The Night in Question

Florence Butterfield has lived a full life - of travel, passion and adventure. But, at eighty-seven, she suspects there are no more adventures left.

Then, one midsummer's night, something shocking happens - so strange and unexpected that Florrie is suspicious. Was this really an accident, or is she being lied to? Is she living alongside a would-be murderer?

The only clues are a confession of love and a discarded magenta envelope . . .

Florrie - cheerful, independent and overlooked - is determined to learn the truth. But as she turns detective, she finds herself looking back on her own life - and, above all, to her own dark secret. For Florrie's scarred hands are proof that she is not, in fact, who people think she is.

Will she discover what happened that night? And, in doing so, what else might come to light?

This adventure - now, in her late eighties - might be Florrie's greatest yet.

Prize-winning author Susan Fletcher's new novel The Night in Question is an absorbing whodunnit which also looks at - and celebrates - one woman's extraordinary and inspiring life.
