OverviewA 1970s debate on equality is overshadowed by a deadly secret... Spring 1970. Sussex University is hosting a debate about equality for women. But when one of the debating group goes missing, attention turns away from social injustice to something more sinister. It seems every one of the group has something to hide, and when a second tragedy occurs, two of the delegates - amateur sleuth Janie Juke, and reporter Libby Frobisher - are prepared to make themselves unpopular to flush out the truth. Who is lying and why? Alongside the police investigation, Janie and Libby are determined to prise answers from the tight-lipped group, as they find themselves in a race against time to stop another victim being targeted. In A Notable Omission we meet Janie at the start of a new decade. When we left Janie at the end of The Invisible Case she was enjoying her new found skills and success as an amateur sleuth.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationIsabella Muir has a fascination for the past - exploring what it was like for families living through the decades from the 1930s through to the 1960s. She is the author of two crime mystery series, both set in Sussex, in the iconic era of the 1960s, as well several novellas set during the Second World War. Researching all aspects of family life in past decades formed the perfect launch pad for her works of fiction. Isabella rediscovered her love of writing fiction during two happy years working on and completing her MA in Professional Writing and since then has gone to publish six novels, five novellas and two short story collections.The first series of her Sussex Crime Mysteries features young librarian and amateur sleuth, Janie Juke. Set in the late 1960s, in the fictional seaside town of Tamarisk Bay, we meet Janie, who looks after the mobile library. She is an avid lover of Agatha Christie stories - in particular Hercule Poirot - using all she has learned from the Queen of Crime to help solve crimes and mysteries. As well as three novels, there are five novellas in the series, which explore some of the back story to the Tamarisk Bay characters.The setting for the Janie Juke mystery series is based on the area where Isabella was born and lived most of her life. When she thinks of Tamarisk Bay she pictures her birthplace in St Leonards-on-sea, East Sussex and its surroundings.Her latest novels, Crossing the Line and After the Storm are part of a brand new series of Sussex Crime Mysteries, introducing retired Italian detective, Giuseppe Bianchi.Isabella's standalone novel, The Forgotten Children, deals with the emotive subject of the child migrants who were sent to Australia - again focusing on family life in the 1960s, when the child migrant policy was still in force.
