Cover Reveal - Missing Believed Dead by Chris Longmuir


 
Brook Cottage Books is thrilled to reveal the cover for another fabulous book by Chris Longmuir - Missing Believed Dead. Desperate to find out a little more about the book before my review on 2nd July? Read on........
 

About the book:

Missing children! Internet predators! Dead bodies! 


She crossed his arms over his chest, and placed the jade beads in his eyes. ‘To remind you of me,’ she said. 


Jade was 13 when she disappeared, five years ago, and DS Bill Murphy suspects someone from her family is responsible for recent Dundee murders. But is it her mother, Diane, who now suffers from OCD? Or Emma, her twin sister, who was catatonic for a year after Jade’s disappearance. Or Jade’s brother, Ryan, who enjoys dressing in women’s clothes and is going through a sexuality crisis, unsure whether or not he is gay. 


What happened to Jade? Is she alive or dead? Or has she returned to wreak a terrible revenge on all male predators?
 

The book will be officially launched on the 11th July and you are invited to meet Chris Longmuir herself! The book will be available to purchase on 1st July!


  

Author Bio

Chris Longmuir was born in Wiltshire and now lives in Angus. Her family moved to Scotland when she was two. After leaving school at fifteen, Chris worked in shops, offices, mills and factories, and was a bus conductor for a spell, before working as a social worker for Angus Council (latterly serving as Assistant Principal Officer for Adoption and Fostering). 

Chris is an award winning novelist and has published three novels in her Dundee Crime Series.

Her crime novels are set in Dundee, Scotland, and have been described as scary, atmospheric, page turners.

Writing is like an addiction to me, Chris says, I go into withdrawals without it. She is currently working on a further 2 crime novels.

  2. Thank you so much for featuring my new novel. If I hadn't written it, I would have been tempted to read it. I'm off now to press all the buttons to get the paperback and ebook online, just to make sure Amazon have it available for my readers on Monday, which is the first of July.
