The second book in the Loraine Quick series.
Yorkshire, 1983.
Margaret Thatcher is in Number 10, ‘Thriller’ is on the radio and Lorraine
Quick is having to put plans to tour with her band on hold due to work. With
her expertise in psychometric testing, she is being sent to the Yorkshire moors
to build a PR-friendly team out of the ragtag staff of the infamous Windwell
Asylum as it transitions into a modern, top-security unit housing some of the
most dangerous criminals in the country.
And then Lorraine
stumbles on a brutal murder that has taken place despite the fifteen-foot-high
perimeter wall and the heavy-duty locks. Between the asylum’s lingering
reputation for violence, the haunting underground tunnels of the old
institution and the arrival of almost-old flame DS Diaz to investigate the
murder, events are coming to a head for Lorraine.
Martine Bailey entered cookery
contest with no idea it would lead to a life-changing obsession with French
cuisine. As an amateur cook, Martine won the Merchant Gourmet Recipe Challenge
and was a former UK Dessert Champion, cooking at Le Meurice in Paris. Inspired
by eighteenth-century household books of recipes, An Appetite for Violets
invites readers to feast on the past as a sharp-witted young cook is taken on a
mysterious trip to Italy. In pursuit of authenticity Martine studied with food
historian Ivan Day and experienced Georgian food and fashion at first-hand with
an historic re-enactment society. Martine lives in Cheshire, England and
Auckland, New Zealand. She is married with one son.
The Almanack is her latest book.
