Stella Ryman and the Search for Thelma Hu

The Fairmount Manor Mysteries: Book 3

Published Copy

Blurb

Mrs Stella Ryman is an amateur sleuth, trapped in a down-at-heel care home. You’d be cranky, too.

Octogenarian sleuth Stella Ryman returns to investigate a perplexing care home mystery that precipitates the disappearance of her closest friend, the fragile and fierce Thelma Hu.

The Greek Chorus spell out Thelma’s doom: “Those who leave Fairmount seldom return.”

Stella’s only hope to find Thelma and bring her home, is to escape Fairmount Manor and head out alone, armed with her wiles and the resilience born of long experience—through the big city that she never thought she’d see again.

Author

Mel Anastasiou loves her writing life in St Albans in the UK and on Bowen Island in BC. She writes mysteries, mostly starring older sleuths who are often fish out of water and gifted amateur ‘tecs. She is senior editor, Acquisitions, with Pulp Literature, a Canadian short genre fiction quarterly.

Mel can be found dancing in her garden for joy in independent publishing, walking for miles to look at inspired Victorian architecture, and eating scones with clotted cream and jam, thus the walking.
