The Lynmouth Stories by L V Hay



The Lynmouth Stories

Beautiful places hide dark secrets ... 

Devon's very own crime writer L.V Hay (The Other Twin, Do No Harm) brings forth three new short stories from her dark mind and poison pen:




- For kidnapped Meg and her young son Danny, In Plain Sight, the remote headland above Lynmouth is not a haven, but hell.

- A summer of fun for Catherine in Killing Me Softly becomes a winter of discontent ... and death.

- In Hell And High Water, a last minute holiday for Naomi and baby Tommy  becomes a survival situation ... But that's before the village floods.

All taking place out of season when the majority of tourists have gone home, L.V Hay uses her local knowledge to bring forth dark and claustrophic noir she has come to be known for.

Did You Know ...?

Known as England's 'Little Switzerland', the Devon village of Lynmouth is famous for its Victorian cliff railway, fish n' chips and of course, RD Blackmore's Lorna Doone.

Located on the doorstep of the dramatic Valley of The Rocks and the South West Cliff Path, the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth have inspired many writers, including 19th Century romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who honeymooned there in 1812.

‘Sharp, confident writing, as dark and twisty as the Brighton Lanes’- Peter James

‘An original, fresh new voice in crime fiction’  - Cal Moriarty

‘The writing shines from every page of this twisted tale'- Ruth Dugdall

Dark with a dangerous slant, the three stories that make up this collection will have your mind wandering to what else is there to the story. Two of the three feature a mother and child, while the third includes protecting a child at its center.
These women are victims, yet each has a strength to call on that she seemed to be unaware of at first.
