Murder, Mystery and Mischief …

Welcome to the first book of the Kate Kershaw mysteries – Money for Nothing.

Chasing stolen school funds should have been harmless – until Kate Kershaw uncovers secrets that prove the real danger isn’t the crime but the murderous cover-up.

If you enjoy twisted and complicated mysteries with strong female leads, tangled friendships, and secrets hiding behind polite smiles, you’ll feel right at home with Kate in Pennington.

Money for Nothing blends small-town intrigue with sharp humour and the chaos of family life.

Coming soon on Kindle.

Meet Kate Kershaw

Sixteen years ago, she ran away with a rock star.

Now she’s back, and trouble isn’t far behind.

Kate Kershaw left Pennington sixteen years ago on rock star Mac Jones’s tour bus.

When she should have been looking out for her best friend Jessica, Kate was kissing a man wearing eyeliner and heading for the bright lights of his arena tour.

Now Mac is dead and Kate is back in Pennington, hoping to rekindle the friendship she abandoned all those years ago.

She finds Jessica has changed. A lot. But could she really have changed so much that she would steal money from the school?

What begins as an idle attempt to clear Jessica’s name draws Kate into a world of secrets, scandal and people she thought she knew. People who now have plenty to hide.

Armed with curiosity, determination and a knack for asking questions others would rather avoid, Kate soon discovers that getting to the truth may be far more dangerous than she expected.
