Martha Holmes Mysteries 1: The Lost Girls

By Lavinia Thompson

When an abrupt divorce turns her world upside down, Martha finds herself leaving a decade-long relationship and learning how to navigate the world as a 33-year-old single woman. She thinks she can hide from the pain by diving into her job, spying on adulterous spouses like her own and busting them.

But when musician Thomas Remmy approaches her regarding his sister, who has been missing for ten years, Martha finds herself taking on a purpose bigger than cheaters and marital problems: She and her best friend, Daisy, have a chance to bring home Chloe and Sydney, both who vanished within a year of each other. A chance to heal two families and find out the truth of what happened to these lost girls. A chance for Martha to make her career more worthwhile, and to find the new version of herself in the pieces of who she used to be.

Lavinia Thompson

​I am a 32-year old author who wants to share the worlds inside my head with everyone. The theme woven through my books is survival. We survive adversity, trauma, hardship and obstacles every day. I survived a decade of child abuse and domestic violence. I want fellow survivors to know they aren't alone. You matter. It is okay to hit rock bottom, to fall, but we don't need to unpack and live there. Writing is what helped me survive, and continues to do so. It has been my life-saving foundation while struggling with mental illness and PTSD. Now, I want the worlds inside my head to reach you.Visit my website and blog for the latest updates!
