When Big Wig moves to the beach, Big Trouble comes with him.

Doubtless Bay’s resident private investigator has a dilemma on her hands. With the arrival of a new detective in her small, beachside town, Summer O’Dare has a decision to make: Let him think she’s merely a little kooky or open up the doors to her skeleton-harbouring closet and invite him in.

Trust, though, has to be earned. And Detective Douche is walking on the wrong side of that equation. Three days in and he’s already dating the realtor next door; Summer’s high school nemesis.

Add in a missing biker, a murdered man, stolen intellectual property, and the surfer staying in her spare bedroom, and Summer’s summer looks like it might heat up to scorching.

Just as well she’s got a few tricks up her sleeve. And a penchant for donuts. But will the detective welcome them? The tricks, not the donuts. Or will he think Summer strange like everyone else does?

A fast-paced cozy mystery set in Northland, New Zealand from Amazon Bestselling Author Nicola Claire.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! The best book I've read this summer
    Reviewed in Australia on 9 January 2019
    I love Nicola's books and this is no exception. Set in a beautiful NZ town, this novel has great characters, great suspense and more than a dash of cheeky humour. It's really worth a read, and if you haven't read Nicola's other books, well, you're in for a treat!!

    I don't know why it took me so long to read Chasing Summer but it was worth the wait. Once I started it , I couldn't out it down. Waiting to see how PI Summer O'Date would solve a case with her kooky senses. And wondering will happen with Detective Douche.

    I absolutely loved this story. Summer O Dare a private investigator, witty and smart remarks, made her unstoppable. Several times I found myself trying to help her solve the mystery and my husband actually laughed at me a few times. I had no idea I was talking out loud..lol. Great book.

I kept wanting to read more and more to learn the answers. I loved Summer's quirky personality, her kindheartedness, intelligence, even her unexplained abilities. I finished ready this one in record time!

    This book really good if you like cozy mysteries that are kicked up a notch- it has a REAL complex mystery with a lead character who actually acts like a private investigator and looks for clues. It has a touch of paranormal and a touch of romance that fits so well into the story. Every character encountered adds spice to the plot- so well written! I will read the next one.
