Summer in Sofia

Jane Golden

The gripping tale of an American diplomat’s wife as she relies on her amateur sleuthing skills to dive headfirst into the deep end of an international murder mystery.

An American ex-pat, Jeni, is on another adventure as she crisscrosses Bulgaria from its beautiful Black Sea to the lesser-known gems in a topography full of precious jewels.

Soon after she and her diplomat husband, Zach, are temporarily assigned to the embassy in Sofia, Jeni receives word that her cousin, Andy, is on his way from the States to visit her. Plagued by dread due to their frosty relationship, she attempts to mentally prepare for his arrival. In the meantime, Jeni, joins an international women’s charity where she immediately becomes embroiled in a fascinating mystery when it is discovered the treasurer is missing and she is the only one with access to the organization’s funds. As Jeni explores Bulgaria with reckless abandon in search of clues, she must once again navigate the State Department’s rules that govern a diplomatic spouse.

Adriatic Allure

Jane Golden

Clarion Review calls this latest book “a captivating mystery!” It has been a little over a year since Jeni abandoned her career as an attorney outside New Orleans to accompany her husband, Zach, to Romania. While he has been settling into his new role as a diplomat with the Department of Justice, she has been embracing all the excitement and fun of being a new American ex-pat in Europe. But all of that is about to change when her impulsive college-age niece, Candi, unexpectedly comes to stay with them. As soon as Candi arrives, the drama begins.
The situation, although awkward, is manageable—until Candi disappears shortly after a young woman is found dead in a neighboring park. Against her husband’s advice, Jeni dons her amateur sleuthing cap and boards a yacht in the Adriatic in the middle of Yacht Week to delve into the seemingly sinister disappearance while following sketchy clues. But as she races against time to hopefully find and safely extract Candi from a potentially dangerous situation, Jeni has no idea if her plan will end in mutiny or even worse, murder. Adriatic Allure shares the roily adventure of an American ex-pat turned sleuth as she sets out on a fast-paced search to find her niece after she is lured into the murky waters of international yachting.
