What are the Bondi short mysteries?

Twelve standalone short mysteries, each set in 1947 Bondi. The same world as The Wagging Tail series — same streets, same salt air — but different cases, different narrators, different corners of a community that is always hiding something.

Think of them as twelve postcards from Bondi, each with a small mystery tucked inside. Perfect for a lunch break or a morning commute.
