Sinossi

The Cornish summer burns hotter than it has in 15 years – but beneath the sunshine, something sinister stirs.
When eco-architect Olivia Parkes unveils her latest project – a cliffside manor reborn as a luxury eco-hotel – she expects acclaim, not chaos. And the return of her partner Jago Trevithick KC, a brilliant but broken barrister, who is seeking peace by the sea.
But peace is short-lived. A waitress is found dead in the hotel pool.
Who wanted her gone – and why?
Has the dark side of Jago's work followed him to Cornwall?
Or is someone close to Olivia hiding deadly secrets?
As whispers spread through the sun-bleached village, Olivia and Jago must uncover the truth before the tide turns red again.
In a paradise built on lies and long-buried sin, can love – or anyone – survive the truth?

    In the small town of Wonderland, Wyoming, the truth is whatever the Coldwater family says it is. When their prodigal daughter, Jessica, was murdered forty years ago, their truth was that Holly Prine killed her—regardless of Holly's innocence. 
     
     
     
    But the Coldwaters aren't the only reason private investigator Quinn Cuthridge hasn't set foot in the town in nearly a decade. After her aunt sent her away when she was a teen, Quinn swore she'd never return. When she gets an unexpected call from her aunt's ranch hand, Hunter, Quinn learns that her aunt has gone missing. Reluctantly, she returns to Wyoming to investigate and soon realizes that her aunt was getting dangerously close to long-buried Wonderland secrets, including who really murdered Jessica Coldwater. 
     
     
     
    As Hunter and Quinn dig into what lies in the Wyoming backcountry, attraction flares between the two women, complicating their investigation—and Quinn's steadfast refusal to have any ties to Wonderland. With someone threatening Quinn and her own dark past echoing in the present, Quinn must struggle against her hometown and herself to find the truth in this rich queer mystery.

    Whisper of Hope Cry of Despair

    This book is the autobiography of the author. It began, however, as a biography of the author’s mother, which allowed Vicky to write about American society in the mid-to-late twentieth century; experiences of Slavic, French, and East Indian immigrants at the United States around the turn of the twentieth century; child and spouse abuse perpetrated by women as well as men and the effects of intergenerational abuse; and murder and suicide. 
    The author hopes to educate people about the American poor in the twentieth century and to broaden people’s perspective on American life. Not all Americans had the benefits of understanding mainstream American culture and society as well as knowing the language of the nation and having a supportive family. Perhaps this book could help us all understand present-day immigrants as well. 
    Vicky Bedi is a talented musician who has been a church organist for most of her life. She is also a talented artist and designs many of her own clothes. Aside from her childhood Vicky has been influenced throughout her life by spirituality, friends, and pets. Whisper of Hope, Cry of Despair is her first book.
