About the Andee Lawrence series
Andee Lawrence is a former Kesterly-on-Sea detective turned private investigator whose cases pull her back into contact with her old police colleagues as she works missing-persons and cold-case investigations that dig up long-buried family secrets in her small West Country town. Behind Closed Doors (2014) introduces Andee investigating claims that could reopen a decades-old miscarriage of justice; the four books that follow -- The Girl Who Came Back (2016), The Moment She Left (2017), Hiding in Plain Sight (2017) and Believe In Me (2018) -- each send her into a new case built around disappearance, deception and the damage secrets do to families over time.
The series is one of several strands in Susan Lewis' large body of work that lean toward crime and psychological suspense rather than the family-drama register of her broader standalone backlist, sharing Kesterly-on-Sea as a setting with several of her standalone thrillers.
