Moonlight Murder Mystery Club: Rising Suspicions

Posted on by BookReviews

Some nights end with a fall. Eleanor Marsh’s ended at the bottom of stairs she never used.

When a beloved retired teacher is found dead in her own basement, everyone calls it a tragic accident—everyone except her niece, who shows up at Sage Holloway’s bakery soaking wet and certain the police have it wrong. But proving it means tracing stolen silver, marked twenty-dollar bills, and a caretaker who vanished overnight.

Then there are the missing research notes. The old property records that don’t add up. And the most trusted woman in Crescent Harbor, who smiles a little too perfectly every time someone asks the wrong question.

In Crescent Harbor, the sourdough is rising, the secrets go back decades, and some truths are buried under false bottoms for a reason.

She solved one murder. Now the cat’s dragging her into another—and this time, the real danger isn’t at the bottom of the stairs. It’s at the top.

Moonlight Murder Mystery Club: A Bitter Taste

Posted on by BookReviews

Some mornings start with coffee. Sage Holloway’s started with a corpse.

When Crescent Harbor’s most hated developer drops dead, police zero in on the obvious suspect — Sage’s employee, a single mom whose public threat against him now looks an awful lot like motive. But Sage knows her. And Sage knows better.

Armed with a baker’s instincts, a suspicious coffee cup with very strange sediment, and Shadow — her unnervingly perceptive cat — Sage starts asking questions that powerful people would rather she didn’t.

In Crescent Harbor, the scones are fresh, the secrets run deep, and some things were buried for a very good reason.

She just wanted to bake. Now she has to find a killer before someone decides she knows too much.

Book 1 of 5 — The complete Moonlight Murder Mystery Club series is available now.

(A Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery Series Book 31)

Campground cozy mystery with murder and gossip

Happy Trails Campground should be all hammocks, campfires, and quiet nights under the stars—but gossip travels fast when trouble rolls into town on four wheels.

When famous bounty hunter Colt Lincoln is found dead inside the Smelly Dog Groomer, clutching a sponge curler that belongs to Dottie Swaggert, suspicion immediately lands on the Laundry Club Ladies. Mae West knows her friend couldn’t be responsible, even if Colt had been stirring up trouble since parking his fifth-wheel camper at Happy Trails.

As Mae and the Laundry Club Ladies dig deeper, they uncover Colt’s connection to a notorious motorcycle gang—and the timing couldn’t be worse. A motorcycle convention is in town, filling the campground with strangers, secrets, and potential suspects. To protect their own, the ladies go undercover to find out whether the killer is hiding in plain sight among the bikers.

Meanwhile, Mae’s mama is pressing her to finalize wedding plans with her fiancé Hank, adding personal pressure to an already volatile situation. With rumors spreading, tensions rising, and danger creeping closer, Mae must sort truth from hearsay before another life is lost.

With Southern charm, sharp instincts, and plenty of campground know-how, Mae races to catch the killer before this case rides off into the night.
