The House on Fifth Street: A Bailey Rae Mystery
The past remembers what paper forgets.
Bailey Rae Vaughn thought inheriting her great-aunt’s Victorian house on Fifth Street would mean clearing out the past. Instead, she uncovers a mystery someone spent decades trying to bury.
The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes, her aunt was protecting something far bigger than a house. And someone is willing to kill to keep the past buried.
Because this isn’t just about property.
It’s about history… and who gets to claim it.
Knot Before You Enter: Maxine Gerimatter Cozy Mystery
Maxine Gerimatter, an octogenarian is sharp as a tack and fiercely independent, even if life has landed her at Sunny Ridge Living Care Facility.
While secretly plotting her escape, she instead finds herself tangled in a murder mystery when a member of the Wise Weavers Crochet Club is found dead under suspicious circumstances.
Old instincts kick in. As a former research assistant to a private investigator, Maxine knows how to follow a thread—and this one leads to more than just tangled yarn.
With secrets hiding behind every friendly smile and a killer lurking in the halls, Maxine must stitch together the clues before someone else ends up unraveling for good.
