Book Description

There's a wedding around the corner, until Randall sniffs out a body in the sea... The last thing Daphne Jones expects to see as she stands on Rivers End jetty, practicing the ceremony for a wedding, is a body floating by. Suspicion falls on her friend Christie when the deceased is identified as an ex-employee, a woman who left under a cloud. Nobody who knows Christie believes she's responsible - except the police. Roping in best friend, Elizabeth, Daphne sets out to run her own investigation. Why was the deceased dressed in winter clothing on a summer's day? And why had she begged Christie to meet her late at night? With the police about to arrest Christie, Daphne races to find evidence to exonerate her, as well as lead to the real killer. Will the wedding be postponed and the wrong person arrested? Not if Daphne can solve the puzzle in time.

Book Description

Daphne Jones loves a romance and nothing makes her heart happier more than officiating a wedding. A remote park in a valley in the majestic Otway Ranges is the perfect setting for her clients to say, "I do". And even better is the prospect of spending the first night ever camping in their new caravan with her husband, John. But not everyone is there to celebrate with the newlyweds. After an unpleasant altercation during the reception, someone is found dead in the camping ground where all the guests are staying. And John is the prime suspect. Determined to prove his innocence and alarmed that the real killer is still out there, Daphne grabs her notebook and begins her own investigation. But the killer is among them and following her suspect is about to land her in a whole lot of trouble. The Daphne Jones Mysteries are later in life camping cozies with a travelling wedding officiant and a regional, small-town Aussie twist. A light and quirky story with a nosy main character. Time of Daph fits between Daph on the Beach and Till Daph Do Us Part but can be read on its own.

The Abalone Shell Recently divorced Hope St. Cloud is in need of a fresh perspective, and she knows exactly where to find it—at her family’s cottage in Sea Glass Cove. Here, she and her daughter will be able to find a new rhythm with just the two of them. She isn’t prepared for the tantalizing attraction to local gallery owner and widower Owen McKinney. It’s been three years since the accident that stole all Owen held dear. When Hope and her adorable daughter stroll into his gallery, he finds in them all the joy and adventure he lost. Could this be a second chance at happiness or is her divorce too fresh? A sign straight from his past reminds him that he’s still alive and that this new love is worth fighting for. The Driftwood Promise From a young age, Erin McKinney has been taught that there’s only one man she can rely on—her older brother. The rest just aren’t worth the trouble. But Gideon St. Cloud might be the man to show her that good men still exist. He certainly made quite an impression the last time he was in town. Returning to Sea Glass Cove to cool off in the middle of a heated custody battle for his son, Gideon knows he should ignore his curiosity about Erin, but he can’t get her out of his head. In the shelter of her driftwood forts, he’ll find out why she distrusts men… and discover how he can prove he isn’t like the men who hurt her.

Book Description

Daphne is a marvelous story of literary fascination and possession; of stolen manuscripts and forged signatures; of love lost, and love found; of the way into imaginary worlds, and the way out again. The book is written in three entwined parts, which follow Daphne du Maurier herself, the beautiful, tomboyish, passionate author of the enormously popular Gothic novel Rebecca; John Alexander Symington, eminent editor and curator of the Brontës' manuscripts, who by 1957 had been dismissed from the Brontë Parsonage Museum in disgrace after being accused of stealing and forging Brontë manuscripts and who became Daphne's correspondent; and a nameless modern researcher on the trail of Daphne, Rebecca, Alexander Symington, and the Brontës.
