Tippy, Pike and Devon return in Nancy Business. The stakes are higher, the tone is darker, Tippy has a new haircut and don’t even think of going near Devon with green!
Get ready for a cosy mystery, with a queer heart and some real questions about what it means to be a part of a community.
In Nancy Business, Riverstone is rocked by an explosion at the Town Hall. Three people are killed and it looks like a local is the bomber. Straight away things feel darker than the last novel. The bombing happens on the anniversary of Tippy’s father’s death and this has brought back so much for her. She is now constantly in fear of more violence and of losing more people close to her.
Pike and Devon are triumphant in their return to Riverstone but they too are hiding a darkness. Growing up Riverstone was never a place Pike could safe as a young gay man. Despite a level of fabulous acceptance with Devon by his side, the two are struggling to navigate the growth and maturing of their relationship. Could they really settle down in Riverstone?
Nancy Business has dialogue tighter than Devon’s hot pants and the sort of characters that make you want to move to their town (just as soon as they sort out all the death!)
