Bella Greaves edits Katoomba's local newspaper. She knows everyone, misses nothing, and is — if she's honest — just a little bored.
Then a disgraced Sydney detective arrives in town. Paul Ruel was exiled to the Mountains to fade quietly from view. His bosses expected him to quit. Instead, he starts pulling at a thread in an old case — a woman in prison for a murder she says she didn't commit — and the thread leads somewhere people in Katoomba don’t want him to go.
Paul starts dating Bella’s daughter Siobhan. Then he turns to Bella for professional help. She should have known better …
Set against the fog and cold of a Blue Mountains winter, The Problem with Murder is a crime novel about two people who are better together than they have any right to be.
