Canvas, Corks & Crimes (Book 1)

​

One minute Catherine is dragging Massimo’s body to a freshly dug hole in her immaculate garden. The next minute she is a suspect in an artist's death.

It all starts with murder, fake designer handbags, blackmail and not taking responsibility for one's actions.

Antoine is shot through the heart at a sip-and-paint event. Was it the woman he was blackmailing? His long-suffering wife who stood by him through all his dalliances with younger models. Or Della, the neighbour who has too many secrets to count? Noah, the son he refused to acknowledge, because of the colour of his skin. What about the octogenarians who came for the free wine? Or Catherine, who swears blind it’s not her. Not this time.

Catherine races to uncover the hints and clues as she doesn’t want the handsome Detective Fouche to find her hidden garden of delightfully toxic plants. And discover she has a secret or two of her own.

The trail takes Catherine from a town situated in a valley on the wine route to the streets of Cape Town.

Will she unmask the killer before her secrets are made public? Or will the killer catch her because she is getting too close?

It's murder at the Bandore (Book 2)

​

One moment Catherine is slipping foxglove into the head of the PTA’s coffee. The next she wonders if one of the stars of The Bonafide Housewives reality show death was an accident or murder.

It all starts with drama, fake friends, and more drama. Brenda, the producer of the show insists the ladies drink wine and lots of it. She’s desperate to make the show a success. But at what level of deviousness is she willing to go to?

Thandi is found face down in the jacuzzi. Is it an accidental drowning brought on by too much wine? Her “friends” from the Bonafide Housewives show think it is. Jill, the blonde-haired housewife whose nail business is failing feels guilty. Lerato, the restauranteur seems sad, but is that an act too? Then there’s Gita, who massages her ayurvedic products onto anyone who comes within an inch of her aura. Fayth, the supermodel who vapes in secret. 

Detective Brant finds Catherine annoying and has called for an accidental death. But Catherine knows something is wrong. After all, she has done away with people herself. Catherine can spot a murder a mile away.

The trail takes Catherine from a town situated in a valley on the wine route to The Bandore—a spa nestled on the side of a mountain range.

Will she be able to prove Thandi was indeed murdered? Or will the killer get away?
