Three Widows by Patricia Gibney

Patricia is the author of the DI Lottie Parker series, which has sold over a million copies. After reading Enid Blyton and Carolyn Keene, she aspired to be a writer and even wanted to be Nancy Drew when she grew up. She's grown up (she thinks), but the only time she's come close to Nancy Drew is when she's writing crime! Patricia is fascinated by individuals and their quirks, and she always keeps a notebook with her to scribble down observations. She lives in the Irish midlands with her children and paints in watercolour.
