My day started early, getting Daisy ready for school. That way, Trace got a sleep in to make up for me keeping her car too long the day before. No worries there — Daisy is a great kid, as long as she’s not hassling me about my potential cholesterol intake, or insisting we have extra vegetables with our meals.

Yeah, no, that’s not really something parents (or aunts) are supposed to complain about, is it?

Our future doctor, nine years old, is currently obsessed with the health benefits of green smoothies, which was fine now she and I had both mastered the art of remembering to put the lid on the blender.

While Daisy was chopping pineapple and kale (kale! Apparently Dais and Inspector Murphy would get on like a house on fire) for our breakfast, then measuring in exact spoonfuls of plain Greek yoghurt, I finally did a bit of online research about P.S. North, whose books I had borrowed (stolen? Let’s say reclaimed) from Pam’s farmstay cottage.

She was prolific, that was for sure. There were ten novels by P.S. North, all romantic thrillers from the same publisher, with giant silver letters on the front, thick doorstoppers with taglines like “You’ll laugh your socks off” and “Who was Yvonne kissing when the plane crashed into a jungle?” and “Scorching action, sizzling sex scenes!”

There was no author photo. P.S. North’s author website was glossy and vague as to the real person behind the pen-name, but it did link to her other pen-names. P.S. North, it turned out, also wrote sassy historical mysteries as Primrose Waters, and spicy urban fantasy novels as Persephone Severn. She’d been rolling out at least two books a year for the last decade, with Primrose Waters’ back catalogue — featuring a glamorous lady sleuth in Hollywood’s 1950s — going back nearly twenty five years.

I stopped myself before ordering a bunch of them, reminding myself that reading a pile of novels was not necessary research for solving a murder, and anyway they likely wouldn’t arrive in time to make a difference.

Then I ordered the first of the Primrose Waters books anyway, because they looked excellent, and I’d probably want something relaxing to read after I solved the murder.
