Best Served Cold

By Hilly Barmby

A mystery woman enters Lily's life

At the launch for her latest children's book, a member of the audience asks Lily for a strange inscription in her copy of the book. Why does this unnerve her?

Is Jack the answer to Lily's prayers?

Later, while celebrating in a local bar, Lily, and best friend Alice, spot the same woman. Her name is Rose. Putting aside earlier unease, a new friendship between the three is formed. Rose offers to help Lily re-enter the dating scene after a bad breakup and they come across Jack, Mr Perfect on paper. Lily quickly falls for handsome Jack. Is he too good to be true?

The past is the past, or is it?

Soon after the pair start dating, bizarre things start to occur to Lily; things are moved or they go missing, and, what's worse, her precious artwork is damaged. Who did this to her? Surely it can't have been her new boyfriend, her new friend Rose, or her oldest friend Alice, even if they all have a motive? Perhaps Lily did this all herself. Who can she trust? Can she trust herself? Or has a ghost from Lily's past come back to haunt her?
