Might be a bit domestic for you? (and by that I do NOT mean cozy!)

The Hours Before Dawn is the time of the completely exhaustive mother of multiple young children/babies. The Long Shadow is the time of the recently widowed woman and Appointment with Yesterday is the time of woman whose husband has left her for another woman. Each time of course there is an appropriate mystery weaved in.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616800837907092489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-90763766456240078882019-12-23T14:42:51.633-08:002019-12-23T14:42:51.633-08:00I have not read anything by this author either.
