    About this series

    Summertime... And the murder's easy.


    It’s the week before the 4th of July and Pine Grove is in a frenzy.


    Big Time developer Hank Rosenberg wants to build a “Massive Mart” in town. And he’s going to knock down several beloved business to make it happen.


    The townspeople are up in arms. Pine Grove is quaint. And serene! Way too charming for a mega store. Besides, who in the world needs to buy toilet paper ninety-six rolls at a time?


    The night before the historic buildings are set to be torn down… Big time developer Hank Rosenberg dies, face down in a plate of Miss May’s “Every Berry Pie.”


    Hunky detective Wayne Hudson is more than happy to chalk this one up to natural causes. But Chelsea and Miss May suspect foul play, and they set off to find the killer, no matter the danger...


    What starts out as a fun adventure gets deadlier with each summer day, and the girls need to solve the mystery before summer business is ruined in Pine Grove…or worse.


    You'll love this book because it's light and clean, and everyone loves a cozy that keeps you guessing.

      From the oven it came… …smelling like apples, cinnamon, and love. Everyone adores Miss May, except the guilty. In a small town, where neighbors know each other, lawn chairs come out in the spring, and if you sit around chatting long enough, someone brings you pie, there are still skeletons in every closet. Luckily for Pine Grove, Miss May has a nose for crime. The body was found face-down in the orchard. Chelsea’s not sure crime-fighting is her strong suit. She’s up at her Aunt May’s farm recovering from heartbreak, after all, trying to forget the guy who left her at the altar. But when cousin Maggie’s fiancé is murdered, Chelsea’s own botched wedding seems like less of a big deal. Who would have killed him? The handsome and charming Detective Wayne thinks it’s Maggie. Miss May and Chelsea know he’s wrong, but they don’t have proof. There’s a killer on the loose in their little town and they’re determined to find the culprit. Who had motive? You'll adore this clean cozy mystery because everyone loves small-town mysteries with comedy, suspense and yummy food. Get it now.
