About this series
Rumors about the derelict house I inherited after my mother's death, were made worse by the discovery of a skeleton in the adjacent barn. Solving that mystery almost cost me my life, but as the beautifully restored house is now my new home, I'm eager to learn more about it and the history of Millers Track, the dirt road on which it stands.
My approach to Amelia, proud owner of Roderick Hall and president of the Scottsferne Historical Society, is initially rebuffed. When a mutilated body is discovered on her extensive property, I reach out to support her and we become fast friends. As police struggle to identify the corpse, more rumors emerge, and gossip abounds. The recovery of a long-lost book provides fresh rumors about my old house, and Scottsferne's history. It also brings Amelia's heritage into question, and resurrects the legend of a lost Spanish treasure on Victoria's shipwreck coast; but is it fact or fiction?
It is Rex, my faithful canine companion, who eventually leads the way to discover answers to rumors and bring fugitives to justice.

- Faraday's Folly: The Scottsferne Chronicles, #1
1
Annette Harding is the star of Faraday's Folly. She says: Rex, a gorgeous German shepherd, is beside me when we find a skeleton in the barn of a property I've just inherited from my father. Then, a neighbour tells me there are rumours of a mineral spring somewhere on the land. I'm intrigued by the thought of my own mineral spring, but I am determined to discover the truth about the skeleton. Was my own father involved? What about his best friend who sold him the property? My search takes us on a road trip to a remote opal mining town in South Australia. Along the way, we meet David and his grandfather Henry (Pops) Dawson. What they teach me about dowsing encourages me to search my new property for the mythical mineral spring. Could it provide the basis for the Scottsferne Spa and Wellness Centre I now dream about establishing?
