Patricia Fisher Village Mystery

When a climber suspiciously falls to his death and a local artist has her dog stolen, both cases fall into the lap of local sleuth, Patricia Fisher...and so starts an adventure that will see her travel the world.

She over 50, feisty, and oh so good at solving mysteries. Patricia Fisher is not your average woman. To start with she lives in a 73-room manor house and travels with a Jamaican butler who is part ninja and fakes his Downton Abbey accent. Then add to those facts that she just opened a private investigations business and throw in the worrying bit where people keep trying to kill her. When a climber suspiciously falls to his death and a local artist has her dog stolen, Patricia finds herself investigating two cases that seem to have no motive and no clues.

Patricia Fisher is trying to settle into village life, but the dead don’t won’t let her be. She’s a PI and used to investigating murder, but her latest case is just...well, it’s spooky. What started as a missing person case goes south fast when a body is found in the woods marked with pagan symbols.

When the local goddess of cake is found impaled with her own pallet knife, the victim's husband is found holding the murder weapon. It's an open and shut case until he calls Patricia Fisher. With a surprising new assistant in tow, your favorite middle-aged sleuth has all the help she will need, but this case is a tough one for everyone she suspects instantly becomes the next victim. With the village fete a week away, cooks are revving up to win the coveted best cake prize, especially now that the favorite is in the morgue. Can the killer really be one of the lovely old ladies?

When an old school friend begs for her help, Patricia takes on a case more suited to her friend Tempest Michaels - a criminal dubbed "the Banshee" is attacking people in their homes and paralyzing them with its scream. The police believe it is a burglar with a unique twist, but Tempest seems to know differently. The two teams join forces again, but this case will test them to their limits.

She spent a fortune on the dress. It would have been cheaper to buy unicorn horn, but before she can even put it on, a scream splits the air...and the first body is found. Patricia and her friends are the special guests of the world’s third richest man, her benefactor, the Maharaja of Zangrabar. At a banquet thrown to celebrate a new peace treaty between his country, and long-time hostile neighbour, Itarnia, the murder of Itarnia’s ambassador does not bode well. To prevent a return to war, Patricia and her team must unravel the clues to find the killer.

Amid glistening icebergs and chill winds, the Aurelia sails from Newfoundland to Iceland. It's a beautiful setting...for revenge. Patricia and friends are back on the ship with a few new faces alongside the old. It ought to be cause for celebration but the Aurelia is suffering a series of mishaps and the captain, devilishly handsome Alistair Huntley, suspects sabotage is to blame. But who is the saboteur? What would motivate a person to damage a ship in frigid waters and what might that person do next?

Invited to a big anniversary party in the suite next door, Patricia Fisher is pleased to celebrate the idea that marriage can work. Successful internet billionaire Howard Berkowitz and his wife, Shandy, seem very happy, even after 30 years together...that is until a shot rings out, and Shandy’s sister falls to the deck, stone dead.

Targeted by underworld boss, the Godmother, for inadvertently interfering with their operations around the world, Patricia Fisher is trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse which can have only one outcome - someone is going to lose. The deck is stacked heavily in the Godmother’s favour, but will her supreme confidence create an opening? Patricia and friends have nowhere left to run and everything to do if they are to expose the hidden organisation and topple the Godmother’s powerbase.

When a famous artist boards the Aurelia, no one expects his work to be interrupted by a death, especially when the victim is the artist’s muse who seemed vibrant and full of life just hours before. The official verdict is suicide, but that doesn’t sit well with our famous sleuth and all too soon, she is poking her nose where someone doesn’t want it.
