In the Name of Love: Florence Love 2: a laugh-til-you-cry page-turner full of family secrets

In the Name of Love by Louise Lee marks the return of 'flawed, feisty and funny as hell' (Mel Giedroyc) heroine Florence Love. With its rapidfire, irreverent sense of humour and sass that will appeal to fans of Marian Keyes and Mhairi McFarlane, this book actively encourages laugh-snorts - and maybe a little sob on the side.



Retired, teCNically, Florence Love is a long way from her London Private Investigator glory days. But her latest target is achingly personal.



A ration of Montepulciano in her water pouch, Flo finds herself racing around Italy on a borrowed Vespa in the name of love. Bambi Love, specifically. Her mum - missing for twenty-five years. The one case that's still unresolved.



To find Bambi, maintaining focus will be critical. Florence must not be distracted.



Not even by a beautiful, goosebump-inducing Italian stranger with mafiosi friends and a habit of suddenly disappearing himself, who knows far more than he's letting on...

Louise Lee was once a Geography teacher. When oxbow lakes no longer floated her boat, she took the next, natural step in her career progression and became a Private Investigator. Memorable cases include a high-functioning bigamist with three wives and six children, who was set to marry a fourth; and losing a target because George Clooney started chatting her up in a bar.

Louise undertook an MA in Creative Writing at Birkbeck, and has had work commissioned by BBC Radio Four. The Florence Love novels follow the life of an irreverent, thor­oughly 'modern' PI who specialises in entrapment, and Louise would love to hear from fellow Florences - stop by her website: www.louiselee.co.uk or drop her a line on Twitter: @louise_lee1.

If Louise's mum is reading this, the books are in no way based on her true experiences. Honest.
