Finding Lucy

by Sue Towler

James was handsome, successful, wealthy. Lucy was besotted. When he offered her an all-expenses paid trip to a luxury lodge in an isolated part of New Zealand's beautiful Marlborough Sounds, she didn't hesitate. This decision would test her survival skills to the limit and open her eyes to a world she never knew existed.

The contrast between Lucy's blind faith and the harsh reality she walks into sets the stage for a tense and eye-opening experience. You can sense the psychological layers trust, manipulation, isolation, and the chilling realization that love can sometimes lead you into dangerous territory.

This book appeals to fans of domestic thrillers, psychological suspense, or women’s fiction with a dark twist. If you enjoy stories where paradise turns into something far more sinister, Finding Lucy promises a compelling, thought-provoking ride.

5 Star – Atmospheric, unsettling, and emotionally resonant. Review by 'Derick'

About the author

I've been writing for most of my life in one form or another — but it took me thirteen years and thirteen rewrites before I finally published my first novel.

Since then, I've written eleven books, with another one due out soon. They include novels, short stories, travel stories, novellas and a children's book. Some stories come quickly, while others take years, but all of them are written for the same reason: a love of storytelling.

My life in New Zealand, along with my frequent trips to Australia, has influenced my writing over the years. The New Zealand high country and the Australian Outback are special places that make my heart sing. The stunning beauty of these varied landscapes often finds its way into my work.

When I'm not writing, I'm crafting, reading and getting involved in the community in one way or another.

My most successful novel, Isolation, was inspired by a true story and reflects my own family's connection to the early New Zealand settlers — a project that remains especially close to my heart.

These days, I continue to write, publish and explore new ideas — because stories, like life, are always evolving.

The pages that follow are the stories behind the stories I write. Each one has its own unique tale to tell.
