That’s what I saw. How could I misinterpret that?” It’s April in Paris, and Cait Morgan’s just completed a stint as a visiting professor of criminal psychology at the Sorbonne. Her husband, retired homicide detective Bud Anderson, has joined her, but – when Cait witnesses what she believes is a murder – their plans to revel in the French capital’s art and architecture, history and food have to take a back seat. Encountering an unexpected ally from Cait’s past, the couple helps the Parisian police to unravel a knotty case, that’s woven around an enigmatic woman who created a world-renowned fashion house. Cait employs her unique skill set to pick apart the personal histories of the idiosyncratic people whose careers have been dedicated to creating beautiful garments…revealing a complex tapestry of lies and deceit. When Cait finally stitches together the truth, she exposes ugly secrets that have the power to leave lives in tatters…and even cut them short. In this fifteenth Cait Morgan Mystery, our favorite Welsh Canadian criminal psychologist and her stalwart husband are as dedicated to delivering justice as ever, but run up against a tightly bound set of characters who operate within the hothouse world of haute couture…where what lies beneath the surface is not everything its glamorous image suggests.

That sounds…suspicious…” When Welsh Canadian criminal psychologist Cait Morgan literally bumps into a body floating in a picturesque lagoon on the paradise island of Tahiti, she and her retired cop husband Bud Anderson find themselves engulfed by the tragedy. Before long, our investigative duo realizes that not everything is as perfect as it appears at the luxury beach resort where they’ve been hosted as ‘test guests’. Diving beneath the surface of the seemingly placid lives of the people Cait believes she has come to know, it becomes clear that many dark secrets have been lurking, hidden in the depths…and she finds herself awash with doubts about her abilities, and suspects. When another calamity befalls their group, Cait and Bud know they must act fast…because it’s time to sink, or swim. This is the fourteenth book in the series featuring the often prickly and invariably justice-driven sleuth, Cait Morgan, and her quietly determined husband, Bud Anderson.

They’re enjoying the bustling delights of Sydney, and looking forward to a few quiet days in the famed Blue Mountains. However, soon after it’s revealed that Todd once worked closely with a man convicted of a brutal slaying, the decades-old murder casts a threatening shadow over the foursome. Cait and Bud must discover the truth behind that case, as well reveal the complex reasons for an ever-growing number of deaths they fear might be associated with it, before tragedy can engulf Cait’s family. Packed with local color, and quirky, memorable characters, this thirteenth book in the series is certainly unlucky for some. Will it prove to be the same for Cait and Bud…and for Cait’s family?

But an unexpected death at the desert retreat puts more than a wrinkle in their plans. Is the Faceting for Life movement, of which their host is a devotee, just a harmless framework for life-affirming activities, or a façade for a cult where no one is quite who they appear to be? In the twelfth Cait Morgan Mystery, Cait and Bud arrive at their remote destination keen to relax and indulge, only to discover that Cait might have – for the first time in her life – truly met her match. And her adversary’s agenda? Well, it’s anything but restful…indeed, it’s both wicked, and deadly.

The trip is supposed to be filled with art galleries, good food, and Christmas spirit, but an untimely death at a posh dinner party threatens to send shock waves through the upper strata of London society. Cait and Bud’s desire to seek out the truth is blocked by a shadowy figure who’s been tasked with keeping the incident hush-hush, but as the body-count rises not even his invisible masters can shut down the investigation. This is the eleventh Cait Morgan Mystery, and it finds our usually unstoppable duo running up against the immoveable machinery of power…with tragic consequences.

It’s Gordy. He’s dead.” Welsh criminal psychologist and globetrotting sleuth, Cait Morgan, and her retired-cop husband Bud Anderson, are enjoying some well-deserved peace and quiet at home, in moody, mountainous British Columbia. The sudden death of a neighbor is a significant loss for them both, so Cait’s honored when Gordy Krantz’s “unusual” will requests that she eulogize him at his memorial. However, delving into the dead man’s background becomes a pressing priority when a puzzling theft, and some surprising discoveries, put our favourite sleuths on high alert. Might someone living in their seemingly tight-knit – and certainly off-beat – rural community have wanted their neighbor dead? And if so, are more people they know at risk? The tenth Cait Morgan Mystery forces Cait and Bud to use the skills they’ve honed tackling cases around the world to unmask a killer who’s too close to home for comfort!

He’s harmless…” Welsh Canadian globetrotting sleuth, and professor of criminal psychology, Cait Morgan, is supposed to be “celebrating” her fiftieth birthday in Jamaica with her ex-cop husband Bud Anderson. But when the body of the luxury estate’s owner is discovered locked inside an inaccessible tower, Cait and her fellow guests must work out who might have killed him – even if his murder seems impossible. Could the death of the man who hosted parties in the 1960s attended by Ian Fleming and Noël Coward be somehow linked to treasure the legendary Captain Henry Morgan might have buried at the estate? Or to the mission Bud and his secret service colleagues have been sent to the island to undertake?

