A Maggie May and Miss Fancypants Mystery Series

"This book has everything that makes it a good cozy. Light romance, devoted dog person, curious protagonist, and a mystery."   When Maggie May Carver moved to Baker Valley, Colorado she wanted two things: to open a dog barkery with her best friend, and to take care of her aging grandpa. But when her grandpa is accused of murder--a crime he may well have committed--Maggie finds herself in the role of amateur detective.   With her faithful Newfie, Miss Fancypants, at her side, Maggie is determined to find the real killer and clear her grandpa's name.   Assuming he isn't the real killer, that is.

Now that the pesky matter of her grandpa's "shotgun situation" is behind them, Maggie May Carver is ready to get on with settling down in Baker Valley, Colorado with her Newfie, Miss Fancypants. Unfortunately, when Maggie's nemesis, Janice Fletcher, is found dead, Maggie is the main suspect. Actually, she's the only suspect. Now, whether she wants to or not, Maggie has to find the real killer before she's locked up for life.

Maggie May Carver is done with murder. She's sworn that if she finds another dead body she's just going to step right over it and continue on her merry little way. But when a little boy with sad eyes and freckles shows up asking her to find his mom, she just can't say no.   Once more Maggie is in the thick of things, this time trying to find a little boy's mom in time for his birthday with the help of her cranky grandpa, the handsome local cop, and his charming but criminally-inclined brother. Oh, and of course, her incorrigible Newfoundland, Miss Fancypants.

Just when things are starting to settle into a nice little routine, Maggie finds herself once more tracking down a murderer. One she hopes isn't her best (and only) customer.   Add to that the little complication of Matt's brother coming to town--a man who's a deadly dangerous combination of Matt's good looks and Lucas Dean's charm—and Maggie has her hands full.   That's alright. With her trusty Newfie Miss Fancypants at her side, there isn't a murder Maggie can't solve. No matter how much she'd rather be eating cinnamon rolls instead.

Maggie May Carver is a bit bored waiting for the new pet resort to open. So when she finds out that the daughter of one of her former barkery customers was murdered and the case was never solved, she decides to investigate.   It's tricky enough to find a murderer but even trickier when her cop boyfriend is also pushing for the dreaded M word something Maggie is most definitely not ready for.   But with her trusty Newfie, Miss Fancypants, at her side, she'll figure it all out, one way or another.

Maggie May Carver hates weddings, which is why she's trying her best to ignore the fact that her best friend's wedding is right around the corner.   But when someone tries to sabotage the wedding, Maggie May is determined to find out who it is. Because no one messes with her best friend.   And to keep just how bad the situation really is from the already nervous bride, Maggie finds herself in the unlikely role of wedding planner extraordinaire.   Can she pull off a wedding for two hundred people in less than ten days? And find the culprit?   Only one way to find out.

Lucas Dean is dead and, honestly, Maggie May Carver couldn't be happier. So when the cops can't figure out who did it? Fine by her.   But when a second person turns up killed in the same unique fashion, Maggie's interest is piqued. Sure, her cop husband will probably solve it without her help, but what's the harm in asking a few questions here or there? After all, if the cops don't want her help, they could always solve the case themselves.

Just when Maggie May Carver thinks her life is finally going to settle into happy newlywed bliss, a very scary man finds her and asks for her help in solving a thirty-six-year-old murder.   While a smart person would say no, Maggie feels compelled to at least give it a chance.   And good thing, too, because she's going to need the distraction given the other things that are disrupting her bliss…   Join Maggie, Fancy, Matt, and crew as they dive into yet another situation that they should have left alone but that's ultimately better for their involvement.

Bed rest. Is there anything worse? Not for Maggie May Carver.   But when a puzzling pooch makes a surprise appearance she's not going to let that stop her from figuring out where he came from and how to get him back home.   Join Maggie May, Fancy, Matt, and the crew in this final book in the Maggie May and Miss Fancypants Mysteries series.
