Intensive Care

Intensive Care is the second in the Felicity Paradise crime series. Set in St Ives and Zennor Intensive Care finds Felicity struggling to cope with her grown-up daughter staying with her in her tiny cottage. There is hardly room for Mel’s suitcase let alone her ego, and the building tension between mother and daughter forces them to face some uncomfortable truths. Fizzy has a commission to illustrate a locally written children’s book and during her sketching expeditions around St Ives, she encounters a small boy. His image haunts her - where has she seen him before? After a frantic dash to Oxford to look at some old school photos she has him placed. A reluctant Inspector Penrose is dragged in and is gradually convinced that the chase isn’t solely after wild geese. The two of them, fighting demons of their own, discover the truth - a complicated tangle of wrecked lives bringing Felicity to face up to another tragedy in her past.
