y separately published work icon Who Killed Dave? Geeveston : Together Press , 2009 Z1777760 2009 single work novel crime

'Dave died in mysterious and grotesque circumstances and the murder has caught the imagination of a nation. There’s a television poll running and 46% of voters believe Robyn is guilty.

'Maybe she did, maybe she didn’t, she wasn’t in any state to remember.

'But hey, if you’re pointing fingers then Kaos Court is full of people crazy enough to commit the crime. This part time masseuse, part time tarot card reader is going to need all her skills to find out who killed Dave, because it’s the only thing standing between her and Detective Mark Hood, a man she could never marry, not when your first name is Robyn. Right?

'A whacky whodunit comedy that cartwheels from one chaotic moment to the next.' (Publication summary)
