    So she’s signed up to an exclusive new dating app and cannot wait. But when one of the founding investors in that same dating app drops dead in front of fellow Village Detective Phoebe in a nearby hotel – and then a second investor is found hanging in the local cricket pavilion just days later – Juno knows she’ll have to put her love life on hold. 
    Teaming up once more with Phoebe, Felix and Mil… the Village Detectives are back. And this time Juno – who’d thought she was getting under the covers with a new lover – is going undercover to catch a killer…

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
