their lives, both
past and present.
But everybody lies…
Sasha must investigate old lives, and uncover old lies,
in order to discover why Dorothy Newton was murdered, and is certain
that the answer lies within the clues that Dorothy has left behind,
hidden in the most extraordinary of places, but her investigation is
complicated by the suspicion that there is someone in the village who
wishes her harm, or possibly more than one person…
Secrets,
greed, love affairs, both old and new, a good dose of mystery, another
murder (or is that two?), and light humour, all weave their way through
this traditional English whodunit where, it begins to seem to Sasha,
just about anyone could be the killer…
Old Lies is
book three in The Sasha Blue Mystery Series and readers of the series
will be delighted to be reunited with some of the much-loved characters from book one, Village Lies. Old Lies is inspired by the author’s great love for Agatha Christie and her hugely enjoyable crime stories.
Although
each book may be read as a standalone there are ongoing connections
between the stories which make them more enjoyable when read as a
series.

‘There’s so much blood… it’s everywhere… you’ve got to help me…’
Skipping Christmas in Holly Crescent
Pour yourself a cup of tea, settle down in front of the fire, and join Mary and Archie Nugent, at number nine Holly Crescent, as they skip Christmas this year.
Their three grown-up children are all
busy with their own plans for Christmas Day - Richard’s taken his young
wife away on holiday, Susan’s busy with her new boyfriend, and Helen’s
life is one big whirl of parties and lunches out.
But are they all as perfectly happy as their parents believe them to be?
Feeling
unwanted and a little lonely, Mary and Archie convince themselves that
it will be best to skip the whole madness of Christmas and spend a quiet
day at home together. No dragging out the old Christmas tree and
putting up decorations, or rushing around the crowded shops for
last-minute shopping.
But the best-laid plans can have a way
of going wrong, so will the couple find that skipping Christmas is not
as easy as it sounds? Especially with an unexpected arrival, by
taxi, on their doorstep, and with Mary’s inability to stop herself from
inviting lonely strangers and neighbours, new and old, into their
home...
As waifs and strays, including a puppy, gather in their home, new friendships are made, stories are shared, and drama comes knocking at their door, more than once. And amidst the happy chaos, there might just be love in the air, quite a sprinkling of it…
Mary’s and Archie’s plan of skipping Christmas might not have turned out quite as they’d planned, but maybe, in the end, it turned out to be exactly what Christmas is all about.
Sometimes the spirit of Christmas has a way of working its magic even if you’re not looking for it.
The
perfect uplifting festive read, promising trials and tribulation, tears
and laughter, and love and friendship, with a sprinkling of snowfall,
humour, and seasonal romance.
For fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain, Carole Matthews, and Milly Johnson.
