Travel has always been about more than ticking destinations off a list.
It's about the conversations over dinner that last for hours. The tiny cafés you stumble across by accident. The locals who tell you where to watch the sunset. The moments you almost miss because everyone else is looking somewhere else.
That's why I created Pippa Rafferty.
She's a travel writer first and an amateur sleuth second. She never goes looking for mysteries, but she has a habit of noticing the little things everyone else misses.
The Pippa Rafferty Mysteries are written for readers who love beautiful destinations, unforgettable food and clever mysteries that unfold one observation at a time.
So come and explore the world with us.
You never know what you'll discover.
