Veronica Swift Mysteries Series

Join Roni and Doodle, her sassy Westie, as they explore who killed Kourtney Blake, before Roni goes down for the murder herself.   Veronica (Roni) Swfit just wants to make shoes and run her custom- made shoe shop, but no one told her non-peak season at Last Resort and Spa in in Crescent Valley, Vermont would be so dead.   She's struggling to make ends meet and too stubborn to accept help, which means she's stuck working with the ever unpleasant Kourtney Blake—her brother's ex-fiance— in an upcoming St. Paddy's Day event for the resort.   The partnership is not going well and becomes much harder to manage when Doodle discovers Kourtney's body under the ski lift.   Detective Graham Parker is on the case, working closely with Roni's best friend—Angela (Angie) Stewart— who happens to be the head of resort security.   Sparks fly between Detective Parker and Angie, but tensions rise when Roni is considered the prime suspect by the chief of police.   Roni's recently found family at the resort rally around her as they help her triumph over injustice. The only question is: what is it going to cost her?   If you love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, or Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series, you'll adore this oddball group of characters and entertained by a twisty murder to solve.

Veronica Swift is getting ready to open her very own custom shoe shop at the extravagant Last Resort & Spa. Teddy Swift is getting ready to marry Kourtney Blake (aka the Wicked Witch of the North), but when Kourtney's wedding heels are stolen, all the Swifts' plans might be thwarted.

Delve into another adventure with Roni and Doodle full of humor, good friends, and an unhinged killer.   Veronica (Roni) Swift and her ever-present floofy companion, Doodle, are barely scraping by at the shop, but after what happened back in March, the board isn't trying to make Roni run any more events. In fact, she doesn't really have to worry about rent anymore, just feeding the sassy four legged creature that everyone says is a Westie, but Roni's pretty sure he's half human.   Jade Baker—owner of Enchanted Reads and Teas, plus one of Roni's best friends—has an emergency. She's forgotten that she scheduled a murder mystery party for the Ladies Who Book bookclub and needs help to get it set up. Roni and friends quickly rally behind her, helping to find costumes, the murder mystery story, and decorations in time for the party.   Enchanted Reads and Teas is dressed up and ready for guests in the knick of time, and its doors locked to the public, a relief to Jade and her reputation as a business woman. But, in a bizarre twist of fate, the 'murder victim' in the game actually ends up dead, and who should find her but Roni and Doodle.   Two deaths in only a couple of months. That's disquieting.   This time Detective Graham Parker—Roni's best friend's boyfriend—is asking her for help. The women have clammed up like the mafia, refusing to talk for fear of being next, because one thing is abundantly clear…   One of the Ladies Who Book is now a lady who kills, and she's got her eye on Roni.   Is Roni brave enough to out the killer before she heads home, loosing the lead and any evidence she might take with her?   If you enjoyed the Stephanie Plum and Miss Marple series, you'll love this book.
