Third Time Lucky by JW Lawson

THIRD TIME LUCKY

 

Three damaged women scarred emotionally and physically from their past.

 

Three individual battles to fight.

 

Beth's friends meant everything to her. Unlike all of the others who claimed they cared, she knew differently. Betrayal and pain became her every day life but they were always there, protecting her from the evils which followed her every move. Letting them go would be so incredibly difficult, but Beth knew that despite their pleas, she had to destroy them.

 

All Lizzie had ever wanted was to be Mummy’s little angel  but the nightmares continue to haunt her, tormenting her mind and creating the all-familiar rage within the confines of her soul. Would she ever find the strength to confront the cause and lead a normal life once again?

 

How could Elise live without her fix? Didn’t they understand that the drugs hid the horrors of her past? Didn’t they realise that they made life bearable? And really, would life be worth living without them?

 

 

ONE MAN

 

Ever since he had been a young boy, he had always enjoyed an incredible ability to listen to people without ever judging them. He cared and he knew instinctively which path he should follow in life.

 

Could Jonathan Davies, a highly experienced and compassionate psychiatrist help these women overcome the horrors of their past or would the mother of all demons destroy him too?

 

MUMMY'S LITTLE ANGEL 

​

One egg. One conception. Identical twin girls. So how was one born a psychopath?

 

There's a fine line between genius and madness. Do not cross it.

 

Joanne didn’t believe that her life could become worse than it already was. She had lost everybody and everything she had loved. She was alone. Surely she had suffered enough?

 

The press had called her identical twins psychopaths. Her Maggie. Her Annie. But she still loved them, even though one of them had killed her husband, Jeff. Joanne still believed that his murder had been an accident. How could one of her girls be a murderer? She knew her girls better than anybody else. They were good girls really. Her babies…

 

The brutal murder of her god-daughter Laura had never been solved. Items had been missing when Laura’s remains had been discovered – clues that could lead to the capture of her killer. One of them was Laura’s doll … the doll that Joanne later discovered in her home.

 

Joanne is facing the most horrific dilemma of her life. Has the wrong woman been imprisoned? Could her child have used such brutality against her best friend? Or could both women be innocent after all?

 

She needs to find somebody for her daughter to confide in – somebody she will trust. She needs a miracle.

 

There is only one person who can help. He is compassionate and caring, with an amazing ability to gain the trust of the most difficult patients.

 

He is Joanne’s only hope.

 

He is Jonathan Davies.

REVIEWS OF MUMMY'S LITTLE ANGEL:

​Warren Adler:  Multi-award winning best selling author of War of the Roses:

 

'I was intrigued to find out who the murderous twin was throughout the novel. Vivid characters and deliriously confusing

that fits the theme of the novel.'

 

Brooke Burgess: Award Winning Author and Producer:

 

'Intriguing family / mystery/ thriller/ murder tale. I could see it as a twisted film of 4hr Netflix mini.'

 

Alistair Cross: Award Winning Author:

 

'Beautifully claustrophobic in its intimacy, this novel was compelling in a quiet, haunting way.'

 

Christopher Klim, Senior Editor, the usreview.com / Author:

 

'Joanne's identical twin daughters, Maggie and Annie, are suspected of horrible crimes, but are they really guilty? From the

opening pages, Maggie appears to be the most dangerous, but Annie is keeping secrets and harboring plenty of anger.

Don't put your allegiance in any one basket. That will shift during the course of this haunting tale of death and betrayal.

Told in alternating diary form, the narrative delivers both as a classic Victorian novel and yet again as a contemporary chiller.

Author JW Lawson evokes echoes of the classic horror-suspense-thriller, The Other, winding up suspense through cutting

interiority and the closely held secrets of its players, but Mummy's Little Angel still manages to capture the flaws and, yes,

the fragility of humanity. The well-crafted unreliable narrators are confessing in the subtext, but the story is bold and original.'
