Lucy Lyons worked in London as an editorial illustrator before realising she loved writing novels so much, she wanted to do that full-time.

She writes the nostalgic nineties Alex Martin Cozy Mystery series as Lucy Lyons, and her epic fantasy series - the Chronicles of Mealduth - as L. Lyons.

She now lives in leafy Surrey with her illustrator husband, two grown-up boys and a bearded dragon called Pancake. When she’s not at her desk writing, she loves to escape into the garden and other worlds.

I wanted to read a masterclass in detective fiction, and dived into this book. The plotting is impeccable, the story intriguing. P D James really makes her nuances of character stand out, and the environment forms as much a part of the murder as the ...more

I'm torn about this book because I really enjoyed the read. The story pulls you along, the environmental descriptions are stunning, the years pass by, and you still want to know what happens. I might have been more favourable towards it had I not jus ...more

This is deliciously old school, which sounds ironic, considering it's science fiction, set in 2046. This novel felt like The Martian had been crossed with a Ben Bova classic. The recipe is; throw convicts onto Mars, have them set up infrastructure fo ...more

“Below the display, where you would expect to find number buttons on a calculator, is a large transparent square of plastic. An astonishing array of circuitry and electronics sit behind it - a smorgasbord of transistors, capacitors and other components.”
Lucy Lyons, The Finding Machine

“For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.”
Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene
