Shabby Hearts Series

Arcadia Shabeaux can't believe her luck. Aunt Mavis hands her the keys to the family business, the Shabby Hearts Trailer Park and Campground, but there's a catch. It's only two weeks before tourist season begins and the place is in major disrepair. Lake Dennis isn't the hottest spot on the "Redneck Riviera," but Arcadia has plans to change all that. That is, if she can keep her dysfunctional family, a nosy Bigfoot and an overbearing television reporter in check. Add to the madness Arcadia's arrogant ex-boyfriend and an attractive newcomer who's caught her eye, and you've got a sure-fire recipe for disaster--and fun! When Pierre Ledbetter, the owner of the Happy Hooker Bait Shop, disappears, the residents of Shabby Hearts naturally blame it on the legendary cryptid. Everyone except the sheriff, who believes a Shabeaux has to be responsible. The tension rises when a resident of the trailer park dies mysteriously and the Lake Dennis community erupts into chaos. Arcadia isn't sure how it will all play out, but she is determined to uncover the truth as quickly as possible. Immerse yourself in a humorous, small-town trailer park cozy mystery with a side order of the paranormal.  

Selling lipstick never killed anyone. Right? When Arcadia's cousin Tiffany becomes Lake Dennis' newest Bevvy Jane salesperson, the Shabby Hearts Trailer Park is turned upside down.

Naturally, some residents blame the murder on Bigfoot. Arcadia's ex is the new sheriff and pins the crime on Tiffany. If Arcadia wants answers and has any hope of setting Tiffany free, she'll have to get to the bottom of Shabby Hearts' latest mystery.

What fans of the series have to say: "I really enjoy this series it's funny and has lots of action. The characters are fun and have great personalities. Interesting stories and good southern accents. Try this series it's very entertaining." "A quirky cast of characters and possible big foot sightings make A Touch of Shabby a great little read! The author expertly blends the paranormal together with a cozy mystery that's not so easy to solve because there are more than a few suspects. The plot is fast paced and I honestly didn't figure out who the murders was until it was revealed. I can't wait to read the next book in the series."
