(2025)(A book in the Cottage on Gooseberry Bay series)
An omnibus of novels by Kathi Daley
In book 16 in the series, Ainsley goes on a stakeout with Parker only to be left wondering how things could go so horribly wrong. Meanwhile, Ainsley is excited for her sister Avery's upcoming visit, Josie is getting her catering business off the ground, and Winchester Academy is closed for the summer giving Ainsely and Adam some much needed time together.
In book 17 in the series, Ainsley is hired to put a stop to the plans recently announced by the local scrooge to evict twelve families from the apartment building he owns just two weeks before Christmas.
Meanwhile, Adam and Archie are working hard preparing for the annual Winter Ball, Remi finds the new deputy in town too captivating to ignore, Parker has been assigned her first big story since making the move to the Seattle News, and Bexley has a truck load of puppies to place with foster families so they don't have to spend Christmas behind bars.
When Ainsley Holloway stumbles upon the body of a substitute teacher beneath the high school bleachers, it seems like an open-and-shut case. All evidence points to Justice, a brilliant but troubled student with ties to the victim—and no alibi. But Ainsley’s gut tells her there’s more to the story.
In a race against time, Ainsley must unravel a tangled web of lies, hidden histories, and painful truths to clear Justice’s name. But as the investigation draws her deeper into the shadows of the past, she begins to wonder: how far will someone go to keep their secrets buried?
Set against the enchanting backdrop of Gooseberry Bay, The Cottage at Gooseberry Bay is a heartwarming mystery series about friendship, family, hope—and the unbreakable bonds forged in life’s darkest moments.
