A missing man. His (very) pretty wife. Andy’s got this under control… or has she?

The Flourishing

When Andy Campbell, Detective Inspector in Leicester, gets assigned the case of Mr. Parryโ€™s disappearance, she expects to find nothing else than an umpteenth marriage ruined by a husband taking off with his mistress.

Instead, she ends up investigating a murder case and struggling to fight her attraction for the wife of the missing man. When she realises the feelings are mutual, things definitely get complicatedโ€ฆ

A secret, forbidden relationship caught in the middle of a murder investigation… Can it become something more?

The book has a beautiful diversity of characters, and I loved the integration of a compelling crime/mystery plot together with a sweet and heartfelt queer romance. The world needs more stories like this!

With romance and suspense woven together, I loved every nail-biting and heart-melting moment. I felt every single word right in my stomach. Merlina Garance knows words; knows how to pack a punch in the subtlest but most beautiful of ways.

A brisk and charming read, effortless to pick up and difficult to put down. My only lament is that the next one’s not ready for me to devour next!
