A Poisoning at the Pageant

2022

With her boyfriend’s mother, Violet MacDonald, cast as the prime suspect, the police think they’ve silenced the critics and aren’t auditioning anyone else for the part of villain. It’s up to Izzy to investigate, shining a spotlight on the many suspects so she can bring the killer front and centre, and prove the police wrong. Can Izzy solve the mystery before the final curtain drops and it's ‘lights-out’ for Mrs MacDonald?

A Heist at Harvest

2023

A daring theft. A convincing impostor. And a ubiquitous trifle. Scottish horse trainer Izzy Paterson has double trouble to deal with: an audacious financial crime, and a perplexing equine enigma. The victims of both mysteries—the unconventional local vicar and a talented teenager—are innocents caught out by the machinations of dastardly villains. It's a race against time—and some wily criminals—as Izzy tries to track down the perpetrators before the reverend's reputation is ravaged and the village gala day is ruined. Can she unearth the truth before the conflicted cleric is charged with a crime he didn't commit?
