Gina Kirkham Libros
La escritura de Gina ofrece una exploración humorística pero conmovedora de la vida, el amor y la carrera de una mujer común que se atrevió a seguir su sueño. Basándose en sus experiencias como oficial de policía y su propia búsqueda de la pieza perdida de su infancia, crea historias ricas en crecimiento personal y autodescubrimiento. Su voz narrativa, moldeada tanto por recuerdos de juventud como por los giros inesperados de la vida, ofrece una perspectiva única sobre cómo superar desafíos y encontrar la realización. La génesis de su alter ego, Mavis Upton, añade una capa cautivadora a sus narrativas centradas en los personajes.
Constable Mavis Upton is back, and this time she's taking no prisoners - which is never ideal for a police officer... Mavis is pregnant, as is her daughter Ella. Facing the prospect of motherhood and being a grandmother simultaneously, the last thing Mavis needs is problems at work. She must contend with a new sexist dinosaur of a Sergeant who is more bully than mentor, and a mysterious case involving a blackmailer sending poison pen letters is baffling the force and tearing the local community apart. Can Mavis juggle impending motherhood and her career, maintain a loving relationship with her other half Joe and deal with being a grandmother, all while solving the case? Well, this is Constable Mavis Upton...literally, anything is possible...
It's a quiet English village--except for one crazed murderer--in this delightful romp by the author of the Constable Mavis Upton series. Librarian Prunella Pearce has left heartbreak behind to start a new life in the village of Winterbottom, where there's little social life to be had aside from the meetings of The Winterbottom Women's Institute at the parish hall. But a bit of excitement ensues when the group is about to elect a new president--and the nominees for the position begin dropping like flies. One is found facedown in a lemon drizzle cake, stabbed with a crochet needle. Another nearly dies spectacularly in the revolving doors of a Harrogate hotel. When Pru and her friend Bree agree to do some undercover snooping to help the police, little do they know that one of the Winterbottom women is hiding a scandalous secret . . .
