    The Abandoned Wives and Widows Club Series

    About this series

    Life after Death is the third book in the series of thrilling, heart-warming and sometimes laugh out loud Cosy Mystery novels, that relate the mad antics of a group of sixty-something New Zealand women as they delve into the darker side of life and murder.

    The trouble started when the luscious Dave, visiting to try to patch things up with me, Lydia Thompson, was setting up Sylvia's DVD – she was moving into a new place to start life with her fiancé, Harry. Dave used a recently recorded current events programme to check it was working properly, and who did Sylvia think she saw – her husband, Doug. Trouble was, he had been declared dead years ago after disappearing on a solo hunting trip.

    What do you do when a friend thinks she could be about to commit bigamy? You start investigating of course.

    Is it Doug, or did she see a doppelganger?

    Three of the girls and I, aided and abetted by Dave, set out to prove which one Sylvia saw.

    The trail leads us out of Gisborne and to the West Coast of New Zealand, with a whole new police force to terrorise – and a whole new darker side of humanity to become tangled up with.

      Mystery, murder and mayhem in New Zealand, with mature women, amateur sleuths trying to discover who-done-it.   Lydia's husband of over forty years has died. Her first thoughts are, thank goodness he's gone at last, but whoops – did I help him on his way?   On the plus side, for the first time in her adult life she has some friends. They indulge in coffee and cake in a local cafe, and generally misbehave.   When there is another death in the family, the police say it is suicide, but Lydia knows it is nothing of the sort. Naturally the group decides to investigate, causing mayhem, especially for the local police force. As they strive to bring justice for a troubled young man and protect a young and innocent life, action, danger and suspense ensues as the inquiry takes them into the darker side of life, and they must decide how far they will go to protect family and friends.   A reader says: 'The Abandoned Wives and Widows' Club series is off to a roaring start with this action and emotion packed book.'   If you like mysteries with humour and a bite, you will love Cupboards Full of Skeletons.   Cupboards Full of Skeletons is the first novel in the Abandoned Wives and Widows' Club series of thrilling, heart-warming, sometimes laugh out loud, and sometimes dark, mystery novels. They relate the mad antics of a group of retired New Zealand women as they delve into the gritty underbelly of life and murder.
