Hello goodreaders,
My name is Wendy Lewis.
I'm a true crime writer so I've researched and written about some quite gruesome subject matter over the last little while. Things like domestic homicide where partners kill partners or parents kill children or children kill parents; kidnappings; strangulations, burying bodies in the back yard...all sorts of things. For something completely different, I've Read more of this blog post »

Wendy Lewis liked an answer about The Owl Always Hunts at Night: Got a question about Ziggy... He was the son of the evil billionaire. Are we to think he was in on it too (since Jacob was his 'friend')? Or was he simply a nice young man? And what relationship did he have with the two children sent away - were they his step siblings or cousins??? Hope someone can answer these because it doesn't quite add up in my head. Thank you! Thanks for asking this question. Doesn't quite add up is an understatement for me. It's really not clear and seems just poorly written. Remco
