Kim and Rory’s First Case

 

 

Meet Kimberley West, gemologist, dog trainer and reluctant amateur sleuth

When an acquaintance lassoes her into joining a large wedding party, Kim figures the worst that could happen is having to buy an ugly dress. How could she have predicted that, at the very first gathering, one of the guests would steal the future bride’s antique diamond ring?

Now the bride-to-be wants Kim to identify the culprit before the groom discovers his family heirloom is missing.

With only two days to find the culprit, Kim must juggle the investigation with her busy schedule as a psychology professor and her bridesmaid duties – all while keeping up with a precocious standard poodle puppy.

And, oh, yeah, she also needs to survive a bizarre first date: helping an ornithologist capture some wayward, wily turkeys.

Combining her knowledge of gemstones and psychology, Kim creates a unique sleuthing style to tackle her first mystery.

A Deadly Performance

 

Nick and Lexie Golden Stars Mysteries

Book 1

Murder takes center stage in this heartwarming cozy mystery featuring senior sleuths, a dancing dog and captivating twists and turns.

Lexie Morie isn’t ready to retire—especially not from chasing the truth. Imagine her shock when she walks into work and is ordered to retire immediately. Stunned, she leaves the newsroom for the last time. After decades of identifying herself as an investigative reporter, she’s been cast adrift.

Her nest has long been empty. She never mastered knitting. And there was no way she would put on spandex and join an exercise class.

So now what could she do?

Nick Morie’s sudden heart attack forced him to sell his computer company, leaving him without a direction. Golfing bored him, fishing put him to sleep, and he wasn’t yet ready to try skydiving.

So now what could he do?

Enter The Golden Stars, a newly formed troupe of senior citizens who want to give back to the world by entertaining. Some members dusted off childhood piano and violin lessons. Others signed up for singing and dance classes.

Nick liked to sing and dance. Lexie couldn’t dance and she lip-synced off key. But she did have a childhood dream: train a standard poodle puppy and join the circus. At age 65, the circus was out of the question. She could, however, bring home a puppy – and maybe perform on stage with him.

The Golden Stars’ first show promises laughter, music, and toe-tapping fun. But the show takes a deadly turn when Marlene Roberts—Annapolis’s most feared busybody—drops dead during Nick’s song. A suspicious scent of bitter almonds points to cyanide.

Suddenly Nick, Lexie and the Golden Stars are in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

At the desperate request of the troupe’s director, Lexie and Nick turn their respective skills to investigating murder. But when another body falls, their hunt for the truth turns personal.

And if they’re not careful, their own curtain call could come far too soon…

 A Deadly Performance is the first in a delightful new mystery series packed with charm, intrigue and hope. Perfect for fans of senior sleuths, mysteries with dogs and cozy whodunits with heart.