Then nothing was ever ordinary again.’ The women of the WISE Enquiries Agency are asked to look into a tragic death that happened back in 1984: four girls visited a small Welsh mining village awash with outsiders, due to the memorial service being held in honor of its most famous son, but only three came back. With Carol leading the investigation, ably supported by Annie, they admit they’re a bit stumped, until the possibility of a promising lead arises from an unexpected quarter. But discovering if a murder was committed decades ago – and, if so, by whom – might be the least of their worries, on this occasion. Meanwhile, Christine is finding herself challenged by her role as a new mother – yet still manages to get stuck into unravelling an even more historic puzzle dating back to Elizabethan times, and Mavis is somewhat incapacitated – meaning she falls prey to dowager duchess Althea’s machinations involving a member of her staff. With the reopening of the Old School as an artisans’ hub in the village of Anwen-by-Wye on the horizon, as well as the prospect of a Mothering Sunday celebration that Althea’s determined no one will ever forget, it’s all go for everyone – which means that a favor Annie has promised she’ll do for Marjorie Pritchard runs the risk of being put on the back burner...not something Marjorie is pleased about. This is the thirteenth book in this beloved series set in Wales, and – once again – our softly-poached private eyes find themselves facing a variety of cases, involving varying degrees of jeopardy...though all with the potential to prove life-changing.

They’re tackling the delicate case alone because Christine Wilson-Smythe is trapped in London until her baby is born, where she battles boredom by burrowing into the woes of a couple of wine snobs. Meanwhile, Mavis MacDonald has accompanied dowager duchess Althea Twyst to the family’s Scottish pile, where time with offspring is supposed to be the focus, until a very significant person from Mavis’s past appears with an alarming problem she feels compelled to investigate...leading to a situation that threatens Althea’s elaborate – and not entirely welcome – plans for Burns Night. Despite the women of the WISE Enquiries Agency being scattered around the UK, they still manage to act as a strong team, especially when a plea from Henry, Duke of Chellingworth, gets them to stand as one: his wife’s chum, Val Jenkins – once best known as TV’s Curious Cook – has convinced the duchess that a healthy eating plan is needed by everyone residing at the Hall. When Henry realizes this includes himself, he takes action to try to save his favorite foods and, as a side-effect, his wife’s good friend.

But, when a body is discovered, Carol, Christine, Mavis, and Annie must scramble to rescue their agency’s professional reputation...and it becomes clear that their client kept critical information from them. Meanwhile, Dowager Duchess Althea Twyst has invited an old friend from her youthful days on the stage to produce a pantomime at the village hall. With the lives of everyone in Anwen-by-Wye turned upside down by rehearsals, a series of thefts goes unnoticed for some time...until the WISE women put two and two together. Also, with Christmas on the horizon, the Duke and Duchess of Chellingworth are looking forward to welcoming their extended family to enjoy the local celebrations. However, they find themselves quite unprepared for the bewildering situation that arises when Lady Clementine and her husband arrive.

Meanwhile, Annie Parker tries to find out where a garden gnome has got to in the bucolic Welsh village of Anwen-by-Wye, and Carol Hill and Christine Wilson-Smythe help the duke and duchess work out who’s behind some spiteful shenanigans…which are leading to chaos in the kitchens of Chellingworth Hall.

They’re expecting some memorable festivities – which might owe more to ancient Welsh traditions than they imagine, if Dowager Althea has anything to do with it. What they aren’t expecting are the worrying twists and turns they encounter while tackling the troubling case of missing triplets, and a tragedy associated with a trove of antiques…not to mention the bizarre and disturbing “gifts” being left on the front doorsteps of some very puzzled and perturbed locals. Further complications arise when Duchess Stephanie’s parents arrive to support her through the imminent arrival of her first child: did the seemingly squeaky-clean businessman they got involved with on holiday strike a deal with them that was too good to be true? Join our softly poached professional investigators for Christmas and New Year in Wales…and find out!

Henry Devereaux Twyst, eighteenth duke of Chellingworth, is desperate to disprove murderous rumors about his ancestor before his first child is born, so he enlists the help of the women of the WISE Enquiries Agency. However, Annie is working undercover – on a case that turns out to be more deadly than anyone had imagined, and Carol is finding it difficult to juggle her responsibilities – especially when faced with a puzzling theft in the village. Meanwhile, Christine is consumed with fears about Alexander's shady colleagues, and Mavis is trying to manage the dowager's dispute with the local vicar. In the fifth WISE Enquiries Agency Mystery stately Chellingworth Hall, and the charming Welsh village of Anwen-by-Wye, both of which have more than their fair share of quirky inhabitants, are once again subjected to a host of problems that need to be solved…and the WISE women are ready to use their considerable skills to do so.
