Serial Wives
by Yvonne Walus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Crime Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Why would a rich girl become a prostitute?
Three
years ago Joy refused to sleep with an ex boyfriend. When he committed suicide,
her guilt was enormous. To punish herself she opted to serve as a prostitute
for three years.
How far would you go to protect your child?
Cora
loves her convict husband despite - or because of - his bad boy ways. But now
that he's back in her life, she has their daughter to consider. Is a faulty
father better than no father at all?
A serial killer…
A
serial killer who murders women and displays their bodies dressed in a white
sheet with a fencing mask covering the face. Who will be next?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Zero’s
shared office at the police station looked bleaker than usual. Not even nine
o’clock and the morning was already too full of coffee and too scant on
breakfast. After three hours in bed, Zero had chosen an extra fifteen minutes
of snoozing instead of muesli and shower. She was regretting the no-muesli
decision.
“So,”
Zero said. “I got that list of psycho reasons for wanting to kill prostitutes.”
Kath
raised her eyebrows. “Thought you’d get too sucked into the TV to do any work.”
Of
course she did.
“Didn’t
even switch it on. Used the Internet. According to Dr Google, scenario one is
we could be looking at a man who has issues with women as such. He hates women
and wants to hurt them, and the prostitute is simply an easy option. We’ll call
him Bitter Boy.”
“Right.”
“The
second scenario is that he despises prostitutes specifically. The attacks could
be his mission to rid the world of women who, in his eyes, are morally
unacceptable.”
“The
Missionary.” Kath got up, reached for a blue marker and printed the two
nicknames on the whiteboard, right below the photos and names of the two
victims. Rebecca Mahoney, also known as Raven. Stella Baxter, a.k.a. Sirocco.
Zero
wondered if their department would ever get a Smart Board. Unless Smart Boards
were so smart they helped the police solve crimes, the official line went, the
department would stick to the status quo in technology, thank you very much.

AUTHOR BIO:
You
won't believe this, but when I'm not a novelist I'm actually a Doctor of
Mathematics. A business and data analyst. A wife and a mother. Most of all
though - I am a writer (in several languages) hoping to change the world one
book at a time.
My
heritage is inter-continental. I was born and raised in Poland. When I was
twelve, my family and I emigrated to South Africa. Your teenage years are
usually your formative years, so it’s no surprise I consider South Africa my
second homeland. For the past twenty years, I’ve lived in New Zealand, and
people ‘back home’ tell me I’ve become a real Kiwi.
Crime
fiction is my passion. My childhood hero was, predictably, Hercule Poirot. I've
changed my mind several times since, and for a time I was totally into Harlan
Coben's super-rich super-able Win (Windsor Horne Lockwood), but my current
favourite is Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch… I mean, Sherlock Holmes.
