Book Description

A woman’s body has been found laid out on the local green area. She is perfectly attired, wearing a vintage dress and high-heeled shoes, and her hair is fanned out around her head, like a halo. The empty gin bottle in her hand jars with this otherwise saintly presentation, or is that just what the murderer wants everyone to think?


For Detective Inspector Gar Thompson, it’s an unfortunately familiar sight. He is still haunted by the almost identical scenes of two years ago in the same area. The murders of two young mothers remain unsolved. Has the Gin Mummy murderer returned to leafy South Blackstone?


There’s only one other detective who knows as much about these unsolved murders as he does. Gar will have to recall his friend, Dr. Matt Sherlock, from retirement to help him with this new case. Will the recently widowed Matt be ready for the challenge?


The investigation team has a monumental task ahead of them. Where do you begin when there are no suspects and no obvious connection between the women? The young mothers of Blackstone will have to be vigilant yet again.

Helena Joyce was born in Stretford, grew up in Galway and now lives in Dublin with her two sons. She wrote this novel to fulfil an aspiration of her late husband to write a crime novel.
