Anna Everly writes cozy mysteries for readers who'd rather be somewhere else—preferably somewhere with a garden gone wild and a secret buried under it.
Her June Rowan Restoration Mysteries follow June Rowan, a once-burnt-out journalist turned restoration correspondent for Provenance magazine, as she travels the world restoring beloved gardens and digging up what they've been hiding for decades. The series begins with the prequel novella, A Murder on the Jacaranda Coast, on Australia's Jacaranda Coast, and travels on to Oaxaca, Marrakech and Penang—closed-door slow-burn romance, amateur sleuth puzzles that play fair, found family, and towns you'll want to move to.
Anna sends a monthly postcard from behind the series to her readers, and writes from a sunny corner of Australia, where the jacarandas bloom in October and the garden keeps its own secrets.
