The Maple Glade Mysteries

Maple Glade is the prettiest town on the coast: painted cottages, a working harbour, a café that knows your order before you sit down. It's also, as mystery writer Jade Reed keeps discovering, a town with a gift for burying things.

Jade came here for the quiet. What she found was a body, then another, then a whole community of people who'd rather keep a comfortable lie than face an uncomfortable truth. She has one talent that won't leave her alone — she cannot let a loose thread go — and in a place this small, every thread leads somewhere someone would rather it didn't.

Inspector Axel Ford would very much prefer she stayed out of it. He's spent nineteen years making sure nobody got close enough to cost him anything, and Jade has become the most inconvenient exception of his life.

Together they uncover the secrets beneath the surface of a town where everyone knows everyone, the past never quite stays buried, and the loveliest places hide the loudest secrets.

Cosy mysteries with warmth, wit, and a slow-burn romance — for readers who love a nosy heroine, a reluctant inspector, and a small town worth coming back to.
