Rona Parish Books Overview
Brought to Book
Mystery and intrigue with a decidedly literary bent, from the bestselling crime writer When successful biographer Rona Parish is asked to write the life-story of a bestselling author, recently deceased, she is intrigued – to say the least. After all, Theo Harvey led a very colourful life, and died in mysterious circumstances. But Rona’s husband Max is wary and, it soon becomes apparent, with good reason…
As Rona begins to delve into Theo Harvey’s life and death, and to interview his friends and family – some more willing than others – she realises that she has taken on a poisoned chalice.

A Family Concern
A new Rona Parish mystery After the success of her articles on adopted children, journalist Rona Parish is eager for a fresh challenge. A chance encounter with an old friend, Kate, now married into the Tarlton family who own the oldest jewellery shop in Marsborough, sows the seed of a new series. Rona will research the histories of several long established family firms in the town, notably Tarltons and the Clarendon Hotel. Then Kate enlists Rona’s help in getting to the bottom of sister in law Freya’s terrifying nightmares, which seem to hint at a buried childhood memory, and Rona finds herself drawn into the complex web of relationships linking the two families. At the same time she has problems of her own: her recently separated parents are both making demands on her; sister Lindsay is ?as usual ? torn between two equally unsuitable men, and Rona’s artist husband Max is becoming worryingly involved with one of his young students.
