In the Wake- Helen Trevorrow- Psych/Crime/LGBT fiction
Kay Christie is a successful PR business woman running her own business with her partner.
One day at an event at Excel a body is found and Kay is certain she knows who it is. The PR
contract is failing and accounts for 70% of the business so Kay wants to do her best to retrieve
it and/or get new business whilst doing her best to push attention away from the crime. 
This is a very different read as there are several issues covered at once. The PR business,
Kay relationships, the murder , her own issues, and more so quite a heavy load. A read
where the main character has her own demons and some fairly explicit sexual scenes
(lesbian). This is a debut novel and very well written. Once I got through the first
twenty five percent or so the rest sped by and I was happily turning the pages.
A crime read with a difference. A murder , a missing nurse and much much more.
A writer to watch in the future. 

Blurb:When a body is found floating in London's Royal Albert Dock, successful public relations expert Kay Christie is sent to quiet the media, but things get complicated when it emerges that she knew the victim.
As events spiral out of control, Kay discovers that those close to her may be harbouring another secret - the story of a missing girl. Can Kay discover the truth before her life unravels and she risks losing everything?
In the Wake questions whether we can ever truly leave our pasts behind and explores the lengths that we will go to protect the people that we love.
