    Uncover the emotional journey of one woman's search for love, acceptance, and the place where she truly belongs. Elise's life has been marked by a relentless pursuit of belonging. An adoptee who always felt like a second choice, she believed she had finally found her place when she fell in love with and married Evan. Little did she know that Evan carried his own powerful demons, ones that would nearly destroy her when she summoned the courage to confront them. The tragic aftermath left her overwhelmed by guilt and haunted by the past. Years later, a second chance may be Elise's path to happiness and a true sense of belonging. In a world filled with critical voices and daunting fears, she must make a life-altering choice: to embrace happiness or risk perpetuating the patterns that have haunted her for too long. Second Choices is a gripping narrative inspired by true events, offering a poignant, heartfelt, and hopeful account of Elise's relentless quest for belonging and a place to call home. This story touches on themes of adoption, miscarriage, verbal abuse, control, eating disorders, and the specter of suicide. Yet, at its core, it's a story of love, hope, and the unyielding human spirit's search for its rightful place in the world.

    Mother Paul, the incomparable nun-detective, is faced with her most perplexing case when a former pupil at her convent school is murdered at their annual reunion.As a schoolgirl Maisie Ryan was often bullied by her peers, but a decade later she's a TV star, the glamorously renamed Rianne May. When she's invited to be guest of honour at Maryhill College's annual reunion, she has a chance to dazzle her old tormentors the way she does her adoring television audience. But as she's holding court at the reunion tea party, old grudges and new jealousies swirl around her-and suddenly one of her tablemates drops dead, poisoned. Was Rianne the intended victim? She evidently thinks so-only that day she'd received a death threat. Rianne flees the scene and cannot be found. Who is the murderer? And what has happened to Rianne May? Fortunately, the school's principal is Mother Paul, who immediately calls for Detective Inspector Savage. She assisted him (or was it the other way around?) in solving a previous case (Faculty of Murder), and between them the unlikely pair will unravel this one too. But there will be more drama-and more deaths-before the murderer is uncovered. Moving between the brash new realm of television in the early 1960s and the cloistered atmosphere of a girls' convent school, Make-Up for Murder is the third and final Mother Paul novel and a must-read for all fans of June Wright's blend of intrigue, wit, and psychological suspense.

    Mother Paul, June Wright¿s beloved nun-detective, returns to her sleuthing ways after she takes up a new position as warden of a student hall of residence at the University of Melbourne.No sooner has Judith Mornane arrived on campus than she startles her fellow residents by announcing her intention to discover the murderer of her sister, who disappeared from the same dorm a year earlier. The ever-curious Mother Paul is drawn to investigate what happened to Judith¿s sister¿did she simply run off for reasons best known to herself, as the police concluded, or could it be she really was murdered? Was her disappearance perhaps linked to a tragedy that happened at around the same time¿the accidental drowning (in her bathtub) of the wife of one of the college¿s professors? Was that drowning in fact as accidental as the official investigation suggested?Mother Paul believes the two events are connected somehow, and a further tragedy, the faked-suicide death of one of her student charges, convinces her that a particularly cruel and clever murderer is still at work within the college. She is not above a little subterfuge in the interest of discovering the truth and moves her colleagues, the students, and even the police around like so many figures on a chessboard until finally, amid high drama, the murderer is revealed.
