- Book 6 of 7: A Dolly Mystery
Joanna becomes embroiled in a kidnapping plot that takes her from Canada to the former Yugoslavia - the sixth book in a classic suspense mystery series, with an ending always sure to surprise!
To all appearances Joanna Emerson is a fully qualified, gold-medalled graduate of the world’s finest college of Nursery Nurses …
Engaged as a nanny to Benedict, newly born heir to a vast cosmetic fortune, she becomes caught up in a complex kidnap plot. But the enigmatic portrait painter, yachtsman and former spy, Johnson Johnson is never far away – and he knows the dangerous game she’s playing.
Before long, bullets are flying, and most of them in Joanna’s direction.
