About this series
Beth Lousiere, once known as Loser, learns there's new evidence concerning the murders of her husband and daughter three years ago. The crimes, along with suspicion that she was responsible, sent Beth into such despair that she lived on the streets of Richmond, Virginia, for almost a year, lost in grief and pain.
Somewhat recovered though still plagued by insecurity and odd phobias, Beth returns to Richmond to face the past. Soon she's the suspect in a new murder, a woman who might have been involved with her husband. To escape arrest, Beth disappears into the anonymous world of the homeless, becoming Loser again. There she's protected by people like her, society's outcasts, but she also finds support from others: Jake, her former partner on the police force; Verle, a local restaurant owner; Bert, her lawyer; and his associate, Alex, who cares more about Beth than she's comfortable contemplating.
As events of the past and present merge, Loser comes to realize she's been framed for murder a second time. Fearing her problems will endanger her friends, she goes deeper into hiding. By the time she begins to understand why someone did this to her, Loser is pursued by killers who don't care why. They track her to Belle Isle, determined to kill her. As she struggles desperately to survive, Loser realizes the life she once thought worthless has become precious, offering friendship, peace, and perhaps love.
Titles in the series (3)
- Killing Silence: The Loser Mysteries, #1
1
Loser washes up in gas station restrooms, wears Salvation Army giveaways, and eats what she can find, beg, or filch. Life on the streets of Richmond, Virginia, is hard, but it's better than facing her demons. That is, until she meets Bryn, a little girl who steals her heart. When Bryn's daddy is accused of murder, there's no one willing to help except Loser. Penniless, almost mute, and terrified of failure, Loser attempts to gather her resources and prove Nick Saraff is innocent of the crime. The problem is that now she's in as much danger as Nick. Someone is working against her--someone who's more than willing to kill again.
- Killing Memories: The Loser Mysteries, #2
2
Hailed as the "Homeless Hero" after her adventures in Book #1, Loser, also known as Beth Lousiere, needs to recuperate from the stress and her injuries. She returns to West Virginia, where her foster mother left Beth her home and property. When another of Marta's foster daughter's shows up, Loser is drawn back into danger, with a teenage boy to rescue and a criminal operation to uncover and defeat. People want to help: her lawyer Bert, her street friend Mabel, and Bert's new young partner, Alex Bronson. Still, she doubts herself at every turn. Can she solve another murder and rescue another child in need when she still can't sleep inside, when she still counts her words each day, and when she still thinks of herself as Loser the Loser?
