The Floozy in the Park

By Ellie Stevenson

Too many people have something to
lose if the truth comes out…

Journalist Jon visits an island, searching for his ex-lover,
whose father was murdered. The killer is still out there.
Nobody likes him asking questions.

Megan, Jon’s partner, is busy building a retail empire. Then
she discovers an Edwardian mystery, connected to her.
She barely notices Jon has gone.

But when she finds the sketch he drew of his ex-lover,
Megan knows Jon is in trouble. Serious trouble.

Can she uncover the truth in time?

What people have said:

When you stumble on something, you know it has already cost a life, and the people of whom you're asking questions are not the sort it's wise to irritate, do you stop asking? Not if Ellie Stevenson wrote you, you don't.

I bought this book because I had enjoyed a previous book by this author, Watching Charlotte Bronte Die. I said then that the inside of Ellie Stevenson's head must be a very strange place to inhabit, and this new book suggests that the Stevenson psyche is as individual today as ever it was. That glorious imagination, swooping from character to character and from insight to insight, makes for a great read. The Bagster (Amazon)


It was my first time to read a book by Ellie Stevenson which came on recommendation, I was expecting a crime novel but got so much more ! This is a great read a super crime novel but with several twists not least an amazing Victorian department store I really felt I was there what a fabulous read and so interesting. This book kept me on my toes with all the levels a few times I had to re-read sections just to make sure I kept up. I now wish to read her other novels. K Reed.
