THE LOCKED ROOM MYSTERIES
Sabina Manea
Three brilliant whodunits featuring a sassy amateur sleuth.
Meet Lucia Steer. If you’re wrong, she’ll tell you. And this frequently happens to long-suffering police detective DCI David Carliss.
When in Book 1 Lucia gets involved in a murder inquiry, her quick wits and inquisitive nature prove invaluable to the bumbling police team. But woe betide them if they thought they’d seen the last of her. Unable to keep her nose out of a crime scene, she joins the force as a civilian investigator. Can anyone get away with murder now in bohemian north London?
Working alongside David, her ability to solve seemingly impossible crimes makes Lucia indispensable, yet although chalk and cheese, might there also be a romance brewing between the tough cop and thwarty sleuth?
