Three of my best-selling Cozy Mystery stories!
Delightful mysteries full of suspense, action, plot twists, and of course, murderous enigmas!
Death and Breakfast
After a long, successful career in the corporate world, Larissa Forsyth decides to accept her fate's challenge and follow a completely different and unfamiliar path. She spontaneously agrees to manage the bed and breakfast she just inherited and leave her old, full of stress, life behind. Her peaceful escape though, is soon interrupted by the horrid murder of her former boss in one of her bed and breakfast's rooms. With rumors of haunting ghosts surrounding her business and speculation of her being the murderer, Larissa needs to start running again, but now against time and the police. Investigating a case and examining suspects, while the police arrests an employee of hers, is definitely not the idyllic lifestyle she had in mind after quitting her job. Nevertheless, she is the only one eager enough to solve this mystery as everyone else seems blinded by the paranormal whispers around the case. Is she determined enough to see clearly and uncover the truth or is her righteous spirit going to be broken? Most importantly, will the killer's mysterious identity be exposed or will it remain hidden in the shadows?
A Deadly Bake-off
Poppy Pompadore always aspired to be a well known and recognized pastry chef, but life had other plans for her. Living in a small town, she tries to exercise her beloved craft by working in a restaurant she actually hates, just to be close to what she loves doing for a living. Destiny will smile at her after a long time though, when she wins a spot to witness her idol, Galvin Sandy, competing at an exclusive bake-off event. However, things will take an unexpectedly shadowy turn, when one member of the party will have the last meal of their life while tasting Galvin's food. To everyone's shock, the guest is fatally poisoned and Poppy sets off to a crusade to prove her idol's innocence by finding the real killer, before Galvin and his reputation get destroyed. As evidence builds up against him, she must focus on her goal and tackle the crawling suspicion about the person she looked up to the most. Will an innocent man go down for a murder someone else committed? Will Poppy manage to expose the real killer or has she been looking at him all along?
A Murder's Gruesome Premiere
Struggling experienced actress, Maggie Fulton, is trying to find a way to make it back to the stage, after being rejected because of her age for years. When the moment comes and she is offered a part in a theatre production, she is determined to prove herself again. Little did she know though, that this would not be the moment for her to shine, but rather the one to throw her into the shadows. In a dark twist of fate, during the play's opening night, her male co-star falls dead in her arms in front of everyone and Maggie ends up being the only and prime suspect. In a race with time and everyone around pointing fingers at Maggie, will she find the true killer and prove herself not only a worthy actress this time, but most importantly, innocent? With the killer getting closer to her as she gets closer to the truth, who will be the first to reach the finish line?
