Isle of Man Ghostly Cozies

Fenella Woods is surprised and thrilled to learn that she's inherited a beautiful seaside apartment on the Isle of Man. Although she was born on the island, her family moved to the US when she was only two, and she's never even visited there before she sells everything she owns and takes up residence. Starting a new life at forty-eight isn't going to be easy, but she soon makes several new friends. Finding dead bodies wasn't in her plans, but then living with a ghost and a kitten weren't either.






Fenella Woods has only met a few people during the twenty-four hours she's been in Douglas, the capital city of the Isle of Man. She's shocked when she discovers one of them dead in an alley behind her apartment building.

Struggling to adapt to her new life in a foreign country seems easy compared to coping with finding herself in the middle of a murder investigation.

Nearly fifty and newly single, Fenella meets a handsome police inspector, a dashing new neighbor, and a sophisticated businessman, all of whom have her questioning her determination to remain unattached.

Having a ghost for a roommate and a kitten as an uninvited houseguest has her questioning her decision to start a new life on the small island in the Irish Sea after all.

Fenella Woods is excited to be taking the ferry across the Irish Sea to England so that she can begin her research. When she finds a dead body in her cabin, she has to change her plans.

The police seem convinced that the killer is one of the other passengers who had a cabin reserved for the journey.

Fenella meets a group of suspects that includes a wealthy couple, an older man and his much younger wife, and a retired and incredibly nosy woman.

Finding herself caught up in the middle of another murder investigation isn't pleasant for Fenella. This time Fenella is determined not to take any advice from her dead aunt who continues to occupy the luxury apartment that used to be her home. Her kitten, Katie, isn't much help either, as she seems determined to cause as much mischief as she possibly can.

While Fenella wants to help Inspector Robinson find the killer before he or she strikes again, she'd much prefer a quiet life in her new island home.

Fenella Woods is nervous but eager to start driving lessons on the Isle of Man. Having never driven a manual transmission before, she quickly finds herself struggling with having to change gears with her left hand while sitting on what feels like the wrong side of the car and driving on what seems to be the wrong side of the road.

Her friendship with CID Inspector Daniel Robinson is less stressful. He's going through some cold cases and he asks her to share her thoughts. Daniel seems to think that she'll have a different perspective on the investigations because she doesn't know any of the people involved. He's surprised to find that the first case he mentions, a missing person from thirty years earlier, involves Fenella's new driving instructor.

Fenella's aunt Mona, who is either a ghost or a figment of Fenella's imagination, has her own ideas about both the missing person and an unconnected thirty-year-old murder investigation that Daniel is also reopening. And of course, she's eager for Fenella to get involved in both cases.

Fenella isn't sure she's ready to try to deal with driving lessons, two cold cases, one nosy aunt, a kitten who needs surgery, and three different men who all appeal to her in very different ways. She knew her life was going to change when she moved to the Isle of Man, but she wasn't anticipating quite this much excitement.

When Fenella Woods decided to cut all of her ties in Buffalo, New York to move to the Isle of Man, she didn't even give pets a single thought. Not long after she'd settled in, however, she'd found herself with a kitten. Just back from a fortnight of research in London, the last thing she's expecting is that she's going to find herself looking after two dogs as well.

When Fenella and her good friend, Shelly Quirk, find a stray dog on Douglas Beach, Shelly quickly recognizes him and knows where he belongs. The problem is, his owner, Harvey, seems to have disappeared. Shelly's cat won't let Winston into Shelly's apartment, but Fenella's Katie is more welcoming.

When a second neighbor goes missing only a few days later, Fenella finds herself in the middle of two missing person cases, and looking after two dogs. When one of the missing men turns up dead and a third person goes missing, life begins to feel more dangerous for Fenella and Shelly.

Inspector Daniel Robinson is reluctantly on the sidelines as he's busy getting ready to go away for a two-month training course. Missing persons isn't really his area of expertise, either. Can Fenella and Shelly help work out what's going on before anyone else ends up dead?

