‘If you are a fan of Kathryn Ledson or Janet Evanovich (though Jesse Clarke is a lot more reliable, sensible and doesn’t over share her personal life as does Stephanie Plumb) you will love unravelling the mysteries in the Jesse Clarke series.’ Carol,  Reading, Writing and Riesling.

Jesse thought sugar was such a friendly substance, until it appears in two of her cases for all the wrong reasons. Traces of sugar were connected to a bomb that blew up her client’s Mercedes. Was the bomb meant to kill or was it just a warning of what is to come? And could sugar have duped the immune system of a client’s mother over thirty years ago, resulting in death?

Juggling the two cases—one in the present and one in the past—Jesse finds herself talking to the living and the dead to get results.

Holly Hanlon was having a sea change. Leaving the city for a new life in a seaside village was just what she needed to find her feet after a nasty break-up.

Holly found things - or rather they found her - so nobody was surprised when she opened her small business: Missing Me – Lost, Found and Broken. But finding love and finding The One was a whole different matter.
Unbeknownst to Holly, her new abode in Findlater Lane came with a housemate – Sergeant Alexander Austen – a handsome ghost who thought he knows best.

Was Holly afraid? Not in the daylight hours, when she was happy to help him pack up and move on. Up until now, the Sergeant had done a reasonable job of scaring off potential tenants, and he anticipated getting rid of Holly would be no problem.

And so, Holly and the Sergeant were both calling Findlater House home. For now.

‘AMAZING! Reading about a female PI kicking some ass was just the icing on the cake I needed!' Christine – Goodreads

The dead are walking and it is not even Halloween!

Supported by her own man of steel—the tall, dark and handsome Dominic; business partner Ed; police contact Officer Jason who has more than a professional interest in Jesse; and, best friend Melanie, Jesse finds herself talking to witches, superheroes and morticians to solve her two cases and looking behind the disguises for answers!

Jesse Clarke is back!

A man hanged himself in the front room of the now-abandoned old mansion; Rachael Price, along with everyone in the village, knew the story. But that was a long time ago and the tale had become nothing more than an urban myth by the time Rachael was born.

Eighty-nine-year-old Carrie Howell, dressed in her Sunday-best, asks her grand-daughter, Rachael, to stop a while in front of the rambling old mansion-Autumn Manor.

Who were these people her grandmother is remembering and what is her connection to the ‘haunted house’ that Rachael avoided as a child? Why is the house abandoned? Who owns Autumn Manor now?

By the ocean’s edge she meets Jack Denham who seems to command the sea and the moon—and if he has his way—Ophelia, too.
