Uncover the truth with Lucy Hartwell in this charming six-book collection!
When ambitious young journalist Lucy Hartwell arrives in picturesque Millfield, she's hoping for a stepping stone to bigger opportunities. Instead, she finds a home, a career, and a knack for solving murders that the local sheriff might have missed. Armed with her reporter's notebook, insatiable curiosity, and the help of photographer Jake Bennett, Lucy discovers that small-town news can be deadly serious.
What's Inside:
FRONT PAGE FATALITY Lucy's dream job at the Millfield Gazette takes a dark turn when the town's most disliked real estate developer is found dead at his own shopping complex opening. Between dodging fluff piece assignments and following the money trail, Lucy's first big story might be her last if she's not careful.
BURIED IN THE BYLINE When the beloved town librarian is found dead among the stacks, Lucy's journalistic instincts tell her it's no accident. As she investigates a lucrative development project and fends off the affections of the charming new doctor in town, Lucy uncovers a motive worth killing for.
DEADLINE FOR MURDER The Millfield Summer Arts Festival turns deadly when a renowned food critic collapses after judging the town's baking competition. With the local baker wrongfully arrested, Lucy follows a trail of clues suggesting the murder had nothing to do with food criticism at all—and the killer is still watching Lucy's every move.
STOP THE PRESSES! When the Gazette is sold to a media conglomerate, Lucy fears for her job. But corporate politics become the least of her worries when the ruthless new editor-in-chief is found murdered after firing half the staff. With the paper's future hanging in the balance and her own name on the suspect list, Lucy races to solve the case before the final edition goes to print.
OFF THE RECORD Millfield's charity gala is disrupted when wealthy philanthropist William Thornton collapses during his speech. Initially thought to be natural causes, Lucy discovers evidence of foul play in Jake's photographs. As she uncovers that Thornton's charitable foundation wasn't as charitable as it seemed, Lucy puts herself in the crosshairs of a desperate killer.
FINAL EDITION After five years at the Gazette, Lucy has become the heart of the paper and town's unofficial detective. When she receives an anonymous warning about danger at the upcoming Founders Day celebration, she initially dismisses it as a prank—until the beloved mayor is found dead. As Lucy investigates her most personal case yet, she must decide whether her future lies with the Gazette or beyond Millfield—if she survives to write the final edition.
Perfect for fans of small-town mysteries, enterprising heroines, and journalism tales with heart and humor. Follow Lucy's journey from ambitious newcomer to the soul of Millfield in this complete collection of the beloved "Deadlines & Deadlines" series!
