1. A Meditation On Murder
A former Buddhist nun turned professional butler is hired to manage an exclusive mindfulness retreat, only for a guest’s death to shatter the curated calm. Navigating prickly egos, wellness-world rivalries, and a maze of secrets and lies, she uses serene observation and meticulous logistics to sift through alibis and motives, exposing the darker impulses behind self-improvement—and discovering how power and profit can warp even the purest intentions.

2. Mindful Of Murder
A hyper-competent, mindfulness-trained butler is summoned to a remote West Coast retreat center to carry out the eccentric founder’s last instructions: host a weeklong retreat for a quirky roster of potential heirs and let compassion, attention, and protocol decide who inherits. When sabotage and a suspicious death unsettle the gathering, the unflappable host uses Buddhist principles, exacting household management, and quiet observation to peel back rivalries and secrets. Wry, warm, and gently satirical of wellness culture, this cozy mystery explores integrity, grief, and the families we make.
