Losing Lucy
Bob and Julie struggle through life without family, money or luck. Bob is a wheeler-dealer who steals what they need… and what they need is a baby.
When Bob takes baby Lucy from her pram, three women’s lives are changed in an instant.
Lydia is Lucy’s childminder. How was she to know that Bob would spot the pram in her garden? She was just giving the baby some air.
Gemma is Lucy’s mum. Feeling trapped by her marriage to an older man, she is seeking excitement in the arms of a lover when her baby disappears. Can she ever forgive Lydia - or herself?
Julie has never recovered from the sudden death of her young son. Miserable, neurotic, increasingly isolated, and immersing herself in barely suppressed sexual fantasy, everything changes when Bob brings home the one thing he believes can save her… Lucy. But is Julie capable of looking after a baby, and keeping her hidden and safe, when she is hardly able to look after herself?
As the search for Lucy intensifies and Bob mysteriously disappears, there is only one way out for Julie. With one baby already dead, is history about to repeat itself? Will anyone find Julie - and Lucy - before it’s too late?

After I downloaded your book Losing Lucy. I read it in two sittings.
At first I thought I would get confused over all the different characters, but it was the opposite. I loved the way it moved from one to the other. Even though I did not want to like Bob and his wife I felt bad for them, until of course I learnt the truth.
I found your characters to be believable and the plot a little scary because it happens, but I had to read on to discover who and why. My first thought was Tom, but I was wrong. Can you tell how much i enjoyed it. It gets a huge five stars from me.

I liked this book for the first half, it had real good potential but the ending was not only bizarre but a bit lazy.
