Estes Park, Colorado: picturesque mountains, charming shops, a cozy bookstore and bakery... and murder.
Salacious Socialites: Book Twenty-Eight
A blizzard threatens outside the windows of Winifred's log cabin in the woods, but Fred takes comfort in the sounds of the crackling fireplace and the not-so-gentle snoring of her corgi, Watson.
From out in the stary night, however, the crunch of tires in the snow interrupts Fred's relaxation-and Watson's visions of treats and belly rubs-propelling them into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Dastardly Ducks: Book Twenty-Nine
Winifred Page-Lopez breathes a sigh of relief and shakes off any worry about a big splash for her forty-second birthday. Estes Park's annual duck race fundraiser is sure to have tourists flocking to town and spending a fortune on raffle tickets-keeping everyone too busy for parties. Another sort of surprise bubbles to the surface, however, as the winning ducks swim down the river. These bright rubber toys aren't as wholesome as they appear, sending townspeople pecking at one another with rumor, gossip and outright physical altercations. And members of Fred's beloved family are right in the middle of this puzzle. Stormy Stars: Book Thirty
Hostility during local elections is far from unexpected in the picturesque mountain town of Estes Park, and, unfortunately, neither are accusations of police corruption. But Detective Green's behavior makes Fred fear a mid-life crisis and sends Watson into comfort mode. When the political drama escalates to murder, Fred must navigate the twists and turns of town gossip and revealed secrets as suspicion falls on those dear to her. Solving this mystery just might mean saving Susan-from herself. (This anthology includes a recipe for sophisticated Earl Grey Buns, luscious lemon poppyseed cake, and yummy, yeasty, cheesy garlic bread.)
