Copper Waters is a unique story with family secrets and corruption beyond my expectations.
~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book
It’s been a whole lot of fun getting to know these characters. So many different personalities. And so many secrets and obstacles to overcome. I enjoyed each book as much as the others and would be quite happy if more were to come.

If you enjoy a cozy mystery set in a different locale with an ongoing storyline, then you will probably enjoy this series very much.

A rural New Zealand vacation turns poisonous.
Antiquities expert Annalisse Drury and tycoon Alec Zavos are at an impasse in their relationship when Alec refuses to clear up a paternity issue with an ex-lover.
Frustrated with his avoidance when their future is at stake, Annalisse accepts an invitation from an acquaintance to fly to New Zealand—hoping to escape the recent turbulence in her life.
But even Annalisse’s cottage idyll on the family sheep farm isn’t immune to intrigue.
Alec sends a mutual friend and detective, Bill Drake, to follow her, and a local resident who accompanies them from the Christchurch airport dies mysteriously soon after. A second violent death finds Annalisse and Bill at odds with the official investigations.
The local police want to close both cases as quickly as possible—without unearthing the town’s dirty secrets.
As she and Bill pursue their own leads at serious cost, the dual mysteries force Annalisse to question everything she thought she knew about family ties, politics, and the art of small-town betrayal.
