Pelican Shores Cozy Mystery Collection: Books 4-6
(2025)(A book in the Pelican Shores Cozy Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Bessie Barr
Death, Deceit and the Deep
Stranded in the Gulf next to a dead body, Finn, Birdie, Beau, and Queen Bean are rescued by the opulent Merry Merrow, a luxury yacht. The victim? A missing passenger. The captain? Obsessed with online ratings. The killer? Still on board. With communications down, no way off the yacht, and passengers vanishing, Finn and Birdie race to read the currents of motive and opportunity before the storm (and the murderer) closes in. If they’re wrong, the next headline will be theirs.
Death, Pageants and Pie
One bite. One dead man. Reggie ‘Boom Mic’ McGraw drops after judging the Pie-Off, and Finn Dockrey and her best friend, Birdy Black, land in the crosshairs. Birdie’s pie was his last taste. With the Fourth of July crowd in chaos, Finn and Birdie chase clues through the Red, White & Afloat Boat Parade, a reinvented Ms. Firecracker Pageant, and a People’s Choice tasting brimming with suspects: a salty sea captain, a wannabe starlet, a Gyotaku street artist, and a repentant pie thief. As fireworks and feelings spark (hello, Detective Pace), Finn must spot the real recipe for murder before the next slice turns fatal.
Death on the Trail to Jesse James
As a town-wide illness sweeps Pelican Shores, hospital beds fill, and then cut brake lines send a golf cart careening, leaving a neighbor dead. At the neighborhood BBQ, Finn Dockrey, Birdie, Beau, and Queen Bean sift rumors and ribs while suspects stack up: a shady health inspector, a too-slick new chef at The Plucky Pelican, and anyone rattled by the return of cryptic Jesse James letters. The legend’s trail turns hot, pointing straight toward a trap. With hearts complicating logic (thanks, Detective Pace), Finn must untangle food, feuds, and false leads before the killer serves a final course.
**Author Guarantee: Bessie Barr Books can be read in any order and are free from cussing, graphic descriptions of violence, and bedroom activities. Plus…enjoy the maps and bonus recipes!
