Criminal defense attorney Nicole Fitzhenry-Dawes faces her most challenging cases yet in the final books in award-winning author Emily James’ Maple Syrup Mysteries.
ROOTED IN MURDER – BOOK 11
Emotions run deep. The truth runs even deeper…
Nicole finally has the life she always wanted. She’s working on figuring out her new role as a wife, settling into her job as a partner at a law firm, and preparing to plant new trees at Sugarwood.
Right up until her dog digs up a skeleton at the spot where they’re supposed to plant.
Nicole’s hopes for avoiding being sucked into the decade-old crime go up in smoke when her nemesis calls in the favor she owes him.
GUILTY OR KNOT – BOOK 12
Half-truths and lies…
…It’s what a lawyer’s life is made of.
Nicole has her hands full preparing for the birth of her baby and setting up to show movies on the weekends in her maple syrup bush. Tourist season has come to Fair Haven.
But when an opportunity arises to represent a client who insists he’s innocent, she can’t turn it down. It might be her last chance before the baby is born. And it’s a puzzle.
Based on the evidence, the woman’s death couldn’t have been natural causes, an accident, a suicide, or a murder. What’s left?
STUMPED – BOOK 13
Sometimes nothing’s more puzzling than the truth.
Nicole thinks she’s worked her last case before her baby is born…
Right up until a man covered in blood walks into her law firm.
He claims he doesn’t know how the blood got there or who it belongs to. He’s desperate for Nicole’s help.
But with her license still under probation and her baby due soon, Nicole’s not sure how much she’s willing to risk.
Wondering where Book 10 is? It is two novellas packaged together (one from the Maple Syrup Mysteries and one from the Cupcake Truck Mysteries), and thus isn’t included in the box set. If you’d like to read it, search for Slay Bells Ringing: A Murder Mystery Duet.
