They came for a break and landed in 1986.
Previously published as Can You Hear Me In The Back? by Jessica DK Jackson (the author's pen name)Lisette prides herself on being the kind of travel agent who plans for everything – except this. When she and her new colleague, Kim, jet off to Cyprus for a routine business trip with a side of sunshine, Lisette is more than ready to switch off after seven relentless months at work. But somewhere between take-off and touchdown, their perfectly planned escape takes an unexpected turn.
At their hotel, nothing quite adds up – the décor is decades out of date, euros are useless, their bank cards won’t work''' and their phones are dead. Worst of all, the mirror reveals a shocking truth: Lisette and Kim are no longer themselves – at least, not as they were. Somehow, impossibly, they’ve been flung back to the summer of 1986. Stranded in a world without Wi-Fi, money, or any obvious way home, their ‘holiday’ quickly becomes a lesson in survival. Before long, the pair find themselves dabbling in petty crime, navigating questionable romances, and confronting the ghosts – and fashions — of the past. Yet amid the chaos, a mystery remains to unravel: how – and why – did they end up here?
Warm, witty, and delightfully nostalgic, this cosy mystery blends time-slip intrigue with sharp humour and heart. As Lisette and Kim discover, sometimes the biggest detours lead you exactly where you need to be – even if it’s 1986.
