Candice Renoir

After a 10-year sabbatical in Singapore, Candice Renoir is back as a police commandant. But as she deals with divorce proceedings, four children, and skeptical colleagues, her first murder case isn't an easy task.

As Candice's kids struggle to adjust, she is called to the scene when a man is found dead lying next to his barbecue.

Problems with Candice's teenager help her crack the case of a boy thrown into the harbor.

Candice debates whether to go to bed with her handsome neighbor, but she's distracted when a badly damaged body is found in a dump.

One night Candice is called to an emergency at a local hotel after a wheelchair-bound man is thrown down a flight of stairs. It turns out the man had leukemia and had been tended to by the hotel staff, but lately his condition had worsened. Was it attempted murder, or suicide? Candice feels exhausted from the demands of work and motherhood when someone appears out of the blue to make it all worse.

The kids are happy to have their father back home, but Candice is far from thrilled. Meanwhile, a woman in her 40s is found dead in her car. Candice notes the scent of a plant-based poison and learns the woman was an aficionada of natural medicines.
