And How Does That Make You Feel?

A novelist writing a tell-all memoir, a society beauty asking for help, an international explorer in danger. This is one for Posie Parker!

Summer, 1921.

Newly successful Private Detective Posie Parker was about to enjoy a restful summer. Think again!

Invited by society beauty Lady Violet Boynton-Dale to her ancestral home, Boynton Hall, to investigate dangerous threats which are being made against her brother, the dashing Explorer Alaric Boynton-Dale, Posie leaves London for the sun-dappled beauty of the Cotswolds. She finds that Boynton Hall is a place of opulent grandeur, but also of dark secrets, not least that Alaric is a man with jilted lovers and jealous husbands left trailing in his wake.

Garden parties and formal dinners abound, but a brooding mood persists. Why does the host, Lord Roderick Boynton-Dale, resent Posie’s presence at his home? And why does the resident novelist, Dame Ianthe Flowers, relish the poisonous atmosphere? Is Dame Ianthe simply looking for material for her new book, or, as she implies to Posie, does she have secret knowledge to impart?

But when Ianthe is found murdered, and the manuscript to her new book is nowhere to be found, Scotland Yard is called in to investigate. Meanwhile, Alaric himself has also vanished, and Posie uncovers a cryptic clue he has left behind.
Posie’s investigation to find Alaric takes her through the glamorous South of France, on to the mysterious Italian island of Ortigia, and then into the Tombs of the Pharaohs in Egypt.

But is Posie being followed by a cold-blooded killer? Where has Len Irving, her almost-boyfriend, disappeared to? And is her interest in Alaric purely professional, or is she falling under his charming spell?

In every family, there is one secret that could change everything, and one person who knows the whole story.

On his 23rd birthday, Charlie Fletcher tells his dying mother that he’s gay. In return, she reveals a long-hidden truth, one so powerful it will cast a shadow over the lives of Charlie and his brothers and sisters for decades to come.

The Fletchers are a family with more than their fair share of skeletons in the closet, and as one of their most closely guarded secrets is finally revealed, what other revelations could be waiting? A photograph of a young boy at Christmas, a letter sealed for more than twenty years, and a dark truth that threatens to tear the family apart.

From the windswept coast of Southend-on-Sea to the golden light of Gran Canaria, each of the five Fletcher children must face their own challenges, when they reach the fateful age of 23.

The summer season is on the way, and the small Irish community of Lakeview is braced and ready. The weather is warm, days long and bright and Ella, the proprietor of the town’s ever-popular Heartbreak Cafe, is looking forward to tidying up the patio area, dusting off the outdoor seating and welcoming the first of the summer visitors, whose arrival always creates some drama…

Grace likes the idea of spending summer days in a pretty summer cottage by the lake, but she’s not so enamoured of being there alone with four-old twin boys in tow. Her husband is much better at managing them, but he needs to stay on in Dublin for work. Can she cope on her own?

Author Sam is in town to finish his hotly-anticipated new novel. But he can’t help getting distracted by Lakeview’s many charms; pretty waitress Nina in particular.

Marianne hopes that lazy days of summer might help husband Donal forget about the pressures of work. But when he ends up paying more attention to his laptop than to her, she realises something has to give.

Can Ella’s wisdom and friendship help her visitors better enjoy their summer days?
