Snakes and Ladders
(2025)(The third book in the Lucy Williams Cosy Mystery series)
A novel by Tia Brown
Lucy Williams works very hard to seem like a work from home mum, but the truth is that she isn’t even Lucy Williams. Once, she had another name, and a husband she loved very much who was her partner. Now he’s dead from cancer and she’s living under cover while doing research for the department of British Intelligence where she used to work. To stay safe and keep her daughter Gracie safe, she has to seem to be inconspicuous so the last thing she needs is a multiple accident close to home.
Only that’s not quite true. The last thing she needs is for it not to be an accident and for her past to be coming back to haunt her, along with a new partner that she fancies as much as she does a local police officer. They both seem to fancy her too and she may be about to get what she thought she wanted and now she’s not so sure.
How can she work out what you wants? Can she find a murderer and keep her best friend safe without giving the truth away? And will her daughter’s class have a teacher when she goes back to school at the end of the summer holidays? Her old life and her new one intertwine so it’s just as well that she has got such an unusual skillset.
