  American expat Tabitha Knight has found a new life in postwar Paris, along with a delightful friend in aspiring 
  chef Julia Child. Yet there are perils in peacetime too, as a killer infiltrates one of the city’s most famous fashion 
  houses. 
  If there’s one art the French have mastered as well as fine cuisine, it’s haute couture. Tabitha and Julia are 
  already accustomed to sampling the delights of the former. Now fashion is returning to the forefront in Paris, 
  as the somber hues of wartime are replaced by vibrant colors and ultra-feminine silhouettes, influenced by 
  Christian Dior’s “New Look.” 
  Tabitha and Julia join a friend for a private showing at an exclusive fashion atelier, Maison Lannet. The event 
  goes well, but when Tabitha returns later that evening to search for a lost glove, she finds the lights still on—and 
  the couturier dead, strangled by a length of lace. The shop manager suspects that a jealous rival—perhaps 
  Dior himself—committed the crime. Tabitha dismisses that idea, but when another body is found, it’s apparent 
  that someone is targeting employees of Maison Lannet. 
  Meanwhile, Tabitha’s Grand-père and Oncle Rafe are in the midst of their own design-related fracas, as 
  they squabble over how to decorate their new restaurant. And there are strange break-ins at a nearby shoe 
  store—but are the crimes related? It’s up to Tabitha to don her investigative hat and find answers before 
  someone commits another fatal fashion faux pas.

  Christmas lights on palm trees and Santa hats on plastic pink flamingoes are far from the snowy landscape Maureen and her beloved golden retriever, Finn, are used to. But Maureen is determined to make this a holiday to remember—which means finding a way to promote Haven House on a shoestring. Fortunately, Haven's vintage movie theater, the Paramount, has come up with a great "Twelve Days of Christmas" idea. They'll feature an impressive list of the best classic Christmas movies ever made—shown by one-time movie actor-turned-projectionist Decklin Monroe . . . 
   
   
    
  But nobody bothered to tell Maureen that the Paramount is haunted by the ghost of a man who was murdered a few years back. Haven's top cop Frank Hubbard doesn't believe in ghosts but, believing that Decklin Monroe was somehow involved, he wants a reluctant Maureen's help. 
   
   
    
  That plan is derailed when, on the first day of the festival, a fresh murder victim is found at the theater. Now Maureen has to defend her staff and guests, while trying to keep her high-spirited resident ghosts out of the picture—before they have company for the holidays . . .

  When the treasured 15th century Cherringham Chalice is stolen from St. James, it looks at first like the work of a professional gang, robbing local churches. But Jack and Sarah realise that there must have been someone on the inside, helping the thieves - and they start to investigate. Can it really be possible that a member of the church council is guilty? Soon Jack and Sarah discover that even in this world of trust and faith there can be secrets, lies ... and real danger.
  
  Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby.
  
  Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.
