The Sweet Cove Cozy Mysteries: Books 1-4
(2026)(A book in the Sweet Cove Cozy Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Joy Patrick
Some small towns hide their secrets in plain sight—Sweet Cove buries them six feet deep.
When predictability-loving security analyst Grace Jordan returns home to help her whimsical Aunt Lyla with the bookstore, she's escaping her carefully controlled city life–and confronting a decades-long secret of her own. But what awaits her is something far more sinister: a body count that defies the odds in this seemingly peaceful coastal town.
From a businessman's suspicious death to international intrigue involving shadowy power brokers, each case pulls Grace deeper into a web of deception that threatens everything she holds dear. Armed with cybersecurity training and joined by Detective Sherwood, Vietnam vet Chuck, and a quirky cast of small-town characters, Grace learns that logic alone won't crack these cases–sometimes you need instinct, courage, and a little help from unexpected places.
Four puzzling mysteries. One unshakeable sleuth. Zero chance she'll walk away.
