Six months later, Sydney’s top PIs are back. And they pretty much haven’t slept in the meantime. Nat and Billy have built a reputation for themselves as paranormal investigators, uncovering the truth behind seemingly supernatural events. But this latest haunted house case might test them, and not just because of the owner’s throbbing sculpture collection. They’re still trying to figure out who at Baxter & Co. Security and Investigations is selling information they shouldn’t be. Billy and Nat are exhausted, but if they don’t solve this soon they won’t have a job to ruin their sleep schedule anymore.

Charlie Davies Short Cases are companion novellas to the Charlie Davies Mysteries. If you’re new here, start with LOSING YOUR HEAD, Charlie Davies Mystery #1. I might be scary, but I’ve got nothing on my mother. It’s Janine’s birthday and my nightmare: I’m the only one available to spend the big day with her. This should be interesting. When I catch a new case, Mum comes along for the ride. After all, what better way to celebrate than by tracking down the infamous Runny Pooer, a person who’s been leaving little brown presents in local gardens in the dead of the night? Featuring more pigs, poos, pumpkins and puns than ever before!
Work undercover at an electronics store? That’s a hard sell. And I thought it was going to be a good week. When my least competent coworker messes up his first investigation, I get sent in to clean up the mess. This case is a horror show: dead bodies, missing women, customer service. Basically a waking nightmare. And if working undercover in retail isn’t bad enough, my terrifying biker grandmother is in town, and it seems like she has plans for me. My work nemesis has decided to move himself (and his disgusting pet) into my spare room. And I’m pretty sure my boss Harry knows about a certain relationship that he really shouldn’t if I want to keep my job… Then again, undercover in retail? Maybe getting fired wouldn’t be so bad after all.
Charlie Davies has returned – and apparently so has Topher. Oh brother. All the signs point to my big bro, Topher, being back in town. The trouble is, I can't find him – and I’m not the only one looking. Even for an amazing PI, this is a tricky case, and I’m hardly in the 'amazing' category. With the police searching for him, convinced that he's a murderer, I’m racing against the clock to find him and help him before he's arrested – or worse. And given the way Officer James McKenzie has been behaving, I’m not sure there's anyone else on my brother's side. I’m not even certain which side that is. Because when it really comes down to it, Topher has been missing for six years. How well does anyone know him anymore – even me? Of course, none of this is going to stop me from trying to find him first. Hey, I may not be all that talented, but no one can say Charlie Davies isn't determined.
She’ll clear his name of murder – if she doesn’t kill him first. Checkout-chick turned amateur sleuth Charlie Davies at your service. My nemesis has been accused of offing his billionaire uncle for an inheritance, and as much as I’d love to see James McKenzie rot in prison, there are two problems. One: He definitely didn’t do it. (Probably.) Two: In exchange for proving his innocence, he’ll pay up big. And I simply can’t resist his… cash. I have to find the killer somehow, because the reward money isn’t the only thing on the line. If I don’t catch the murderer before they catch me – I might just lose my head. Caution: Contains swearing, occasional inappropriate jokes and men with seriously hot surfaces. You have been warned.
Charlie Davies is back – and so is Adam Baxter. Get emergency services on the line. Adam’s home to pack up his stuff before his move and I’m not happy to see him, to say the least. As a last goodbye, he suggests that we take on one final case together. Undercover. At a strip club. And no, unfortunately that’s not just a bad pick up line. While we’re hard at work, things get complicated. For the case, that is. Obviously. Because there’s nothing complicated between the two of us. Just two former friends, one of whom is about to leave the city forever. Provided I don’t murder him first.
I’m Charlie Davies, and this time I’m taking on the devil. When I discover the body of a priest seemingly sacrificed to Satan, the case seems pretty open and shut. After all, I saw a certain Satan-loving member of my knitting circle in the area around the time of the murder. But when I begin to delve deeper, it becomes apparent that there could be more to this case – and it might be connected to my friend Tim’s attempted murder. When things take a turn for the illegal, I can’t really ask my cop boyfriend James for help. Lucky Adam, my boss, is there to step in. Just with the case. Not anything else. Obviously.
Waking up is bad enough. But waking up next to a dead guy? It’s killer. Hi. I’m Charlie Davies, and I’ve got three problems. One: I’ve woken up next to my ex. Two: He’s dead. Three: I don’t remember how I got here. Or if I’m the one who killed him. With the help of my PI friend Tim - and my non-PI non-friend John - I need to piece together what exactly happened last night… And pray to Aphrodite that I don’t get arrested for murder.
