​Book 1 - The Long Island Iced Tea Goodbye
​
Heather Hampton, a middle-aged, freshly divorced fashion journalist from Long Island, arrives in Dolphin Cove, New Zealand to start a new life as a beach café owner and a cocktail maker extraordinaire, not to battle a grumpy live-in chef-cum-baker, rescue feral kittens and find bodies and skeletons in cupboards. But when she is accused of poisoning her chef, she has no choice, but to get involved and find out what really happened.
With the help, and sometimes against, a semi-retired police officer and a rescue kitten, Heather discovers a few secrets, makes a couple of friends and almost ends up on a date. 
But, more importantly, will she guess who the murderer is? Can you beat her to it?
Book 2 - The Name of the Rose Water Spritzer
​
Heather and Josephine are preparing for a garden party: just a few local friends, Josephine’s finger food, Heather’s cocktails, and a little gossip. The party is ruined by rain, but there is something much more sinister happening by the new beach huts… And when the next morning Heather finds a dead body in one of the huts, the investigation begins.
Who killed Rose Waters? Was there poison on her fingertips? And why is Josephine behaving so strangely?
Book 3 - To Kill the Jungle Bird

Heather Hampton, a beach café owner and mixologist extraordinaire gets entangled in yet another murder mystery.
Her friend and employee, Chrissy, flees a violent argument with her ex, only to discover the next morning that he's been stabbed and the murder weapon is in Chrissy's car. Did Chrissy kill her ex-partner? If not her, then who?
​
Book 4 - Beach Paradise Colour Scheme

As the summer approaches, Career Crisis Café is preparing for an influx of guests. But things are far from perfect, the business is still limping, and a body is found in a hot tub on the property next door. The resemblance to a well-known Kiwi murder mystery is uncanny, but Heather won't realize it until the very end. 

Who killed Mr. Berry? Where is Gordon Archer? Can Heather and Josephine make the café business work?
Ah, and most importantly, will Heather and James ever kiss?
Book 5 - The Apple Mug Pie Murders
​
Heather and Josephine are facing an opportunity to grow their business, but another dead body gets in the way. Why did Dolly Slate die, was it really an accident and is it linked to her lawyer’s murder? Or maybe, there is another story hidden underneath?

To disentangled complicated relationships, untie life-long knots, unearth the layered mystery (and maybe another body), and simply catch up with the Career Crisis Café crew, grab a copy and start reading today.
Book 6 - Death and Taxes on a Cloud
​
Heather goes away on a business trip, hoping to attract new customers with Josephine's delicious desserts, but instead, she finds another dead body. Moreover, this is a man that she herself wished death on... So who killed the old accountant, and will the uncanny resemblance to a famous story by Agatha Christie help or hinder the investigation?

As usually in Dolphin Cove, things get complicated, old and new faces get involved, food and drinks are consumed. But most importantly, will Heather, Josephine and James discover the murderer before it's too late?

Book 7 - The Girl in the Spider's Web Pumpkin Cake
​
Yes, this is Book 8 in the series. No, you haven’t missed anything. Book 7 is coming, and you can read The Girl in the Spider’s Web… now, without worrying that this will spoil your enjoyment of the series.
I apologize for the confusion. Due to a set of circumstances, Book 8 was born before Book 7, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you, so here it is.
Heather and Josephine are busy arguing over a Halloween party: to have it or not to have it, because late October in New Zealand is more likely to be sunny, warm, and filled with fun on the beach than spooky, spine-chilling, and filled with mystery.
Or is it? But what if you find a body in your long-unused shed?

Join Heather, Josephine, James, and the rest of the Career Crisis Café crew on their new adventure discovering who the dead woman is, how she ended up in the café's shed, and why Heather needs to rethink her family connections.
