Signed on the Bottom: murder and mayhem in southern New Zealand

Jane, a disillusioned art teacher who has been dumped by her obnoxious partner now lives at a private girls' boarding school near Queenstown, New Zealand. Her life is made brighter by the reappearance of an old art school friend who she had modelled for in their final painting examination. Through Justin she is introduced to the world of the unconventional and wealthy Mark.



Jane's life really changes though when her eccentric aunt Claudia decides she wants to die in her home on a remote southern island rather than end her days in a rest home on the mainland. Jane agrees to accompany her aunt and their arrival proves to be dangerously inconvenient to people who have their own reason for wanting Claudia's house empty.



Signed on the bottom is a humorous romantic mystery with dark undertones. Jane finds herself juggling three hot men and environmental issues while dealing with her own doubts and fears. This is a stand alone novel.
