DOLORES MAYE COZY MYSTERY BOX SET: MEADOW WOOD MYSTERIES (Vol. 1-4)
Former Chicago news reporter Dolores ‘Dee’ Maye and her dog Rosie move to small town Colorado, seeking tranquility among the majestic mountains and towering pines. But murder has other ideas for this dynamic redheaded duo.
Book 1: Mayhem in Meadow Wood
Dee and her loyal Goldendoodle, Rosie, leave Chicago’s chaos for Colorado’s tiny home bliss. But peaceful plans go up in smoke when a neighbor winds up in a fiery grave during a birthday party. Dee’s investigative instincts ignite as she digs through buried secrets searching for the elusive murderer. The smoke gets even thicker when a second Meadow Wood neighbor is found dead in the woods. Will the culprit be discovered in time, or is Dee playing with deadly fire?
Book 2: Menace in Meadow Wood
Dee and Rosie may be in danger by those they trust the most. When they stumble on a body in the communal garden, Dee’s new life gets complicated fast... especially when she discovers the dead man was a notorious mobster. As Dee's friend Derek joins the hunt for the killer, his past comes knocking hard. Dee must follow a twisted trail of deceit to uncover the truth as secrets spill out like a crime novel she wishes she'd never opened.
Book 3: Maligned in Meadow Wood
Derek’s brother Daniel is threatened…but Derek is the real target. Now Daniel faces murder charges and the only witness is in a coma. Meanwhile, a dangerous militia group is stirring up trouble. A mobster from Derek's past may be behind it all. Dee is doing everything she can to clear Daniel’s name as she and Derek grow closer. Enemies close in as new leads bring danger to Dee’s doorstep. Can they save Daniel and Meadow Wood before time runs out?
Book 4: Mischief and Matrimony in Meadow Wood
A Wedding, a Heist, and a Killer on the Loose. Dee and Derek are in love and about to say "I do", but a jewel thief and murderer, not to mention several last-minute wedding disasters, are causing trouble in paradise. Time is running out, and someone they trust is lying. The killer might even be someone in the bridal party. If they don’t uncover the truth soon, 'til death do us part' might come a lot sooner than they think.
