FICTION

Each of my books is a self-contained and complete mystery, but they're best enjoyed in order, so I created a reading order list to help you figure out where to start. You can click on any of the series titles or individual books to learn more. Enjoy!

Maple Syrup Mysteries

Ex-lawyer Nicole Fitzhenry-Dawes thought that moving to the small Michigan tourist town of Fair Haven and taking over her uncle’s maple syrup farm would keep her far away from murderers, liars, and criminals. She couldn’t have been more wrong…

If you love small-town settings, quirky characters, and a dollop of romance, then you’ll enjoy this amateur sleuth mystery series.

Prequel - Sapped (best read after Book #1)

Book #1 - A Sticky Inheritance

Book #2 - Bushwhacked

Book #3 - Almost Sleighed

Book #4 - Murder on Tap

Book #5 - Deadly Arms

Book #6 - Capital Obsession

Book #7 - Tapped Out

Book #8 - Bucket List

Book #9 - End of the Line

Book #10 - Slay Bells Ringing - includes both a Maple Syrup Mystery novella and a Cupcake Truck novella

Book #11 - Rooted in Murder

Cupcake Truck Mysteries

Isabel Addington wants only two things from life--to hide from her abusive husband and to run her cupcake food truck. But while she's baking up sweets, everyone around her seems to be cooking up murder...

Book #1 - Sugar and Vice

Book #2 - Dead Velvet Cake

Book #3 - Gum Drop Dead

Book #4 - A Sampling of Murder (coming February 2021)

Book #5 - Poison-Spiced Murder (coming April 2021)

*Slay Bells Ringing also includes a Cupcake Truck Mystery novella set before Isabel arrives in Lakeshore. However, if you haven't yet read the first nine Maple Syrup Mysteries, I recommend you read them before reading Slay Bells Ringing because it contains some character spoilers for that series.
