Fudge Laced Felonies

I marched into church on Sunday—not to search for God, but to find a killer. (Quote by Summer Meadows)

Diamonds, a bloody glove, and a can full of cash. What next? While transplanting a rosebush, Summer Meadows and her church’s handsome greeter, Ethan Banning, accidentally uncover a hidden stash of diamonds, a rusty can filled with cash, and a bloody gardening glove. Consequently, Summer and her candy-making aunt launch an investigation to uncover the killer. However, as Summer draws closer to the truth—not only about the theft but also about her growing feelings for Ethan—the diamond thief devises a deadly plan to silence the feisty sleuth once and for all.

Candy Coated Secrets

Trouble followed me like a fat boy after an ice cream truck. (Quote by Summer Meadows)

A whirlwind of carnival mishaps and misadventures erupts when Summer Meadows and her fiancé, Ethan, set out to solve a murder. After a carnival train crashes in front of Summer’s house, she does what comes naturally—she acts first and thinks later, volunteering to lead an elephant to the fairgrounds. Meanwhile, the animal’s trainer follows close behind but mysteriously disappears before they arrive. Then, when Summer goes searching for the missing trainer, she discovers something far more shocking—a woman hanging dead in the shower of one of the trailers. Consequently, Summer and Ethan find themselves caught in a dangerous mystery where nothing is as it seems.     PRINT       KINDLE  

         

Chocolate-Covered Crime

“I won’t let anyone mess up Summer’s special day. Lord knows I thought this day would never come.” (Quote from Summer’s Aunt Eunice)

Summer Meadows’s chocolate candy business is thriving, and she already has her hands full planning her April Fool’s Day wedding. However, against her family’s better judgment, she hires her cousin as her wedding planner. Then everything unravels when her cousin is found murdered and a string of strange incidents disrupt family gatherings. Consequently, Summer and her delightfully dysfunctional relatives become entangled in a tangled web of unrequited love, internet scams, and broken hearts. Although everyone urges her to stay out of the investigation, Summer can’t resist following the clues. But is the killer a member of her own family, and has Summer become the next target? Moreover, will her fiancé stand by her sleuthing antics, or is he hiding secrets of his own?   PRINT    KINDLE

Maui Macadamia Madness

“Nothing wannabe about it.” I lifted my chin. “I solved three crimes.” And almost died solving each one of them. (Quote by Summer Meadows)

Summer and Ethan are spending their honeymoon in Maui. Ten days of love and relaxation. No mysteries to solve or snarky women to try to get their nails in Ethan. No dead bodies. Or so she thinks! Summer and Ethan head to Maui for their honeymoon. The sun doesn’t set before they find themselves thrust into another mystery. This time, Ethan is more than willing to help Summer gather the clues, since the sooner the culprit is caught, the sooner they can get down to honeymoon business. Alas, it’s not to be as they discover that Summer’s uncle is one of the very people being targeted by a scam artist and a bipolar beauty. Set against the backdrop of beautiful Hawaii, tour the great island with Summer and the gang to catch a murderous crook.  PRINT       KINDLE
