Death in the Garden
A garden center manager. A friend accused of murder. Can she dig up the truth before she becomes the next victim?
Heather Cameron’s quiet life in Gamble Grove, Texas, is uprooted when her mentor and friend, Walter Sims, is accused of murdering the town’s most hated man. With all the evidence—and Walter’s shovel—pointing to him, Heather knows the police won’t look any further. Desperate to prove Walter’s innocence, Heather launches her own investigation, uncovering secrets that make her question everyone around her.
With the help of the town’s new detective, Kurt Steele, Heather searches for clues among the tangled relationships and hidden motives of Gamble Grove’s residents. As the suspect list grows and another attack rocks the community, Heather realizes the killer is closer than she ever imagined. Can she solve the case before she becomes the next target?
Death in the Perfect House
A reporter with a nose for trouble. A suspicious death in suburbia. Can Zoe Wilder solve the mystery before she becomes the next victim?
Zoe Wilder, reporter for The Spencer’s Ridge Gazette and aspiring cozy mystery author, is used to seeing crime where others see coincidence. When she discovers her friend Margo Kingsley dead in what police call an accident, Zoe is certain it’s murder—and she’s not the only one. Margo’s housekeeper agrees, but the sheriff’s department dismisses their suspicions.
Enter Chief Deputy Caleb McBride, a former homicide detective with his own reasons for starting over in Winston County, Texas. He’s determined to keep Zoe from meddling, but when the killer targets her, Zoe and Caleb must join forces to uncover the truth.
With humor, heart, and a knack for getting into trouble, Zoe races to solve the case before the perfect house becomes the scene of another crime.
Death in the Grave Yard
A graveyard discovery. A determined amateur sleuth. Murder has a way of finding Zoe Wilder—whether she wants it or not.
Zoe Wilder is finally settling into her new life when a simple visit to her grandmother’s grave takes a shocking turn—she stumbles over the body of a young woman. Despite warnings from the handsome sheriff, Zoe can’t resist the urge to investigate, especially when her friend Letty is sidelined with a broken ankle and her longtime nemesis, the HOA president, seems to be everywhere she turns.
Juggling neighborhood drama, Letty’s recovery, and her own quest for answers, Zoe dives headfirst into another mystery. With her trademark wit and determination, she’s on the trail of a killer—before she becomes the next victim.
