Not only that, but this title made me crazy for historical fiction about England in the deep past. I thought this book was exceptionally well-done. I hope it works for you!<br /><br />Judith (Reader in the Wilderness)Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-38917846947540116762015-07-23T22:46:50.444+01:002015-07-23T22:46:50.444+01:00Penny: Glad you enjoyed my new books post.

Forgive me for contacting you this way...Dear Cath,<br /><br />Forgive me for contacting you this way, but I am very new to the world of blogging and could not access your email. Having read your blog, I thought you might be interested in my debut mystery which takes you to India. <br /><br />My first mystery, "The Girl who went Missing," came out on April 23rd. It is set in Mumbai, India, and though it has mystery written all over it, there is a sliver of romance as well. I wrote it to entertain readers but at the same time I wanted to highlight a socially pressing topic. <br /><br />While it's never easy to convert a 245 page (89,616 words) novel into a few paragraphs, here is the synopsis: <br />When June Warner arrives in India to visit her sister Thalia, a trip to take her mind off her jilted engagement, she is greeted by the bright hot chaos of Mumbai but not her sister. She goes to the YMCA where Thalia is staying, only to find that she is not there.<br />Convinced that Thalia’s no-show is a sign that she is in danger, June begins a desperate search for her younger sister.<br />Police Commissioner Oscar D'Costa, scarred by the tragedies of his past, swears he will never again ignore his gut instinct when it comes to a missing girl. And with more and more dead foreign women being found in his precinct, he becomes convinced a conspiracy is at play.<br />Through the two worlds of American naiveté and Indian chaos, they must find the girl who went missing. <br />If this interests you, I would be delighted to send you a copy that is Kindle friendly. I do have some reviews on Goodreads and Amazon, if you choose to read them. Finally, I don't have a time frame for a review; you get to it when you get to it.<br /> <br />Thank you so much,<br />Ace Varkey<br />Amazon:<br />http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00WJBDQ22/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1429761715&sr=1-1&keywords=Ace+varkey+the+girl+who+went+missing<br />GR link:<br />https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25101394-the-girl-who-went-missing?from_search=true&search_exp_group=group_b<br />FB link:<br />https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ace-Varkey/979108745446338<br />Blog: <br />https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/13604423.Ace_Varkey/blog<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891402464475783602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-24770639843909050502015-07-22T01:20:45.788+01:002015-07-22T01:20:45.788+01:00How very lovely to see all of your new books, espe...How very lovely to see all of your new books, especially In Search of Scotland.
