Sophia Bennett

    1 gennaio 1966

    Sophia scrive di ragazze che scoprono il loro potere interiore, che siano stiliste di moda, aspiranti popstar o spie. I suoi personaggi si dimostrano costantemente più coraggiosi di quanto realizzino, una rivelazione che l'autrice ama esplorare. Attraverso queste narrazioni, Sophia mira a ispirare le giovani lettrici a riconoscere e abbracciare la propria forza e il proprio coraggio. Il suo stile è accessibile e le sue storie risuonano con eroine che trovano la loro strada.

      Ted è altissima e strana, con sopracciglia assurde che sembrano un bruco piazzato in mezzo alla fronte. La bella di famiglia è sempre stata sua sorella Ava, affascinante come una star del cinema Anni Quaranta. Per questo, quando lo scout di un'agenzia di modelle la nota, Ted non riesce a crederci. Nello stesso tempo, non riesce nemmeno a credere che Ava sia gravemente malata. All'improvviso, il suo mondo non ha più alcuna certezza da offrire e Ted si trova a dover scegliere tra fama e famiglia, sballottata fra le passerelle della London Fashion Week e le lezioni al liceo, fra casting in modernissimi loft e servizi fotografici a Manhattan. Ted scoprirà in fretta e a sue spese che niente è bianco o nero nel mondo della moda, ma esiste un'infinita varietà di sfumature e personalità. Alcune davvero molto affascinanti e che di nome fanno Nick.

      December 2016 - A severed hand is found washed up on a beach next to the Queen's estate at Sandringham. Elizabeth has become quite accustomed to solving even the most complex of murders. And though she quickly identifies the 70-year-old victim, Edward St Cyr, from his signet ring, the search for his killer is not so straightforward. St Cyr led an unconventional, often controversial life, making many enemies along the way in the quiet, rural world of North Norfolk, where everyone knows each other's business. But when a second man is found dead, and a prominent local woman is nearly killed in a hit-and-run, the mystery takes an even darker turn. With the Christmas break coming to an end, the Queen and her trusted assistant Rozie must race to discover how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Or the next victim may be found even closer to home.[Bokinfo].
