The Chloe Essex Cozy Mysteries

Fake tans. Real crimes. And a fifty-year-old amateur sleuth who’d rather be doing anything other than unmasking killers…

Chloe Essex just wanted to launch her new business and plan her big birthday in peace. Instead, she keeps stumbling over dead bodies in the unlikeliest of places – under fairy lights, behind theatre curtains, and often in dangerously impractical heels.

Set in the delightfully dysfunctional village of Speckled Hill, these laugh-out-loud British whodunits are packed with catfights, cocktails, and just the right amount of chaos.
