The Road from Midnight is a beautifully written chick lit novel with a thriller twist. It tells the story of magazine editor Jane Cunningham who has it all: a gorgeous, younger celebrity husband, a glamorous, fulfilling career and a beautiful, healthy daughter.

But on the overnight train from Paris to Venice her five-year-old daughter Charlotte, goes missing.

As her life crumbles about her Jane refuses to leave Venice as she clings to a seemingly irrational belief that her daughter is alive somewhere out there.

She haunts the magnificent cathedrals of Venice, praying daily to the Madonna to bring Charlotte safely back to her.

And then one day…she does.  

This is a compelling page-turner taking the reader on a journey packed with humour, suspense and a scintillating erotic charge.
