Friends & Lovers




The irresistible new novel from the author of Annie's New Life ...

Is there such a thing as just good friends...?

When a long-distance phone call summons private investigator Annie McHugh's lover and business partner, Gerry, across the Atlantic Annie's left in charge. She's been looking forward to being in the hot-seat for so long but it seems as if someone doesn't want her to succeed. And what's more, the infuriating but intriguing Sizemore has been brought in to help her investigate a dodgy insurance claim. He's got brains as well as brawn but Annie's determined to prove she's perfectly capable of managing on her own. Or is she?

With a case that's proving harder to crack than a high-security safe, dirty phone calls, errant colleagues and Sizemore clamped to her side Annie faces her greatest challenge yet ...

Praise for Friends & Lovers

Quirky plot twists, interesting characters and some hilarious situations make for an enjoyable read

RTE Guide

Friends & Lovers is fast paced and funny. I couldn't help becoming addicted to this slightly daft PI and her unusual approach to investigating
