Tapas, Carrot Cake, and a Corpse
Book 1 in The Charlotte Denver Cozy Mystery Series
Small-town murder was never so calculated…
On a peaceful morning in the English coastal town of St. Eves, a handsome stranger is murdered.
St. Eves is a town with real community spirit. It’s the kind of town where people leave their doors open from sunrise to sunset, and friends and neighbours pop in for a chat and a nice cup of tea without waiting to be invited. No one’s ever too busy for a chat and a nice cup of tea in St. Eves.
That wonderful way of life is threatened, though, following the arrival of strangers to the town. Strangers who are swiftly followed by murder.
Is the killer the wealthy boat owner with the big bank balance and the bad attitude?
Or is it his attractive younger wife, who’s keeping secrets and telling lies?
Or is someone else responsible?
As café-bar owner, Charlotte Denver takes up the challenge to help find the killer before they strike again, she uncovers a shocking plot that rocks the close-knit community to its core, and a twist in the tale that no one saw coming.
There’s a mystery to solve, along with engaging characters, a little romance, and recipes to try for yourself in the first book in the Charlotte Denver Cozy Mystery Series.
This book is written in British English. It’s a clean mystery read and contains no strong profanity, sex or graphic violence.
Bodies, Baddies, and a Crabby Tabby
Book 1 in The Bliss Bay Village Mystery Series
When an empty-nester returns to her childhood home, she soon realises that village life isn’t as tranquil as it used to be…
Megan Fallon is in a pickle. Her daughter’s flown off to New Zealand on a gap year; she’s lost the job she loved; and her fiancé’s run off with her hairdresser.
Finding herself at a very loose end, Megan’s lured back to her childhood home following news of a family celebration.
With a party to organise, old friends to catch up with, a flirtatious ex-husband and his jealous wife to avoid, a mischievous favourite uncle who’s on the lookout for adventure, a clumsy childhood acquaintance who has undergone a startling transformation, and a cantankerous tabby cat to contend with, Megan has her hands full.
However, what started off as a leisurely break takes a chilling turn when members of the community start getting bumped off at an alarming rate, and Megan finds herself at the heart of an investigation that has her suspecting everyone.
Could the murderer be the local finance advisor, whose misjudged investment recommendation cost his clients their life savings?
Or maybe the village celebrity; a footballer who appears to have at least one skeleton in a cupboard he’d prefer was kept firmly locked?
Or what about a member of a classical music trio who seem to have plenty of secrets they’d rather keep to themselves?
Or is the killer someone else entirely?
As Megan becomes involved in the hunt for a murderer, it’s not long before she finds out that some of the villagers are harbouring other secrets too.
This book is written in British English. It’s a clean mystery read and contains no strong profanity, sex or graphic violence.
