Publisher's Summary

A mysterious advert in a newspaper promising to restore hope to the hopeless brings together four strangers.

None realising they will end up investigating a twisted and troubling crime that threatens their very futures.

Mitch, a former Crime Scene Investigator, Olivia, a brilliant PhD student, and Florence, a middle-aged solicitor, find themselves working with an enigmatic newspaper Editor who refers to himself only as Ed.

But when Maddie, a teenage girl, disappears in sinister circumstances, the team is drawn into the hunt for her. And when a neighbour’s body is discovered in a pool of blood, they realise they must use their unique skills in a race against time. 

But can they solve the mystery before it’s too late? And before Ed’s shadowy past overcomes them all?

The Editor is an accomplished and truly compelling crime mystery which will engross you from the outset until its thrilling conclusion. If you are a fan of authors like Susan Lewis, Erin Kinsley or J.R. Ellis, you'll love this stunning thriller.

unexpected

Well. That was a bit unexpected. The Editor was a gentle, almost sweet, slow moving mystery without a whole lot of tension or high stakes. Or even mystery. But that's OK. It was more, in my opinion, of a rumination on hope and on persisting with life even when things are bleak. The writing was not bad, just a bit cute for my taste, and the characters were interesting and fairly well deceloped (but for the kind of weird "X is a spy [??] subplot that I'm still not fully sure of).
It was a nice, gentle, relaxing and definitely positive read.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
