What Amazon readers are saying about The Lost One ¿¿¿¿¿ "Great read! I read it in one sitting, so glad I did not start late at night. Great story lines, very well written. Realistic telling of period of history I like to read about. Very satisfying realistic characters and an ending that fits!" ¿¿¿¿¿ "Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Unexpected at some points. One of those books you finish and half hope there will be a sequel to. Recommended if you're looking for an interesting, well written read." ¿¿¿¿¿ "If you enjoy historical fiction, this is a good read. Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Fast paced, well presented characters, and well written. Historical backstories were fascinating, and woven through, from beginning to end. Fairly easy read, and I couldn't put it down till finished."
Autorenporträt
Penelope Haines became a writer when she realized she could gaze out of the window with a glass of wine in her hands and claim to be working. Her previous occupations of Nurse, Management Consultant, Parent, Farm Manager, CEO and Commercial Pilot failed to achieve this simple clarity. Her training as a nurse taught her not to kill patients; her training as a flying instructor convinced her to be patient as students attempted to kill her. Penelope's current status as 'alive' is a testament to the speed of her reactions. Writing detective novels allows her to explore new and creative ways of murdering those who have offended her. So far the results of that exploration have remained purely fantastical. Penelope's interests are centered on reading, writing, theatre, music, horse-riding and skiing. She maintains she's a single minded person, having one dog, one cat, one horse, and one husband. She lives in Otaki, New Zealand. Penelope hopes you will enjoy her novels.