When Fenella Woods inherited her spinster aunt's estate, she'd been surprised to learn that Mona had something of a racy past. Everyone she met seemed to have a story about Mona, and most of them seemed to involve wealthy and attractive men.

Even so, Fenella wasn't prepared for a total stranger to start yelling at her at a party, because of her relationship to Mona. Phillipa Clucas thinks that her recently deceased husband had an affair with Mona, something that Mona, (who is still hanging around Fenella's apartment, not quite ready to move on to the afterlife) denies.

An unexplained series of accidents among other women who may or may not have been involved with Phillipa's husband has Fenella worried. CID Inspector Mark Hammersmith, who is covering for Fenella's friend Daniel while he's away, doesn't seem to share her concerns.

Can she persuade Mark that the series of accidents are really murders? Can she convince him that she isn't the common link between the cases? And can she work out what's really happening to the women who used to be Mona's friends without Daniel's help?

Since she's been on the Isle of Man, Fenella Woods has had the chance to make many new friends. Her closest island friend is her next-door neighbor, Shelly. When a man appears on Shelly's doorstep claiming to have been a childhood friend of Shelly's recently deceased husband, Fenella is quick to try to help Shelly deal with the surprise.

As Shelly tries to work out whether she wants to talk to the man or not, Fenella meets, and dislikes, several of the man's friends who are visiting the island. But when Shelly finally agrees to meet the man, they find out that he had at least one enemy as well.

Police Inspector Mark Hammersmith isn't happy when Fenella finds yet another dead body, even though she barely knew the dead man. Inspector Daniel Robinson, Fenella's friend, is still off the island, though. Fenella has to deal with Mark, whether she likes it or not.

As they learn more about the man and his friends, Shelly and Fenella find themselves caught up in yet another murder investigation. Can they help Mark find the killer before he or she strikes again?

Fenella Woods is less than excited when her brother James announces that he's coming to visit her.

She's starting to feel truly settled in her new home on the Isle of Man, but James made it clear when she inherited their Aunt Mona's fortune that he didn't think it was fair. She can only hope that he's just coming for a visit and not for a fight about the estate.

When he arrives with a girlfriend Fenella knew nothing about in tow, she's even less excited about the three-week visit. But James's girlfriend, Stephanie, grew up on the island and she has her own reasons for wanting to be there.

When Stephanie turns up dead, is it just an unfortunate accident or was someone unhappy to see the woman back on the island? Police Inspector Mark Hammersmith is on the case, and he's quick to consider James as a suspect.

When James recounts a story from Stephanie's past that sounds impossible, Mark seems inclined to discount it as fiction. When someone tries to kill James, though, Fenella is convinced that it's true.

Can she persuade Mark to see things her way? And can she keep her big brother safe from a killer who might just try again?

It's Hop-tu-Naa time on the Isle of Man and Fenella Woods is excited to learn more about this uniquely Manx celebration.

When a day of fun at Cregneash village ends with Fenella finding a dead body, though, she finds herself tangled up in another murder investigation.

As the inspector in charge of the case calls on Daniel Robinson to help with the investigation, Fenella finds an uncomfortable distance has grown between herself and handsome Inspector Robinson. The distance is only reinforced by the ubiquitous presence of Tiffany Perkins, a pretty young police inspector who'd been on the same course as Daniel.

No one seems to have had a motive for killing young Phillip Pierce. He'd only been on the island for a short while. He was newly married and his beautiful widow seems suitably devastated.

Can Fenella work out why the man was killed? Will Daniel seek her help with this investigation or is he determined to keep her at arm's length? And if he is keeping his distance, is Tiffany the reason or is there something else going on?

Fenella Woods is pleased when police inspector Daniel Robinson asks for her help with another cold case. It isn't the first time he's asked her to share her thoughts on an old case, but things have been difficult between the pair since Daniel returned from a lengthy course in the UK.

