Introducing the new covers for the first three books of author Helen Goltz’s Jesse Clarke Mystery Series.
Death by Sugar
From author Helen Goltz comes a contemporary mystery series featuring sassy Jesse Clarke, her handsome boyfriend Dominic, business partner Ed, best friend Melanie, and beloved dog, Atlas. Crime has never been this fun.
For a private investigator, Jesse Clarke makes a great publicist! Jesse, with her business partner, Ed, runs a hot-shot publicity business publicizing everything from water-saving campaigns to art house films. But with a recently-attained qualification in private investigation, Jesse is trying to find her feet in her new field, as well as what her clients pay her to find.
Jesse always thought sugar was such a friendly substance, until it shows up in her two new cases for all the wrong reasons. When a black Mercedes blows up in front of the cafe where Jesse and her personal trainer, boyfriend, Dominic, are enjoying a cappuccino, the Mercedes owner, Renzo Leonardo, becomes her client. She has her work cut out trying to sort out who are Renzo’s friends and enemies.
Jesse makes an ally in the police service, Officer Jason Abingdon, who has more than a professional interest in Jesse—he brings her a new case; the suspicion that his father killed his mother over thirty years ago by weakening her immune system with a sugar-based experiment.*
Juggling the two cases, Jesse is talking to the living and the dead to get answers.
*(based on a true experiment)
Death by Disguise

Supported by her own man of steel Dominic, business partner Ed, police contact Officer Jason who has more than a professional interest in Jesse, and best friend Melanie, Jesse finds herself talking to witches, superheroes and morticians to solve her two cases and looking behind the disguises for answers. Jesse Clarke is back! Also in the series: ‘Death by Sugar’.
