Moorehaven Mysteries: Book 3

Christmas has come to Moorehaven. With only one guest to take care of in the Victorian writer’s-retreat B&B, Pippa decides to attend a swanky party with her boyfriend, Lake, and his estranged one-percenter family. But numerous tensions arise during the evening, resulting in hurt feelings, sabotage, and a body on the floor. To make matters worse, Pippa’s catering neighbors are the main suspects.

As Pippa recruits her gossip group to prove the innocence of a beloved local, a thief’s bold move muddies the waters. Alarming rumors regarding the true character of Moorehaven’s founder come to light, threatening Pippa’s livelihood. Lake falls under the spell of his entitled family, so Pippa must turn to her friends and family for help to solve the murder of a man who wasn’t what he seemed. But an unexpected ally with an old family secret comes to Pippa’s aid, changing her life forever.

As a vicious winter storm roars toward Seacrest, Pippa must identify a jewel thief, team up with Lake’s ex-wife the police chief to catch a killer, follow clues to unearth Moorehaven’s lost secrets, and convince her boyfriend that she’s worth slumming for.

Moorehaven Mysteries: Book 2

Moorehaven is swarming with guests during summer’s last hurrah, and Pippa has her hands full at the mystery-author B&B. When her gossip-group connections inform her that a local construction project has unearthed a skeleton with a pocketful of Spanish gold, the news spreads, and treasure hunters flood the beaches. But the skeleton has a more recent connection to the area than anyone suspected, unearthing a shameful secret that hits far too close to home.

A marine salvage team rolls into town, seeking the rest of the treasure. When they hire Pippa’s boyfriend, Lake, to be their pilot, the team’s pretty spelunker quickly stakes a claim, rousing Pippa’s jealousy. But Pippa’s been playing tug-of-war over Lake ever since his ex-wife, Mallory Tavish, became the new acting chief of police.

When a killer’s strike brings tragedy to Moorehaven’s door, Pippa must rally her friends, family, and mystery-writing guests to catch the murderer before she loses someone she can’t live without and all the warmth of summer dies with one last gasp.

Moorehaven Mysteries: Book 1

Pippa Winterbourne runs Moorehaven, the Oregon Coast’s quirkiest bed-and-breakfast and former home of world-famous mystery writer A. Raymond Moore. Guests come there to write their own crime novels. When a real-life murder takes a local’s life and washes a handsome boat pilot into her arms, Pippa is yanked into a deadly plot of her own.

Juggling her book-writing guests, small-town intrigues, secret club agendas, and a possibly fatal attraction, Pippa must sort fact from fiction to know who to trust before a desperate killer claims a final revenge nearly a century in the making.
