Last Word

All of a sudden and as if by magic, HIDDEN is available on Amazon, as paperback and on Kindle.

Here is the blurb:-

It’s 1988 in England, and Florence has decided to retire from her longtime nursing career. Fancying herself a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, she takes a job as assistant in a one-man private investigator’s office. Tired of answering the phone and filing, she’s desperate to solve a real case. The opportunity finally arrives when her friend Andrea suspects her husband, Geoffrey, is having an affair. 

Florence works diligently to get to the bottom of Geoffrey’s strange behaviour and disappearing acts, even involving her reluctant boss, but comes up empty. However, Geoffrey’s secret is revealed to Andrea following a shocking event that changes both their lives forever. 

Hidden is equal parts cosy mystery and domestic drama, and explores the secrets we keep from others—and ourselves—and how much we allow others to see, even those closest to us.  

 I feel that this blog has drawn to a close. It is a year since I moved France. I have no regrets. I don’t think I will ever tire of the mountains, the bright blue sea and the sunshine. I am still battling bureaucracy but I’m told that, if I am patient, at some point in the near or distant future, it will all fall into place. My understanding of the French language has increased beyond measure, but words when spoken by me, still come out in a mumbled jumble. I'll get there.

I have settled into life in Menton, I volunteer at and am on the committee for St John’s English library and I’ve taken on the role as safeguarding officer at St John’s church. But I still have plenty of time to enjoy the town and the surrounding area, to walk, swim, garden and of course to write.
