A missing violinist. A rising flood. A race against time. Intrigue, music and danger collide in Whisky Valley.
After nearly being murdered last year, Rose McHugh battles anxiety as she uses her investigative skills to find her son's best friend, a famous violinist who is missing along with his priceless violin.
As floodwaters rise, Rose uncovers secrets and lies among the missing man's fellow musicians, as well as their patron and her enigmatic psychologist husband.
But when a body is found, can Rose shield her son from suspicion?
Praise for Whisky Valley:
'An intoxicating blend of suspense and melody, Whisky Valley hits all the right notes. A must-read for fans of cosy crime with a touch of mystery and a load of charm.' Joanna Jenkins, author of How to Kill a Client
'Joan Sauers masterfully intertwines intrigue, romance, dogs, and the beauty of the Australian landscape. Her vivid storytelling pulls you into a compelling world you won't be in a hurry to leave. There is a cosy quality to Whisky Valley, but it's cosy with a bite as the reader rushes towards the final dramatic showdown.' Vikki Petraitis, author of The Unbelieved
Praise for Echo Lake:
'As cosy as it is compulsive, Sauers brings the eerie beauty of winter in the Southern Highlands to life. A highly recommended, vivid read!' Jacqueline Bublitz, author of Leave the Girls Behind
'Not just a whodunnit, Echo Lake also contemplates what makes for a good life, reminds the reader of the importance of historical truth and throws in a ghost story for good measure.' Maryrose Cuskelly, author of The Cane
'Move over Miss Marple. With its indefatigable heroine, mist-shrouded setting, cast of quirky characters and as many trips to the pub as there are mysteries to solve, Echo Lake is cosy crime at its dynamic, atmospheric best - and Sauers is certainly a writer to watch.' Anna Downes, author of The Shadow House
'Full of atmosphere; the very landscape echoes both freedom and foreboding. Rose McHugh, middle-aged and newly single, is a convincing, compelling and intelligent protagonist who stumbles onto a mystery and won't let it go.' Vikki Petraitis, author of The Unbelieved
