Eve Barrett

There's nothing Eve Barrett loves more than a crisp autumn morning in Deep Creek, Maryland. Well, except maybe curling up with her cat Shadow and golden retriever Duke while plotting her next mystery. Between walks around the lake and quiet moments of reflection, she finds inspiration in the small-town charm that surrounds her mountain home.

Eve's perfect day? A cozy chair, hot chocolate, and a good mystery - whether she's reading one or writing one. When summer rolls around, you might catch her on the beach with her notebook, but her heart belongs to fall with its colorful leaves and sweater weather.

Her faith keeps her grounded, while her imagination takes flight with each new story. Duke and Shadow make sure she takes plenty of breaks to enjoy the simple things in life, like belly rubs and treat time.
