Autistic, asexual, and almost forty, Pineapple “Motts” Mottley flees London with her cat and turtle to a quaint cottage in Cornwall. She craves the peace of life in a small village. The dead body buried in her garden isn’t quite what she had in mind, though.

Unable to resist her curiosity, she falls directly into a mess of trouble and runs head-first into the attractive detective inspector, Teo Herceg. She tries to balance her business with the investigation, but as the killer focuses on her, staying alive becomes trickier than advanced origami.

Will Motts survive the onslaught of murderously bad luck?

Can she solve the mystery before it all spins out of control and off a cliff?

Summary: The attractive green eyed Detective Michael Book has found romance with handsome blue-eyed blonde artist Jack Page in his Carriage-house studio on Nottinghill Lane, in charming Bluewater City on Rainbow Lake. But secrets abound as they begin to explore and restore the hidden secret garden that has been discovered on the property. Mysteries grow amidst the flowers and possibly a historic murder too. Nottinghill Lane is a small community within a small community, and it’s inhabitants have secrets, and even secrets within their secrets. As friendly as the book obsessed neighbors are the residents like to keep the Lane it’s own private world, as it’s founders artists William St. Fellows and his sister Flora original planed it as a creative Utopia in the 1800s. Perhaps, even if Mike and Jack and their friends can solve the mysteries within the rediscovered secret garden, the beautiful garden might well remain secret to the outside world. If there was such a garden, and there was such a place as Nottinghill Lane…

Summary: ‘No one can take away your name.’ Clearwater will lose his entire fortune unless he cracks a musical code. If Archer’s insane brother dies, their distant cousin, the evil Count Movileşti, will inherit everything, and with the influenza pandemic threatening the brother’s asylum, the outlook is grave. The only thing that can ensure Archer’s future is a legal document left behind by his grandfather, but the clue to its location is hidden within two pieces of music. Archer has one; the other is in Movileşti’s collection at Castle Rasnov. Archer dispatches two of his team to the Transylvanian castle, and two to the Clearwater Archives in London, leaving the rest to search every inch of his country house. The men face their pasts and decide their futures as loyalties are tested, and death stalks the corridors of Larkspur Hall. With Movileşti on his way to claim the inheritance, everyone has a vital part to play and everything to lose as they race against time. Set during the 1890 Russian influenza pandemic, The Clearwater Inheritance is a mystery thriller that takes us from Cornwall to Transylvania, and from the cellars of Larkspur Hall to the Orient Express. A mashup of romance, mystery and adventure, the tenth book ties up previous threads, answers questions, and sets the scene for the Clearwater future. The series is best read in order, starting with ‘Deviant Desire.’ The non-mystery prequel, ‘Banyak & Fecks’ should be read before books nine and ten.
