DEAD CALM
Book One in The Pippa Rafferty Mysteries
Every paradise has its secrets.
Travel writer Pippa Rafferty arrives in Santorini on assignment, expecting to write about a luxurious villa, long lunches overlooking the caldera, hidden cafés and an easy story to take home.
Instead, a guest is found dead.
As rumours spread through the whitewashed villages, Pippa begins to notice the quiet details everyone else overlooks. And the story she came to write becomes something else entirely.
DEAD CALM blends destination fiction with a classic whodunnit, set among the villages, terraces and dramatic coastline of Santorini.

BITTER GROVE
Book Two in The Pippa Rafferty Mysteries
Some histories refuse to stay buried.
Travel writer Pippa Rafferty arrives on the Amalfi Coast expecting sunshine, lemon groves and an enviable assignment at a beautiful family estate.
Instead, she finds a household under strain.
Old loyalties are shifting. Money and inheritance are creating fractures. And when a death turns unease into suspicion, the elegant façade begins to crack.
Pippa has no intention of becoming involved. But as conversations contradict one another and long-held secrets surface, she begins to realise that what happened at the estate may be tied to much more than one terrible night.