Ronald Sherman disappeared nearly seven years ago. It seems everyone who knew the man has a different idea as to why. Fenella and her friend, Shelly Quirk, find themselves talking to a number of different people about the missing man.

As if helping Daniel isn't enough to keep Fenella busy, she's planning a banquet for her first Thanksgiving on the island. Sending invitations and sharing recipes with the chef at the restaurant she's chosen seems to take up a lot of her time.

Can Fenella and Shelly work out what actually happened to Ronald? Is Daniel hoping to rekindle his romance with Fenella over witness statements? Will Fenella's Thanksgiving feast be a success or is it a disaster waiting to happen?

Fenella Woods is excited to be celebrating her first Christmas on the Isle of Man. She's less enthusiastic that her former boyfriend, Jack, is coming for a long visit. While they split up months ago, before Fenella relocated to the island, Jack seems to be having trouble accepting that the relationship is over.

Jack managed to get himself an invitation to stay with Dr. Peter Grady, a university professor who has a second home on the island. Dr. Grady isn't home when he and Fenella arrive, but a string of beautiful women looking for the man turn up almost immediately. When one of the women discovers Dr. Grady's body in the master bedroom, Fenella finds herself in the middle of another murder investigation.

Letting Jack stay in her house on Poppy Drive is necessary, but that puts him right across the road from CID Inspector Daniel Robinson's house. Daniel and Fenella are still trying to work out where their personal relationship is going. Now he's investigating a murder where Jack could be considered a suspect and might be the killer's next target.

Can Fenella help Daniel solve the case and keep Jack safe? Can she incorporate American traditions into her first Manx Christmas? And what do you get a ghost for Christmas?

Police inspector Daniel Robinson wants help with another cold case, and Fenella Woods is always happy to assist. This time, its a fifty-year-old murder case that has captured Daniel's attention.

With witnesses and suspects well into their seventies, working out what happened to Mabel Gross all those years ago is going to be a real challenge. When Winston, the neighbor's dog, starts barking at a storage shed on the promenade, Fenella can't help but fear that he's uncovered a more modern murder mystery. Instead, she finds herself looking after an injured mother cat and a foursome of extremely active kittens.

Things are still somewhat awkward between Fenella and Daniel, but helping him with the case seems a good way to work toward a new beginning. Between looking after kittens and taking a class in reading old records, Fenella doesn't have much time for investigating the murder.

Can Fenella help Daniel solve such an old case? It feels as if nearly everyone is keeping secrets. How can she persuade Mabel's family and friends that now is the time to reveal all? And can she find good homes for the kittens and their mother before their antics drive her crazy?

Along with everything that she left to her, Fenella's Aunt Mona left instructions for her own birthday party. Doncan Quayle, Fenella's advocate, is in charge of arranging the party, following Mona's detailed plans. He gets a little sidetracked, however, when a woman turns up on the island claiming to be Maxwell Martin's daughter.

Max had been Mona's benefactor for most of her life. He'd showered Mona with gifts, and now Rosemary Ballard is demanding a share of Mona's estate. She claims to have letters that prove that Mona had blackmailed Max for years. When Rosemary turns up dead, Fenella is the number-one suspect.

Inspector Daniel Robinson has to keep Fenella at arm's length, no matter how he feels about her. As Rosemary's family threaten to continue with the planned lawsuit, Fenella finds herself trying to prove her innocence in the murder investigation, and to find evidence that Rosemary was lying about her parentage.

Mona, Fenella's ghostly roommate in her luxury apartment, is insistent that the letters are fake. As she reveals more to Fenella about her relationship with Max, Fenella works to find a way to protect her fortune and find a killer.

Is it possible that Mona badly misjudged Max? Who else besides Fenella had a motive for wanting Rosemary dead? Mona is sure that Max's sister is behind the whole thing, but proving that might be an impossible task. As Mona's birthday party gets closer, Fenella begins to wonder if there is actually going to be anything to celebrate.

