The Girl With No Name
Thieving, swindling, controlling ... that's Irene's stepfather. Her mother showers her little girl with abuse and neglect instead of love, and Irene spends her childhood in utter deprivation and hardship. And for some inexplicable reason her mother will not tell her who her real father is. Will she ever be able to find out for herself? Luckily Irene has a safe haven with her loving auntie and uncle, but when they move away she is left alone to fend for herself in a family where she just doesn't fit in. Irene resolves to leave her horrible family behind, and her determination to escape what life has thrown at her leads her to a dream career as a nurse. Her confidence grows, and her ambition of carving out her own future is boosted by a good nose for a property deal. And might she find happiness in love when she least expects it?

Reflections
There are many types and sources of reflections. We have windowpanes, glass panels, any highly polished surface, mirrors, the smooth surface of water and of course the most powerful of all, our reflective thoughts. In the spring of 1926,on a large and profitable estate, called Tumby Hall in the English West Mid-lands, Lady Matilda Gregson has died from a lingering illness at the age of 71. At the same time a murder is witnessed and over the ensuing weeks the killer is pushed and dragged to a resolution. Several people who are touched by this death, employ different forms of reflections to help them make sense of their situation and perhaps to help them find justice. Characters travel through the story with their daily lives, but unavoidable points of contact with others affected by this death lead to paranoia, deceit, threats being made and eventually to another death ... or murder. Will justice be done?
