Kill Me For A Third Time
A Sophie Curtiss Mystery & an untold story.

It was the late 'noughties', the start of the summer holidays and Sophie, recovering from major surgery, was feeling at a loose end. Her husband, Detective Chief Inspector Richard Oxford was busy on an important breaking case, while her parents and their ten-year-old granddaughter, Kirstie had flown out to the States for a holiday.
Sophie had recently started attending amateur art classes, and it was there she'd first met divorcee April who was alone in the world. The two women, around the same age, had become friends and it was April who first suggested they should have a getaway holiday to 'brush up' on their landscape painting, and it sounded like a good idea.
It had been April who'd said she'd make the arrangements: 'Leave it with me, Sophie. I'll find the ideal place and book us a two-week break.'
And on reflection it did appear April's choice of the privately owned villa in an isolated spot on the coast, was the ideal place to relax and recuperate and they spent their days painting the beautiful coastal landscape. It seemed to be the perfect break until the arrival of Lexie.
From that moment, what had started as a pleasant painting holiday, took on an air of menace as Sophie quickly realised there was more to her friend and her uninvited niece, as things suddenly turned unpleasant and dangerous.
It should have been a holiday to help Sophie recover, instead it turned into a nightmare of addiction and murder, and one that very nearly cost Sophie her life...