Fenella Woods has been living on the Isle of Man for a year, and it now seems as if every charity there feels it's appropriate to start soliciting her. Most of the letters get turned over to Fenella's advocate to deal with, but one request catches Fenella's eye.

Darrell Higgins wants her help monitoring the wild wallaby population in the Curraghs wetlands area of the island. When she agrees to spend an hour in the wetlands one morning, the man in her life, Daniel Robinson, offers to join her. After a boring hour in the cold and rain, they both can't wait to get indoors, but on the walk back to Daniel's car, they find Darrell under a bush, dead.

There isn't any shortage of suspects, from volunteers with the charity to business colleagues of the dead man, not to mention a quartet of ex-wives and one current girlfriend, but motive is harder to determine. Can Daniel and Fenella work out who killed the island's main marsupial supporter before the killer chooses another victim?

Fenella Woods has been having nightmares for the past two weeks. She and Daniel Robinson, her police inspector boyfriend, have been getting along really well, even starting to plan a vacation together. That was before he announced that the woman he'd met while taking classes in Milton Keynes was coming to visit the Isle of Man.

Daniel and Nancy Weston had become friends while they were in Milton Keynes, but according to Daniel, they'd agreed not to pursue a relationship, as neither was prepared to move in order for them to be together. That's not the way Nancy tells the story, though. When she and her friends arrive on the island, she announces that she's given up her job and is ready to make big changes in her life, changes that seem to include Daniel.

When Nancy turns up dead on the beach where she and her friends are staying, Daniel and Fenella are both suspects. Inspector Mark Hammersmith is in charge and Daniel finds himself suspended from his duties while the case is under investigation.

Can Fenella and Daniel work out what happened to Nancy? Her friends seem to be the most likely suspects, but they're a tight-knit group who don't want to confide in anyone. It becomes increasingly clear that the group has a number of secrets, but surely they wouldn't work together to cover a murder, would they?

Fenella Woods isn't certain that following a traveling orchestra around England with police inspector Daniel Robinson is the sort of romantic vacation for which she was hoping. The tour is being led by one of Daniel's former teachers, and apparently he couldn't say no when she asked him to come along.

The tour doesn't turn out to be quite what either of them were expecting, but they're making the best of it, until they stumble across a dead body. There is no shortage of suspects as the police begin to investigate the entire orchestra as well as the tour group following it.

Will the local police inspector be interested in help from Daniel and Fenella? Can they work together to narrow down the list of suspects? With everyone from the orchestra and the tour stuck in Chester, can their vacation get any worse? If the police can find the killer, can Fenella talk Daniel into giving up on the orchestra tour and doing something, anything, else?

Fenella Woods is happy to look at apartments with her boyfriend, police inspector Daniel Robinson. He wants to move closer to Fenella and central Douglas, and she's delighted. While they're visiting an apartment, however, someone unearths a box labeled "poison" behind an unused wine cellar in the building next door.

Daniel is quick to offer to investigate while Fenella keeps apartment hunting. When she finds the perfect apartment, though, it's just a little bit outside the inspector's budget. Before Fenella can try to persuade him to let her help buy the place, however, a skeleton is discovered in the same unused space and Daniel is back on duty.

Before long, the police have a list of men who went missing around the time they believe the body was hidden. Now they simply have to search for the men and try to work out how the body ended up under what had once been a luxury hotel.

Can Fenella help Daniel work out which missing man has been found? Can they discover how the man died and who hid the body? And can they find an apartment that Daniel can afford, or will Fenella persuade the man to let her help him buy the perfect, if slightly too expensive, apartment just a few doors away from her building?

And can they find an apartment that Daniel can afford, or will Fenella persuade the man to let her help him buy the perfect, if slightly too expensive, apartment just a few doors away from her building?



Fenella has been living on the Isle of Man for a year and a half. She reckons it's high time she took a good look at all of the properties that she inherited from her Aunt Mona. After a long day spent driving all over the island, she and her lawyer end their day in the far north of the island. Among other things, Mona owned a building there that had once been used as a candle-manufacturing plant.

