The Sunshine Murders

Greek Detective Helen Moustakas is struggling with her job, her teenager and her ex-husband when a New Zealand woman (Shirley Rangi) shows up, claiming to be her half-sister. Although adamant Shirley is unhinged, Helen accidentally brings her to a crime scene involving the mysterious death of an Archaeologist, where Shirley proceeds to inadvertently help with clues. After twisting her ankle, Helen has no choice but to agree to Shirley driving her to interview the suspects at a beautiful hotel, and later to her daughter Thalia’s school – which Shirley offers to do on the basis that Helen agrees to have a DNA test. That night, Helen is attacked outside her home, but fortunately is rescued by Shirley. Who was the attacker?

Greek Detective Helen Moustakas is shocked to discover that a DNA test proves that the Kiwi Farmer, Shirley Rangi, is her half-sister. Now she must navigate her fiery mother Alexa and the memory of her long missing father alongside solving the suspicious death of a visiting Archaeologist. Helen and Shirley soon begin to root out the culprit, leading Helen to a vital clue. A discovery, which only goes to put Helen further in danger. Can Shirley help save the day again?

Alexa and Thalia Moustakas, the mother and daughter of Greek Detective Helen Moustakas, are extremely excited that their favourite TV chef duo are bringing their show to Greece. Nevertheless, behind the scenes not all is what it seems. And when one of the female chefs dies suddenly, Helen is called in to investigate, only to discover that the deceased was disliked by many. With so many motives, can Helen find the killer?

Thalia is excited to spot the remaining TV chef and her producer in a restaurant with her mother, the Greek Detective Helen Moustakas, and her aunt, the Kiwi farmer Shirley Rangi. With teenage enthusiasm, Thalia approaches the star to introduce herself despite Helen’s strong reservations. Baffled by the cause of death of the other TV chef and scuppered on a strong lead, Helen re-examines the evidence and with the help of Shirley, discovers what she believes is the murder weapon. With a strong assumption who the killer is, Helen is horrified to find out that Thalia is with them in a car, driving out of town. Helen and Shirley give chase to confront the murderer and save Thalia.

Greek Detective Helen Moustakas is relegated to a filing job by her overbearing boss, Captain Spiteri. In doing so, she discovers that her missing father had been implicated in a robbery, which her mother, Alexa, refuses to believe. In the meantime, a young man comes to his parent’s homeland of Aegina to scatter their ashes and confront a demon from his past. Shortly after, a local taverna owner is found dead under suspicious circumstances. Helen goes with Shirley Rangi (her Kiwi farmer half-sister,) to investigate on the island. On arrival, Shirley bonds with the widow of the deceased, and Helen makes a quick arrest.

Despite strong evidence, Greek Detective Helen Moustakas is unable to charge the young man she has arrested on suspicion of murdering an island taverna owner, due to a lack of evidence. After working with her colleague, the pathologist George, and with the unrequested input from her Kiwi farmer half-sister Shirley, she decides to return to the island to question the deceased’s widow. What follows is a false confession, a wrongly accused suspect and a murderer on the run. Will Helen and Shirley catch them before they escape the island?

On a Greek island, a wealthy, titled English widow returns to her holiday house with her Butler and Housekeeper for the summer, to paint her latest muse, the local island heart-throb. Little does she know that her Butler is stealing from her and her Housekeeper is having a dalliance with her muse. Meanwhile, Greek Detective Helen Moustakas and her Kiwi Farmer half-sister Shirley Rangi, uncover more information about their missing father and his disappearance. On discovery of Shirley’s imminent birthday, Helen’s daughter Thalia insists that the three of them have a weekend away together to celebrate. Helen relents and agrees to an enjoyable mini break. At the widow’s holiday home meanwhile, a dinner party is underway. Unbeknownst to the raucous guests, the widow’s muse is dying in the outhouse…

Greek Detective Helen Moustakas, her daughter Thalia and her Kiwi farmer half-sister Shirley Rangi have arrived on an island for their fun mini break. The holiday does not last long. They trio run into Helen’s colleague George, there to examine the body of the local heart-throb found dead in a rich widow’s holiday home. Much to the chagrin of Thalia, Helen cannot resist George’s entreaties of help and agrees to go to the crime scene. Shirley tries to make the best of it, enjoying the elegant pool and playing rugby with Thalia, whilst Helen interviews the suspects. As per usual, Shirley makes new friends, but this time unfortunately offends one of them, nearly leading to her own untimely demise. Will Helen find the killer in time? More importantly, will she save Shirley?

Kiwi farmer, Shirley Rangi discovers an enormous clue to where she and sister Detective Helen Moustakas’ father might be. When she informs Helen of the information and announces that she will go to Cyprus to find him, Helen likens it to looking for a needle in a haystack. Luckily, Helen and Shirley’s colleague George is also going to Cyprus for a wedding, so this gives Shirley the confidence to go it alone. In Cyprus, at a luxury hotel, a sharp shooting sports promoter is introducing her new cricket star to her long-standing, wheel-chair-bound, veteran cricketing legend. It is a delicate balance of egos. The young cricket star is excited about his prospects and flattered by the attentions of an attractive local girl, one that is watched closely by George’s cousin, the DJ. After the young man’s one night stand with the attractive girl goes awry, George’s cousin argues in jealousy with the girl and the following day culminates with both cricketers looking over a high cliff, horrified to see the body of their sports promoter at the bottom. Shortly afterwards, George’s cousin is arrested on suspicion of murder.

Greek Detective Helen Moustakas rushes to Cyprus to help George’s cousin. By the time she gets there, Shirley (her Kiwi farmer half-sister,) already has fresh information after meeting the legendary cricketer, and connecting with him over bowling techniques. Together, the two sisters piece together the crime by uncovering secrets, lies and blackmail. All the while in tandem trying to find any clues as to where their missing father might be. Eventually Shirley’s friendship with a Cypriot electrician leads them to a house that is owned by a person baring their father’s name…
