Seaside

Suicide is painless…
Laura Carter’s signed suicide note is found next to her lifeless body. Not much scope for a mystery here until Laura’s identical twin Alex claims she’s Laura. Local recluse and crime writer Emma Winter hires Lily Pascale to establish the truth - cue philosophical musings on identity and “the Other”. The search for the twin’s identity runs parallel with Lily’s search for her own. In fact it wouldn’t be a stretch to suggest the mystery is the sub plot and cipher for Lily’s/Scarlett’s soul searching.

it brings on many changes ….
Not exactly new territory but, hindsight being a wonderful thing, you can detect a shift toward the themes of “The End Of Mr Y” and sense the character Lily is spent. "Suicide" (Seaside) is the last of the series and Scarlett has, by the books end, effectively killed her off (Given the identity a kind of virtual suicide?)

And I can take or leave it if I please…..
I won’t be pressing this one into the hands of friends and acquaintances but I will be picking up “Bright Young Things”