After everything that has happened to Fenella since she's been on the island, she shouldn't be as surprised as she is to find a skeleton locked in an office inside the building. What's even more surprising is Mona's refusal to discuss anything to do with the building or the company that had once used it.

Can Fenella work out what Mona is hiding? Can she discover what actually happened in Bride over twelve years earlier? Will doing those things mean revealing Maxwell Martin's big secret to the world?

When Fenella Woods moved to the Isle of Man, one of the things she left behind in Buffalo was her former boyfriend, Jack Dawson. Now Jack is getting married, and he's invited Fenella to help celebrate his special day. Fenella and the new man in her life, CID inspector Daniel Robinson, decide to make a two-week vacation out of the trip to Buffalo, New York.

Things start to go wrong almost immediately, as the bride's ex-husband crashes Jack and Linda's engagement party. When the man is discovered dead in a dumpster outside the hotel where Fenella and Daniel are staying, the pair find themselves caught up in yet another murder investigation.

Can Daniel and Fenella work out who, besides the bride and groom, wanted George Hawkins dead? Can they go sightseeing without bumping into any of the suspects? Can Fenella get through the entire wedding weekend without telling Jack's mother exactly what she thinks of her? And can she and Daniel solve the murder in time for Jack and Linda to go on their honeymoon?

After finding a skeleton while visiting the properties that she'd inherited from her aunt, Mona Kelly, Fenella Woods is only a bit worried about what she might find when she visits the safe deposit boxes that Mona had in banks around the Isle of Man. Having said that, she's still shocked when she walks into one of the banks just as a body is found in one of the vaults.

Nigel Corlett was the bank's manager, but no one can explain how he'd ended up dead inside a time-locked vault. There is no shortage of suspects, as it becomes clear that Nigel was involved with many different women, some of whom seem to have been a bit obsessed with the handsome man.

Can Fenella help the police work out how Nigel got into the vault after hours? Can they work out exactly how many women he was actually seeing? And can Fenella persuade the owners of the Seaview in Ramsey to let her best friend, Shelly, have her wedding reception there when they're supposed to be closed for the season?

When Fenella learns that her friend, Breesha, is going to be in a play, she reserves a box at the theater for herself and her friends. The show turns out to be a complicated mess, but even worse is the body surrounded by blood in the next box. Fenella is relieved to learn that the body is just a mannequin, but things take a more dramatic turn the next day at a different theater as a man falls to his death just before the curtain is meant to go up.

Threatening letters, a reclusive playwright, and quite possibly the worst play ever written combine to complicate Fenella's life.

Can she help her boyfriend, CID Inspector Daniel Robinson, work out who is behind the anonymous letters? Can they find the person responsible for the deadly accident? And is there any way that Three Gentlewomen from Bologna will ever make any sense at all?

All Fenella Woods wants is to have a nice lunch with her fiancé, Police Inspector Daniel Robinson. When the café's owner manages to start a fire, though, things get complicated very quickly. As if the fire isn't enough for Daniel to investigate, a local undertaker wants to make a deathbed confession.

Alfred Beck claims that while he was arranging for Kent Thomas's funeral, he overheard Kent's wife talking about how she'd managed to murder him. Kent's been dead and buried for over ten years, his death attributed to a heart attack. Of course, Tammy Thomas denies having done any such thing, but the police still exhume the body. When it turns out that Kent was poisoned, Daniel finds himself in the middle of another murder investigation.

Can Fenella help Daniel work out who killed Kent Thomas? Can she discover the truth about Karl Carlson, the man behind the café fire? And can she go anywhere on the island without bumping into someone involved in one case or the other?

Fenella Woods has been living on the Isle of Man for nearly two years and she's delighted that her nieces, Margaret and Megan, are finally coming to the island for a visit. Unfortunately, they haven't been on the island long before they stumble across a dead body.

