The Beaver Island Mysteries: Books 4-6
(2023)(A book in the Beaver Island Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Maia Ross
★★★★★ "Hilarious" — Amazon reviewer
A retired spy, a GenX nerd, and a slothful pug...
Water Town
When one of Irma’s friends asks for help vetting a potential suitor, she’s sure that a little digging into his past will do the trick. But after she discovers that a robotic appliance might be on a rampage in the almost-beau’s swanky houseboat community, she sets out to entice Violet into unravelling another technological snafu.
It takes some doing to properly motivate Violet, and even worse, a strange young man has been skulking around Irma’s house, alarming Mr. P, her furry sidekick. On top of that, there’s a new sheriff in town who's been raising Irma's hackles—along with her curiosity about what’s happened to Chief Pickle.
After a loved one is injured and a friend’s son is arrested for murder, Irma has to confront her idea of family—and what she’s willing to do to protect hers. Will she and her crime-fighting companions join forces to find a killer…or die trying?
Safe Harbour
There’s a stranger—or two—in town, putting retired spy Irma Abercrombie even more on edge than usual. She still hasn’t tracked down Igor Ivanovitch, the gun-for-hire who escaped his jail cell earlier in the summer. And after things go south at a banquet to celebrate Snookie Smith’s recent gardening triumphs, the blame looks like it’s going to be cast at Irma’s feet.
When one of those out-of-towners is found dead on a lonely stretch of Beaver Island road, Violet thinks she’s off the hook, investigation-wise, when there’s no technology connection. But after she discovers that a newly engaged friend is on the island for a month-long sojourn, things get a bit stickier. Her buddy is gearing up for a bash to celebrate her impending nuptials, but what if a stalker has followed the bride-to-be to Beaver Island?
After some excitement on the island ferry knocks Irma for a loop, Violet has to pinch-hit for her on a mini mission that almost lands her in the slammer. As a confrontation approaches, Violet isn’t sure whom to trust…or where to find safe harbour.
Bon Voyage (Releasing November 30, 2023)
International troublemaker Igor Ivanovitch has been a thorn in Irma Abercrombie’s newly-retired side all summer—and now he’s demanding she help him with a mysterious mission. Irma gleefully turns him down—but suspects that he isn’t out of her hair for good.
When a beloved local turns up dead, Irma suspects he’s been murdered, and after she and her nerdy sidekick Violet Blackheart end up on different paths, former spy Irma Abercrombie has to unravel a mystery with limited help. To her dismay, the murder appears to be linked to Igor and the clandestine project he tapped her for, making Irma determined to find out why he’s targeting the citizens of Beaver Island again… And who is responsible for hiring him.
The stakes have never been higher for Irma and her allies. Can they foil Igor Ivanovitch’s nefarious plans? More importantly, can they do it without attracting the attention of any official looky-loos? With the clock racing, Irma and her crew have to foil Igor and his team—or die trying.
Irma Abercrombie wants to save the world.
Violet Blackheart just wants to survive her vacation.
