Ask Laura

An advice columnist’s own problems reach crisis level, in this compelling blend of suspense, romance, and family drama by the author of The Dead Husband.

Laura Green dispenses life advice to readers of a London magazine, but now she could use some help herself. Her teenage daughter will barely speak to her and is hiding birth control pills in her room. Her elderly mother is in a home suffering from Alzheimer’s. And her ex is about to become a father again—while paying minimal attention to the three children he already has with Laura.

When the magazine starts getting threatening letters demanding that Laura’s column be dropped, she is helped by a young police officer but personal problems refuse to disappear.

Juggling several responsibilities isn’t easy for any divorced mom. But doing so while living in fear is much worse. Just ask Laura . . .
