The Charlotte Denver Cozy Mystery Series Book 1 - 4

Light, clean, fun, cozy mysteries, set in an English coastal town, with characters who'll stay with you long after you've finished reading, and recipes to try for yourself. No gore, graphic language, sex or violence, and no cliffhangers!

Pour yourself a nice cup of tea, put your feet up, and get acquainted with big-hearted café owner, Charlotte Denver; the well-meaning, but hilariously politically-incorrect members of her small-town community; and Pippin the dog.

Plenty of laughs, amateur sleuthing, and murder await in this four-book collection, set on England's beautiful Cornish coast, in the fictional town of St. Eves.

TAPAS, CARROT CAKE AND A CORPSE - BOOK 1
Small-town murder was never so calculated.
St. Eves is a town with real community spirit. It's the kind of town where people leave their doors open from sunrise to sunset, and friends and neighbours pop in for a chat and a nice cup of tea without waiting to be invited. No one's ever too busy for a chat and a nice cup of tea in St. Eves.
That wonderful way of life is threatened, though, following the arrival of strangers to the town. Strangers who are swiftly followed by murder when, on a peaceful morning, a handsome stranger meets an untimely end.
Is the killer the wealthy boat owner with the big bank balance and the bad attitude? Or is it his attractive younger wife, who's keeping secrets and telling lies? Or is someone else responsible?
As Charlotte Denver takes up the challenge to help find the killer before they strike again, she uncovers a shocking plot that rocks the close-knit community to its core, and a twist in the tale that no one saw coming. Will you?

FUDGE CAKE, FELONY AND A FUNERAL - BOOK 2
Grief, greed and grudges - the perfect recipe for murder.
The townspeople bid a final goodbye to a much-loved member of the community. When relatives of the deceased arrive in St. Eves, it's not long before tempers flare as they become consumed by greed, intent to get their hands on the family fortune. As hostilities go from bad to worse, Charlotte inherits a new addition to her family and becomes involved in a feud which threatens to rid her beloved town of a long-standing landmark.
And when a body is discovered, will she find the vital clue to the killer's identity before anyone else is bumped off?

SPARE RIBS, SECRETS AND A SCANDAL - BOOK 3
Sometimes it's the people you think you know best who are keeping the biggest secrets.
As Charlotte prepares to move into her new home, life couldn't be sunnier. However, when old friends return to the town, tragedy follows close behind and it's not long before she finds herself trying to clear her best friend's name as long-hidden secrets and a scandal from years gone by are revealed. In a race against time to save a loved one, Charlotte needs every one of her amateur sleuthing skills as the story reaches it shocking climax. Will she be too late to save the day?

PUMPKINS, PERIL AND A PAELLA - BOOK 4A ghost from the past resurfaces at Halloween and Charlotte soon realises they'll stop at nothing to get what they want.

When a dead body is discovered during the annual St. Eves' Halloween fair, it isn't long before Charlotte finds herself up to her neck in helping to solve another murder mystery. This one, however, proves to be a little too close to home for her liking as she finds herself, and the man she loves, in danger. With clues to find, a killer to catch and a wedding to organise, Charlotte has her work cut out.
