One cozy mystery and one suspense thriller!
The game is simple. The rules are deadly.
Sheriff Shea Callahan thought February would bring peace to Misty Hollow, Arkansas. She was wrong.
When real estate agent Ashley Price is found murdered with the letter “A” carved nearby, Shea suspects a one-time crime of passion. But four days later, librarian Belinda Collins becomes victim “B.” Then coffee shop owner Cathy Morrison makes three.
The pattern is unmistakable. The message is clear: someone is killing their way through the alphabet.
A chilling note arrives at Shea’s desk: “One down, twenty-five to go. I wonder if you’re smart enough to stop me before I reach Z.”
As the body count rises and the killer’s taunts grow bolder, Shea and Deputy Trevor Bolton race against time to identify the murderer before he completes his twisted challenge. But this killer isn’t just hunting victims—he’s hunting Shea, turning her own town into a deadly game board where she’s always one step behind.
With the FBI descending on Misty Hollow, tension mounting between her and Trevor, and families already destroyed, Shea must outwit a predator who believes he’s intellectually superior to everyone hunting him.
But what if catching the killer isn’t the end of the game? What if it’s only the beginning?
From the author of the Sheriff of Misty Hollow series comes a pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you reading late into the night. AMAZON
Crystal Waters has her hands full managing Riverside Towers, a sprawling apartment complex where drama is usually limited to noise complaints and broken appliances. But when her miniature long-haired dachshund, Minnie, discovers the body of Richard Thornton in their beloved dog park, Crystal’s orderly world is turned upside down.
Richard wasn’t just any victim—he was the wealthy developer determined to bulldoze the dog park for luxury condos, and half the neighborhood wanted him gone.
The suspect list grows longer than Minnie’s ears: a restaurant owner facing financial ruin, a grieving pet owner seeking revenge, an environmental activist with a criminal past, and Richard’s ex-wife who stands to inherit millions.
But someone doesn’t appreciate Crystal’s curiosity. Threatening notes, a ransacked apartment, and a vicious attack on a potential witness make it clear the killer will stop at nothing to keep their secret buried. Good thing Minnie has a nose for trouble—and murder.
As Crystal follows the clues her clever dachshund uncovers, she realizes the killer is closer than she ever imagined. With Minnie by her side and danger closing in, Crystal must dig up the truth before she becomes the next victim.
Perfect for fans of small-town mysteries, loyal canine companions, and amateur sleuths who refuse to let sleeping dogs lie.
Off the Leash is the first book in the Daring Dachshunds series—cozy mysteries featuring Crystal Waters and her fearless miniature dachshund, Minnie, solving crimes one paw print at a time. AMAZON
