Joy Moody Is Out Of Time
by Kerryn MayneOn her twin daughters’ birthday, Joy Moody – proprietor of Bonbeach's premier laundromat – is found dead. For much of their lives, Joy has been telling Cassie and Andie one big, fat lie: that they are from the future, and that when they turn 21, they will travel back to the year 2050. What started as a tale to explain how the girls came to live with her has now become a decade-long deception. Worse still, Joy has started to believe it herself. The lie is certainly preferable to the truth she can’t face- about what happened to the girls’ real mother, and how far Joy's
gone to keep them 'safe' . . .

She's also an undercover operative, and keeping her true motives hidden proves more and more dangerous as the day of the heist approaches.
