So very yes. Editing my first book, HARD NEWS, for a reprint to celebrate its 30th anniversary next summer reminded me of the truth of this.

Look carefully for this copy at the top of Hopetoun Street in Bathgate this afternoon.

The Book Fairies are thrilled to be sharing a nail-biting crime novel around the UK today - look out for coastal spots in particular for this one! Who will be lucky enough to find a copy, and to learn the truth of Lottie Martini’s family?

About the book:

You thought she was safe. You were wrong…

Alex knows her daughter would never wander off in a strange place. So when her three-year-old vanishes from an idyllic beach wedding, Alex immediately believes the worst.

The hunt for Lottie quickly becomes a world-wide search, but it’s not long before suspicion falls on her mother. Why wasn’t she watching Lottie?

Alex knows she’s not perfect, but she loves her child. And with all eyes on her, Alex fears they’ll never uncover the truth unless she takes matters into her own hands.

Who took Lottie Martini? And will she ever come home?
