Overview: Welcome to my profile, lovely to see you. “Have you always been a writer?” is a question writers are frequently asked. Yes, among other things is often the reply. In my case I think I should be in the Guinness Book of Records for the variety of work I have done. Advertising, PR, theatre, cabaret, Travel Courier, Gift Shop Manager (cruise ships), Legal Secretary. This last fulfilling my parents’ dream that I get a safe, secure job. Hmmm. Until I developed RSI and got laid off without compensation. But I have always written and became an internationally published travel writer. Now I am a published novelist. I love writing cozy crime and, as I have lived in other countries I sometimes set my books there. ‘Death of a Copycat’ and ‘Irresistible You’ (Jemma Linley) are both set in Florida and the Cleo Marjoribanks book ‘Poltergeists in the Parador’ is set in Spain. I actually had the idea when in Portugal but as Cleo speaks Spanish …
Genre: Mystery
1. Homicide in Hampshire
One evening when Cleo Marjoribanks returned home she discovers the body of her housekeeper (Janet) – in the swimming pool. It appears that the housekeeper’s husband (Dan) and Cleo’s Volvo are missing. His body is discovered on a beach. He had been shot and the car is found hidden deep in the forest.
Paula Linley, Cleo’s friend has a teenage daughter, Margaret, whom it is discovered had known Dan. Paula found Margaret’s diary and learned that Dan had had the teenager look after a sealed envelope with a small book inside. Both Dan’s brother and and Janet’s brother turn up looking for money. Then the village gossip is murdered in Cleo’s garden in an attempt to frame Cleo and near the end of the book is a very strange car chase. Eventually Cleo is threatened, twice in one morning. The DCI in charge of the case is David ‘Steaming’ Kettle who knew Cleo when they were children. Does a romance develop?
2. Dirty Deeds in Downdene
Cleo is back in her all colourful caftan glory. She encounters more murders and with help from her friend, Primrose Day, tries to solve them. DCI David ‘Steaming’ Kettle and his team are on the job and, of course, there is the clash of two strong personalities – Cleo and David.
When an estate agent drops dead at the end of a Dinner, his wife insists it was a heart attack. But was it? Cleo becomes involved and finds a long list of suspects. Then a woman golfer is killed in a hit and run and another is clubbed to death on the golf course. Are all three murders connected? There isn’t a car chase in this book, but Cleo and the villagers do have a night time adventure.
