If you're a fan of Veronica Mars, Nancy Drew, Janet Evanovich's books featuring Stephanie Plum or Meg Cabot's Size 12 books featuring Heather Wells and want more fly-on-the-wall teenage realism than fictional fantasy, Lily S is for you.
The characters are based on real life (my two daughters!), and as teenagers are the wittiest, craziest people I know (and the most interesting) who needs fantasy? Laughter mixed with tricky plot twists and dark, dark minds waiting quietly to catch Lily in their traps ...

Part spy, part PI, sixteen-year-old Lily’s policeman Dad is trying to untangle a particularly nasty death and Lily’s intrigued. She’s even more intrigued when she proves to him it’s actually murder. Perhaps she’d make a detective too? If only she could work out what would get Dad to dump awful Ange, grovel, and patch things up with Mum. Irritating isn’t the word!

Convinced she can get her parents back together, Lily resorts to her own bit of web-weaving to trip up the candidates for replacement daddy. The trouble is, whilst Lily thinks she’s playing private investigator and being a clever little spider, weaving clever little traps, one of her prey is smarter still - and potentially deadly.

…or rather trouble’s looking for her. They find each other in the series of little mysteries that start cropping up as soon as Lily’s back at school after her brush with death, and meets the new boy, Si. He’s different, like Lily is now, with her occasional narcolepsy and frequent inclination to be a private investigator of everything. He has Tourettes.
He also has a way with rhymes; one in particular that increasingly makes sense to Lily as the mysteries mount up.
One for sorrow, two for joy, three for... murder?
