If you pick up any one of the books in the Rainy Day series
you will be reading a complete story that begins and ends between the covers of
that particular book. You do not need to read volumes 1-3 to make sense of
volume 4. If you only ever read volume 2 you will never know you missed
anything.
There are no cliff-hanger endings in this series.
If you read more than one volume you will get a pleasant surprise to see the
link in the series developing. If you read all 6 books in the series you may find
a bonus plot strand that was buried, figuratively and literally.

G'day
Have you ever been to Australia? This is a huge island continent but living here still has an island feel about it because we're sort of isolated from the US and Europe. We're in a different hemisphere, which means the opposite seasons, and with time differences it's generally night here when it's day-time over there.
As for culture we're probably not much different. We're modern, western, multicultural. There's a lot of European influence here from migration back in the 50's and 60's and onward. There's a lot of Asian influence from more recent migration. Of course, we're still a bit British from 200+ years of settlement and we have a great aboriginal culture that dates back thousands of years beyond that. And we have weird animals.
My mystery/romance books are set here in Australia. I've travelled and worked all over this island and am drawing on that experience for settings. We have massive deserts, tropical rain forests, grasslands rolling with the curvature of the earth, beaches north, south, east and west, and we have snowy mountains in the south. We have huge cosmopolitan cities and one pub, outback towns. Usually there's a pub.
There are links over the right side there to preview the 6 books in this series.
