STOP THE PRESSES … Andrea has signed a 5-book deal with Next Chapter Publishing. The Godfather of Dance and A Killer Among Friends have been re-released, The Man in the Dam is soon to follow, and two more Jade Riley Mysteries are in the pipeline.
The Jade Riley Mysteries are award-winning books by Andrea Barton. Jade is an everyday hero, a rookie journalist with more ambition than experience, more passion than finesse. She’s from Melbourne Australia, but her travels take her far from home.

Book One, The Godfather of Dance, is set in Houston, Texas.
Murder. Dance. Family secrets.
The unsolved murder of a ballroom dancer sets rookie journalist Jade Riley on a hunt for the killer.

Book 2, A Killer Among Friends, is set in Melbourne, Australia.
Murder. Music. Company secrets.
When Jade’s friend Nick is murdered, she turns to their tight-knit circle for answers, only to uncover a web of lies.

Book 3, The Man in the Dam, is set in Mansfield, Victoria, Australia.
Murder. Theatre. Community secrets.
Journalist Jade Riley finds a guest dead in a dam the morning after hosting a dinner party in Mansfield, gateway to the Victorian High Country.
Note the first three books form a musical triple threat, with dance in book 1, music in book 2 and acting in book 3.
Coming soon…
Book 4, The Runaway Girl, is set in Lagos, Nigeria.
Journalist Jade Riley’s search for three missing girls puts her family at risk.
