Cecilia Peartree – Crime in the Community (#1) Christopher thinks he has his life under control until the mysterious Amaryllis arrives in the little town, spreading chaos and confusion in her wake.
Suddenly he isn’t sure about anything anymore. Will he learn to relax and go with the flow or will he try desperately to remain in charge even in the face of domestic upsets and strange things happening all around him?
This is the first in a series of gentle, quirky mysteries set in the small town of Pitkirtly in Scotland.
Cecilia Peartree – Reunited in Death (#2) When Jemima Stevenson helps to organise a Pitkirtly Homecoming day she has no idea that she has invited some of her long-lost cousins into danger. Reunited in Death is a cautionary tale for family historians and an entertaining read for others. Don’t forget, there are some family occasions you won’t want to put in your scrapbook!
A local librarian goes missing. Just as family researchers from across the world gather in Pitkirtly, news arrives that her body has been found in the river. The Homecoming day must go ahead as it’s too late to cancel, but before long a murder takes place. As the police investigations get under way, Jemima and her friends race to do the research that they hope will uncover the secret behind the deaths before the murderer catches up with Jemima herself.
Cecilia Peartree – A Reformed Character (#3) Can anyone ever really change? Christopher and Amaryllis ask themselves this question when a young man they already know as a troublemaker knocks at the door of their holiday caravan one wet day.
Their attempt to answer it takes them and their friends on a dangerous journey from a Pitkirtly ice-cream shop to a knitting club and then to a cattery before it reaches a deadly conclusion in an old railway yard.
Cecilia Peartree – Death at the Happiness Club (#4) When the Happiness Club comes to town, Maisie Sue sees it as an opportunity to rediscover romance, Jock McLean regards it with suspicion, and Jemima and Dave look forward to taking part in new activities with their friends. Amaryllis and Chief Inspector Smith go along to keep an eye on developments on their patch. As for Christopher, he misses the start of the excitement because of a prior engagement – walking the Fife Coastal Path with a figure from his past.
But before anyone has had very much fun, it becomes clear that while the Happiness Club brings good times to some, to others it offers only desolation and death.
Cecilia Peartree – Frozen in Crime (#5) As Christmas approaches, deep snow cloaks the little town of Pitkirtly, an armed robbery takes place and Jemima’s husband Dave disappears. Amaryllis, searching for adventure, wants to go on an epic quest but Christopher, needless to say, isn’t at all happy about the prospect. They both find themselves trekking through the snow anyway. Meanwhile at the police station Charlie Smith and his men, trapped at work by the weather, celebrate Christmas in style with microwaved sprouts and virtual crackers. Things can only get worse as, under cover of snow and ice, two desperate men make their evil plans.
Cecilia Peartree – The Queen of Scots Mystery (#6) What would you do if you thought you were about to lose everything you cared about most? Charlie Smith thought his career was more important to him than anything else. Amaryllis valued her freedom. Christopher valued his friends, especially Amaryllis. Neil Macrae, ‘the pub landlord with no name’, couldn’t face the thought of losing his pub. There were others who couldn’t bear to lose Neil Macrae.
Cecilia Peartree – A Tasteful Crime (#7) When the television programme Open Kitchen comes to town, there are various reactions from the people of Pitkirtly. Jemima is glad of the opportunity to show off her baking skills, while Amaryllis looks forward to the mayhem that could result from a ‘healthy eating’ procession, and Christopher is aghast when he finds his ex-wife working on the project. But they don’t expect murder to be on the menu.
Cecilia Peartree – The Christmas Puzzle (#8) Through a random combination of circumstances, Jock McLean and Amaryllis find themselves playing Santa Claus and his elf respectively at Pitkirtly Christmas Market, a blatant attempt to lure tourists away from Edinburgh. Proceedings are interrupted by a murder on Pitkirtly Island (not really an island) and by the activities of a new organisation called FOOP.
A sequence of events occurs which results not only in Christopher and Amaryllis having a picnic in the Cultural Centre but in Jock McLean buying new socks for the first time in living memory.
Cecilia Peartree – Death in a Cold Spring (#9) It’s a cold spring in Pitkirtly. Amaryllis’s campaign to be elected to the local Council is approaching a conclusion, and the local minister has set up the Face of Pitkirtly art exhibition to show off the creativity of the young people of the area.
Things begin to go wrong soon after two young artists arrive unexpectedly at the Cultural Centre to set up their artwork. Before long gruesome discoveries are made, people go missing and are sometimes found again, and Keith Burnet of the local police force suffers from a sudden work overload.
Cecilia Peartree – Closer to Death in a Garden (#10) Jemima’s and Dave’s visit to a garden centre is cut unexpectedly short, while Jock and Amaryllis both make the same grim discovery at the same time from different directions.
Alpacas get in the way, and Christopher and his friends turn to a local artist and to the internet to fill in the parts the police don’t seem to be able to reach. Two mysterious men cause trouble in town and past misdeeds come back to haunt people.
