'Every small town has secrets, but it seems Hoopers Corner has more than most.

'In this third book of the Rosie Hart mysteries, Rosie begins to unravel those shocking secrets when she steps up to prove the innocence of her newest clients, Francine and Edith Percival, the acclaimed elderly candy makers. They are accused of murder when their long lost great-nephew is found dead in their home; a great nephew they had never met nor heard of before he’d recently inserted himself into their lives. But was he actually who he said he was? And what was he searching for? Because it was evident he was searching for something, something that had been long buried. Just like the town’s secrets.

'This is one puzzle that almost has Rosie flummoxed until she hits upon something that is almost impossible to comprehend, and too shocking to contemplate… but leads her to the murderer.'

1 y separately published work icon Preserving the Evidence Kaz Delaney , Australia : Golden Sands Press , 2019 19465730 2019 single work novel crime 'Baker and amateur sleuth Rosie Hart finds herself embroiled in a brand new mystery in her new hometown of Airlie Falls. There's a murder, an unidentified body, missing money, a late mayoral election challenge, a strange gathering of socialites at a mansion out of town, and strangers who aren't who they claim to be. Oh - and an unknown woman who seemed to be being forced into a car against her will on the night of the town meeting. Rosie is sure they're all connected, but the Sheriff isn't convinced, and she's afraid there'll be more bodies to add to the tally if he doesn't quickly unmask the murderer. Then all evidence suddenly points to her best friend, local newspaper owner and editor, Midge Moyal as being the murderer. Now Rosie knows she is the one who will have to prove Midge's innocence. Convinced the answers are at the mansion of the murdered man, Frederick Clausen, Rosie feels the only way to get them in to go undercover and pretend to be one of those bored socialites. It's a brief stint and proves, if nothing else, that she's no actress. But it wasn't all in vain. Answers are starting to drop into place and suddenly Rosie realizes she'll be lucky to get out of this one without more than a batch of burned Buried Treasure Cookies. ' (Publication summary)
1 y separately published work icon Chocolate and Old Lace Kaz Delaney , Australia : Golden Sands Press , 2019 19465451 2019 single work novel crime 'In the small town of Airlie Falls, Texas, everyone knows everyone’s business, and newcomer carer and wannabe-baker Rosie Hart may be surprised to find herself the sole attendee at the funeral of her client, Miss Alice Auchinschloss, but she’s gobsmacked when she discovers she’s also Miss Alice’s sole heir. When reports confirm Miss Alice was actually murdered, Rosie becomes the potential small town hero for killing off the unpleasant woman—and prime suspect in her murder.

'In a chance meeting with a helpful and handsome cowboy, Rosie discovers her newly-inherited home is ransacked, and someone is going to great effort to conceal their search. Rosie has no idea who is involved, or why, or what they were looking for, but when she’s questioned by the town’s sheriff, it becomes obvious that if she doesn’t prove her innocence, nobody else will.

'With the help of her new friend, Jonah, his family, and a nosy but canny group of snack-loving ladies in the local retirement home, Rosie conducts her own investigation to clear her name and reveal the true identity of the murderer. Discussions over mouth-watering treats bring the motley investigative team closer together - and closer to solving this intricate puzzle, but when another elderly person winds up dead, it becomes apparent that this small town is full of secrets that someone is prepared to kill for in order to keep buried. Rosie must sift through her list of clues in order to serve up the truth - before she becomes the next victim!' (Publication summary)
