Blog Tour: Sister Olive Wouldn’t Hurt A Fly – Gill Calvin Thomas

If this whole saga was a fight between good and evil, then who had won?

As far as Miriam could work out, neither good nor evil had triumphed yet. Now she was having to confront the grim consequences of Will’s behaviour, and she was mortally afraid.
Maybe he and his darkness would win after all.

The tragic suicide of a young student starts a shocking chain of events for William
Marshall, his wife Miriam and their son, Ollie. As Will descends into madness, a
ghostly presence appears in their old house to protect Ollie. However, when two
strangers threaten Miriam and an attempt is made to snatch Ollie, mother and son are forced to flee.

Amidst ever-present danger, they shake off pursuers to seek sanctuary in Rock House in Dorset, where they meet Caitlin and her friends. Twenty years have passed since Charlie Bond helped Caitlin solve the mystery of her mother’s death. Now, it is the turn of Charlie’s sidekick, Sam Haskell, to investigate a mysterious cult and unmask a killer.

Gill Calvin Thomas has retired from academic life and lives with her husband in Swanage, Dorset. She finds inspiration while walking in the Isle of Purbeck. Here, she is able to escape into a world of her own making, getting to know her characters, whilst she plans the next twist and turn of the plot.

As writing has become a major part of Gill’s life, she has withdrawn from taking a
leading role in many community volunteer activities, although she has retained her
interest in local and national politics. A lifelong feminist, Gill likes nothing better than a spirited debate on the issues of the day with family and friends. As her writing
career develops, she hopes to explore those issues in her stories.

My thoughts: Worried about the changes in her husband, Miriam and her son Ollie flee their home for the safety of her cousin’s home in Dorset. Unfortunately the other members of the cult her husband seems to have founded are still after Ollie.

Especially the rather malevolent Sister Olive, who has plans of her own for William, her own husband Leo and young Ollie.

But Miriam has some new friends who want to help her stay safe and Sam goes undercover in the group to try to discern their plans and find the missing William.

Twisted and strange, this cult has deviated from their original beliefs and now Olive has seized control, and no one feels safe.

The story is clever and full of twists and turns as Miriam and Ollie try to stay ahead of this dangerous woman.
