A small-town mystery full of juicy secrets, quirky characters, and a splash of murder.

Entrepreneur and city girl, Marley Bloom, wants nothing more than to prove to her fiancé that there are better ways to start a business than closing your eyes, pointing to the nearest get rich quick scheme, and hoping for the best.

A friendly bet gone wrong leaves Marley on her way to Hazard Valley, population 113, with a brand new juice truck and the clothes on her back. Unfortunately, the citizens of Hazard Valley aren’t interested in her or the juice truck she rode in on.

Doing her best to settle in, a change in the town’s management lands Marley in a tight spot. Things escalate when a murder threatens the safety of everyone in the tiny town. She quickly learns about strength and coming together as a community, and Marley is more determined than ever to get to the bottom of all the juicy secrets floating around that everyone would prefer to be swept under the nearest welcome mat.

Can Marley make a big enough splash to keep the tiny town from crumbling, or are she and Hazard Valley both destined for failure?

Stop the presses! Rocco’s digging up the evidence.
Badda bing! Organized crime? In Williamsport?
Zora Flynn, a 50-something local newspaper publisher, and Rocco, her pampered prince of a poodle, are faced with a mini-crime wave. Not one but two victims have surfaced in the bustling cottage country town.
A secret underground casino, kickbacks and bribes, an explosion, and a business-savvy granny are the least of Zora’s worries. The clock is ticking. If the case isn’t solved quickly, she could be homeless by Christmas.
Rocco is keeping up his snarky commentary as the staff of the Williamsport Whistle track down the culprit. But he doesn’t hesitate when Zora is threatened. Can the pair of them escape the clutches of the murderer?
Poodle Versus The Mob is the highly entertaining second book in an ongoing series starring Zora and Rocco.
(It probably goes without saying, but the “Poodle Versus…” series is good, clean fun, except for the occasional suspicious death. No graphic violence, sex or swearing.)  (Amazon)

In this charming new cozy mystery series from nationally bestselling author, Vicki Delany, a New York City expat-turned-Cape Cod tea shop owner must solve the murder of a local real estate developer to help her feisty grandmother out of a jam . . .

As the proud proprietor and head pastry chef of Tea by the Sea, a traditional English tearoom on the picturesque bluffs of Cape Cod, Roberts has her hands full, often literally. But nothing keeps her busier than steering her sassy grandmother, Rose, away from trouble. Rose operates the grand old Victorian B & B adjacent to Lily’s tea shop . . . for now. An aggressive real estate developer, Jack Ford, is pushing hard to rezone nearby land, with an eye toward building a sprawling golf resort, which would drive Rose and Lily out of business.

Tempers are already steaming, but things really get sticky when Ford is found dead at the foot of Rose’s property and the police think she had something to do with his dramatic demise. Lily can’t let her grandmother get burned by a false murder charge. So she starts her own investigation and discovers Ford’s been brewing bad blood all over town, from his jilted lover to his trophy wife to his shady business partners. Now, it’s down to Lily to stir up some clues, sift through the suspects, and uncover the real killer before Rose is left holding the tea bag.  (Amazon)

Unfortunately, they don’t yet have the necessary means. So when a woman arrives—a cousin of Gwen’s—with an interesting and quite remunerative proposition, they two of them are all ears.

The cousin, one Lady Matheson, works for the Queen in “some capacity” and is in need of some discreet investigation. It seems that the Princess Elizabeth has developed feelings for a dashing Greek prince and a blackmail note has arrived, alluding to some potentially damaging information about said prince. Wanting to keep this out of the palace gossip circles, but also needing to find out what skeletons might lurk in the prince’s closet, the palace has quietly turned to Gwen and Iris. Without causing a stir, the two of them must now find out what secrets lurk in the prince’s past, before his engagement to the future Queen of England is announced.

Researching for the Ginger Gold Mysteries has been so much fun. I hope you sense that as you read. Ginger Gold is smart, savvy, and delightful. The fashions, the dances, the CRIME. The character of Haley Higgins, a medical student at the London Medical School for Women allows me to further delve into another keen interest of mine: forensics. Never fear, the Ginger Gold Mysteries are COZY, so no scary, graphic on-stage violence. You’ll find these books to be clean reads, with no swearing or sex. I hope you enjoy the Ginger Gold Mystery series!

A whip smart librarian’s fresh start comes with a tart twist in this perfect cocktail of murder and mystery—with a romance chaser.

MURDER ON TAP

With Chicago winters in the rearview mirror, Chloe Jackson is making good on a promise: help her late friend’s grandmother run the Sea Glass Saloon in the Florida Panhandle. To Chloe’s surprise, feisty Vivi Slidell isn’t the frail retiree Chloe expects. Nor is Emerald Cove. It’s less a sleepy fishing village than a panhandle hotspot overrun with land developers and tourists. But it’s a Sea Glass regular who’s mysteriously crossed the cranky Vivi. When their bitter argument comes to a head and he’s found dead behind the bar, guess who’s the number one suspect?

In trying to clear Vivi’s name, Chloe discovers the old woman isn’t the only one in Emerald Cove with secrets. Under the laidback attitude, sparkling white beaches, and small town ways something terrible is brewing. And the sure way a killer can keep those secrets bottled up is to finish off one murder with a double shot: aimed at Chloe and Vivi.

“An incredibly enjoyable book.”

When Charlie Mack is hired by her ex-husband’s new wife, things get awkward quickly. Her ex, Franklin, has been charged with his brother-in-law’s murder. Charlie and Pamela both believe he didn’t do it; it’s the only thing they will ever see eye-to-eye on. But he’s also in hiding for some reason neither of them understands. To the police, it adds up to guilt, but to Charlie, it indicates that Franklin has stumbled into an unplanned, and perhaps life-threatening, complication. Charlie wants proof the case doesn’t involve a double cross, and when the Mack Investigations team throws all their assets at the case, Charlie’s girlfriend, Mandy demands assurance that Charlie’s all-out efforts to find Franklin aren’t driven by lingering romantic feelings. In the end, everyone involved learns that loyalty often runs much deeper than love.  (Amazon)
