A Hollywood Murder Mystery series

Welcome to A Hollywood Murder Mystery Series by Cynthia Hickey—where glitz, glamour, and murder collide under California sun. Join investigative journalist-turned-sleuth Kelly Canyon, her famous boyfriend Brock Hanson, and her spirited grandmother Ruthie as they chase truth, danger, and betrayal across red carpets and movie studios. When every celebrity interview, cosmetic contract, or award ceremony hides secrets—and maybe a killer—Kelly must use wit, courage, and courageous amateur sleuth skills to expose the darkness behind lights. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with Hollywood flair, whodunits with glamour and suspense, and mysteries that balance laughter, romance, and danger. Dive into this series of Hollywood murder mysteries, twists & turns, and come along for a ride beyond the velvet rope.

Kelly Canyon wants to be an investigative journalist and takes photos of celebrities to pay the bills. When an actress is murdered following an interview by Kelly, she and Brock Handsome, uh, Hanson are the primary suspects. Mishap and hilarity ensue as Kelly is roped into clearing her name, helping the police catch a killer, and keep herself from being another notch in the belt of Hollywood’s Golden Boy. She never intended to star in a movie. Nope. Nada. Yep.

Yet, here she is acting in a movie, falling for Brock, and running from someone who very much wants her to stop trying to solve the murder, even if by doing so guarantees Kelly her job back. KINDLE PRINT

Kelly Canyon still doesn’t know her chosen career path, but is paying her bills by acting and taking photographs of celebrity pets. Her first book, based on the previous murder of a Hollywood starlet, promises to be a best-seller. Now, Kelly finds herself embroiled in another murder investigation rife with twists and turns, secrets and deception. With her furry sidekick, Shutterbug, Handsome Brock Hanson, and her fun-loving grandmother, she takes Hollywood by storm to catch a blackmailing killer and write another book. KINDLE PRINT

Kelly Canyon’s grandmother, Ruthie, is finally achieving her dream and receiving a lifetime achievement award for her years of acting. Unfortunately, someone wants Ruthie dead and takes a shot at her while she’s standing on stage. Pandemonium reigns as Brock Hanson, Kelly’s famous boyfriend, tackles Ruthie to the floor. Kelly finds the dead body of the theater’s janitor in a darkened hallway and clues lead to the man’s death being linked to the murder of Kelly’s father years before, and it seems Ruthie knows something she isn’t aware she knows. Someone is taking protection money to turn a blind eye to the movie studio owner’s nefarious deeds.

The closer Kelly and her trusted friends get to finding the dirty cop who killed her father, the more the danger grows. Kelly finds herself on the run and in the protection of an unlikely angel. Will Kelly survive to find justice for her father’s death? KINDLE PRINT

Why can’t she have a party that doesn’t result in a death?

With their television crime drama up for an award, Kelly Canyon and her grandmother Ruthie are smack dab in the middle of Hollywood’s social scene. Things were going great until they find a body floating facedown in their pool. As Kelly sets out to solve the crime, and write another best-selling novel in the meantime, she finds herself running for her life one step ahead of the person responsible for her father’s murder when she was a child.

She won’t stop now. Not when she was so close to finding the answers she sought. Come along as Kelly and her crazy, but loveable group of cohorts, once again immerse themselves into murder. KINDLE PRINT

Kelly Canyon’s grandmother is finally getting married and has one wish…

…that no one dies during the reception.

Unfortunately, wishes don’t always come true, and a top Hollywood agent is murdered. Kelly and her crew are thrust into the midst of a murder that ties very strongly into the death of Kelly’s father years before.

From the glitz of Hollywood to the blitz of Las Vegas, Kelly is thrust into a dark danger that threatens to take away everything she holds dear.

Will she ever get justice for her father and enjoy a future with Hollywood’s golden boy, Brock Hanson? Or will her thirst for vengeance be everyone’s downfall?

The final book in the Hollywood Murder series is sure to satisfy. KINDLE PRINT
