Six suspects, six motives, six alibis.

Freshly promoted to detective inspector, Alicia Friend is yet to unleash her quirky sometimes irritating personality on a murder case. That is, until her former roommate calls with a plea to insert herself into an investigation.

A high school teacher has been murdered in an English countryside mansion.

In a room locked from the inside.

By one of six people, all of whom might want this troubled individual dead.

Struggling to assert her true, perky persona in an unfamiliar senior role, Detective Inspector Alicia Friend embarks on a new phase in her life by attempting to solve an ingenious murder and fix a friendship damaged by recent changes in her life.


To Hide To Seek is a traditional British locked room murder mystery that serves as a stand-alone quick read for fans of the genre.

For regular readers of Alicia Friend’s investigations, To Hide To Seek is number five, a novella approximately one-third the length of a regular instalment.
