Alex Martin Cozy MysterY Book 2
by Lucy Lyons
December 1999. Alex Martin has put the Finding Machine into storage. All she wants is a quiet life. But when a panicked teen phones for help on the coldest night of the year, Alex dusts off the machine and breaks every rule in the book to save him.
In an instant, her life is thrown into chaos, she’s fired from the job she loves, and her relationship with Antony is stretched to breaking point.
The rescue attracts the attention of Detective Henry Longhurst, who is intrigued by Alex’s method of finding people. He wants her help to catch an elusive murderer who keeps changing his identity. But there’s a problem—the finding machine is glitching and could stop working any moment.
With the new Millennium around the corner, Alex must race against the clock to fix her heart and find the faceless villain before he strikes again. Tick Tock.
The Finding Machine
Alex Martin Cozy MysterY Book 1
by Lucy Lyons
One grey, winter morning, Alex inherits a mysterious invention from her late father. The Finding Machine solves mysteries. And contains a big one, too. The question is...why did her dad build it, and who was he trying to find?
It’s 1998, and Alex Martin’s life is falling apart. She’s fast approaching the big 3-0, with her dreams of making it as an artist in shreds. Her handsome housemate Antony’s moving on to better things while she’s stuck in a dead-end job, touch-typing for a living like a 1950s pool secretary.
The Finding Machine changes everything. But the biggest mystery of all lies deep within its wiring — the unsolved disappearance of a little girl, dating back seventy years.
What happened to the girl, all those years ago? Who was she?
Alex is going to need Antony’s help if she’s to join the dots and solve the case. But as dark family secrets are revealed, will the Finding Machine bring them together…or push them further apart?
