Introducing Charlie Fletcher… #Fiction

As promised, today we showcase the leading character of The mystery of Folly’s End.

Introducing Charlie Fletcher…

“Hello everyone,

my writer has devised a clever idea to introduce myself to the book-reading public.

I am supposed to wow you with my fantastic personality, if I can remember where I left it.

I am part of a very successful Interior Design company based in London. We are well known for our innovative concepts.

 A single, fun-loving woman, the eldest of two warring sisters. Although, we couldn’t get on these days if our lives depended on it.

This wasn’t always the way with us. As children, we were the best of friends, but when she stole the love of my life and married him, she ruined any chance of a happy ever after for either of us. Luckily, my sister moved away before I could get my hands on her. I have hated her ever since.

So, when I received a frantic call for help the other day, I had mixed feelings. Turns out, the love of both our lives was missing, presumed dead, leaving my poor sister with no money and two kids to look after.

Should I ignore the call or tell her to take a running jump?

It’s not as easy as it sounds. As I said before, I am a businesswoman; I can’t take off on a mercy mission at the drop of my sister’s hat. But for some reason, one I can’t seem to put my finger on, I packed a bag and travelled to Bognor on Sea, turning up at her door the next day.

Can I patch up the past, forgive my sister, sort out her problems and get back to London before I am missed?

Why don’t you come along with me on the 4th of August and find out?

Best wishes

Charlie”

I wonder what I would do in similar circumstances? I too, have a sister, so quite familiar with the problems that can come with siblings and/or family.

One by one, you will be meeting the rest of cast. I enjoyed meeting them and I hope you will too…

Best wishes!

    nifty premise, but I wish I knew right at the front end that Charlie isn’t sympathetic towards her sister, but rather the 2 kids. Maybe, through another connection, she knows the kids’ names?

    lol – there are a lot of siblings in our extended family so I’ve seen some of the complex interactions between them. Never simple! Best of luck, Charlie. :)
