Description
She kissed her daughter, turned out the light and entered her own room. Too late to run, she stood frozen as a figure stepped out from behind the door and a hand covered her mouth. Fear was a bomb in her chest ready to explode. Her children. They'd already lost their daddy; they couldn't lose her too.
When young widow Eilis disappears in the middle of the night, it is a chilling case for Detective Lottie Parker. Since her husband's death, Eilis is all her children have, and Lottie is terrified for the mother's safety.
Then Eilis's body is found wrapped in an unfamiliar yellow dress, and Lottie's fears are confirmed.
Desperate for answers, Lottie discovers that Eilis was a member of a support group for widows. And when Jennifer, a friend of Eilis's from the group, is found on a rubbish heap, Lottie vows to get justice.
Lottie learns that Jennifer had lived a reclusive life since her husband died, emerging only for group meetings. But when Lottie questions the other women about Jennifer they fall silent.
Lottie knows the widows are hiding something. Can she uncover the truth?

Person
Patricia is the million-copy bestselling author of the DI Lottie Parker series. She yearned to be a writer after reading Enid Blyton and Carolyn Keene and even wanted to be Nancy Drew when she grew up. She has now grown up (she thinks) but the closest she's come to Nancy Drew is writing crime!
In 2009, after her husband died, she retired from her job and started writing seriously. Fascinated by people and their quirky characteristics, she always carries a notebook to scribble down observations.
Patricia also loves to paint in watercolour and lives in the Irish midlands with her children.
