A murder in Kensington, Johannesburg, sets undertaker Agnes Fane on a dangerous path of discovery in Silver Murder, a riveting cozy mystery.
When Camillo Rosser, the local barber, is found dead under bizarre circumstances, the police dismiss it as an unfortunate accident. Agnes isn't convinced. Why was his body painted silver? What was he hiding? Determined to find answers, Agnes partners with Dr. Reitz, a skeptical but resourceful ally.
Their investigation takes them deep into Johannesburg's secrets, uncovering a smuggling ring and revealing tensions that Camillo's charm hid all too well. Each clue Agnes uncovers brings her closer to exposing the truth-but also puts her directly in the killer's crosshairs.
Will Agnes solve the mystery before it's too late? Or will the murderer ensure that Camillo's secrets-and Agnes-are buried for good?
Fans of historical mysteries with intelligent, fearless heroines will fall in love with Silver Murder.

I reread this earlier and was a bit grossed out that I thought it was a good plot. Past Elle tried so I'm proud of her for that but I do find it discusting.

I'm leaving this one up and not deleting it because it will be fun later to compare how much my writing has improved as well as my covers. I did update the cover to one that looks a bit better.

His finger trailed up my thigh ever so gently causing my pussy complete torture. He knew what he was doing. He knew this was driving me completely crazy. Just as his fingers were trying to push past my underwear my hand grabbed onto his wrist. "Don't," I warned, in a low voice making sure nobody would notice. "Watch me fuck you in front of every single person here unless Tobias stops looking at you like that." He explained. I glanced over to Tobias who was looking angrier than ever. If Tobias didn't stop looking at me not only would my husband keep to his word, someone would send a bullet through his skull. *+*+* Scarlett Salvadore was to be married to a man she hated with all her heart to increase her father's power. Aleksander Petrov was to be married to a woman he hated with all his heart to make amends with some of the Italian mafia. When the two of them meet at a club without knowing their identities they are immediately drawn to each other. What will happen when the two of them discover each other's identity? Will it grow the passion they have for each other or will their families history destroy it? *+*+* "I hope you realize that you belong to me now. In fact, you've always belonged to me, before and after the wedding ring on that finger of yours." I rolled my eyes at his words, still not forgetting the things he said to me before. "I'm just as much yours as you are mine, and don't you forget it, Aleksander." I snapped, pointing at his hard chest. "Prove it." A smirk appeared on my lips. Men in the mafia always use their wives for sex. But why can't it be the women using their husband's? *+*+* Far from a cliché Started: Thursday 26th August 2021 Finished: Monday 15th August 2022 RANKINGS: 11 in Lust 6 in Italian 1 in Strong Language 1 in explicitConcluída

A Very Messy Business In Belgravia
*** OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2021 - HONORABLE MENTION *** The year is 1907, and Amalthea Huntley, Countess of Claremont, is bored. Recently widowed at a young age, she finds very little to entertain her in Edwardian London, until an unusual turn of events at a society party plants the seed of an idea. Lady detective? Why not? It would only be a hobby after all. Lending her considerable powers of observation to some of her closer acquaintances to help resolve their more sensitive issues. After all, what could be so difficult? An instance of minor household theft here, a brief indiscretion there. And it would serve to pass the time. Yes, she resolved. With some careful thought, she was sure she could pull it off, and it would certainly liven things up. Little did Amalthea know that she had bitten off far more than she could chew, when she suddenly finds herself embroiled in a dangerous murder investigation, her only ally being an attractive but rather disagreeable private investigator with a secretive past and a strong dislike for opinionated women. Still, if she wasn't careful, she could find that the biggest threat to her latest diversion was not the case at all, but rather an unexpected something, or someone, a little closer to home. This story is dedicated to Dickie, who acted as my consultant in all things historical. Highest Rankings: #1 historicalmystery (March 2021) #1 crimeromance (March 2021)Concluída