Zack Jacobs was handsome and charming, and he'd done his best to impress Megan over a few drinks. It isn't until after his death that she finds out a few uncomfortable truths about the man. Police Inspector Ted Hart is put in charge of the case and Fenella knows that Megan and Margaret are on his short list of possible suspects.

Can Fenella and her fiancé, Police Inspector Daniel Robinson, work out what actually happened to Zack even though it isn't officially Daniel's case to investigate? Can Fenella convince her nieces that the island is a wonderful and safe place to live in spite of the murder? And is Ted actually interested in Margaret?

Shelly's Aunt Elaine is visiting, and the three women have plans to spend the final days before the wedding at the Seaview Hotel, enjoying spa treatments and room service. No one is expecting to find a dead body in what's meant to be an empty room.

Rebecca Drury had stayed at the hotel with five of her friends in November, celebrating her divorce. They all left together just before the hotel shut for the season, but it seems as if Rebecca didn't go far.

Can Fenella and her friends help the police work out how Rebecca managed to stay in what was supposed to be a closed hotel? Can they discover who killed Rebecca? And will Shelly and Tim get the wedding of their dreams or will the murder investigation get in the way of their happily ever after?

Margaret Woods, Fenella's niece, is back on the island, and she's planning to stay this time. A late-night stroll on the promenade that leaves Fenella with a broken arm isn't a great start to Margaret's new beginning, though. When Fenella's doctor, Rachel, asks for help in locating her missing boyfriend, Ben, Fenella tells her to call the police. Fenella's neighbor's aunt, Elaine, is more willing to help out, though. Elaine insists on accompanying Rachel to the missing man's apartment to see if he may be simply avoiding Rachel.

No one is expecting to find a dead man on Ben's kitchen floor. Rachel is relieved that the body isn't Ben's, but that just raises a lot of questions for the police to try to answer.

Can Fenella and her friends help the police find Ben? Can they work out the identity of the dead man and find out why he was in Ben's apartment? And is it possible that Heather Bryant, the new reporter for the Isle of Man Times, is even more annoying than Dan Ross?

Fenella Woods and her niece, Margaret, are surprised to find visitors waiting for them at their luxury apartment building when they return home from a walk. Thornton DeVries had been friends with Fenella's aunt, Mona, and was unaware that she'd passed away. He's just arrived on the island on a luxury yacht, accompanied by family and friends. They have a short conversation and agree to have dinner together the following evening.

Later that night, though, Fenella and Margaret stumble across a dead body. One of Thornton's traveling companions has been murdered and everyone on board his luxury yacht is a suspect. Meanwhile, Margaret is trying to find a job, and Fenella and her fiancé, Daniel, are talking seriously about setting a wedding date.

Margaret is determined to work out what happened to poor Delia Reid. With help from Mona's ghost, who keeps interfering in the investigation, she and Fenella find themselves learning all about Thornton, his former wife, and their associates. But is that knowledge enough to help them determine who killed Delia before someone else ends up dead?

Fenella Woods is busy planning her wedding and trying to help her niece, Margaret, get settled on the island. Fenella and her fiancé, Daniel, are planning on taking a long honeymoon, and Fenella wants to help Margaret find a nice place to live while she and Daniel are gone. A trip to one of Fenella's cottages in the north of the island reveals that someone used the land around the cottage for a party, leaving behind a huge mess.

While clearing away the mess, Fenella finds a dead woman inside a half-collapsed tent left over from the party. With the police involved, Fenella starts to worry about whether her wedding can take place as planned or not. Margaret is keen to do some investigating of her own, but Fenella really wants to focus on the wedding.

Can Fenella get the wedding of her dreams if Mattie Matthews's killer is still at large? With Mona focused on the murder investigation, will Mona's magical wardrobe conjure up the perfect wedding gown for Fenella or not? And what part did the ruby and sapphire necklace the victim was wearing play in her murder?
