There's no shortage of murder, mayhem, and romance in the small town of Tarrytown, Missouri. Come visit for a while! THE CASE OF THE BOUNCING GRANDMA WAS THERE REALLY A FOOT DANGLING OUT OF THAT CARPET? Fifty-two-year-old Glory Harper is stuck in a wheelchair with a broken leg, bored, and itching for some excitement. She doesn’t expect it to come in the form of a foot dangling out the back of a carpet as it’s carried into her new neighbor’s house. But Glory’s past “run-ins” with the police makes her latest report more difficult to believe. And, just when she thinks someone’s taking her seriously, Glory realizes Detective Rick Spencer, a Harrison Ford look-alike, appears more interested in her than in her story. Despite little to no support from family and police, Glory is determined to solve the mystery—racking up laughs for the reader along the way! THE CASE OF THE MYSTIFIED M.D. FIRST A FOOT, NOW A HAND—WHAT BODY PART IS NEXT? When her puppy finds a severed hand on a walking trail, it’s obvious to “Bouncing Grandma” Glory Harper that the signet ring belongs to the missing college professor who caused a lot of trouble around town before his disappearance. Despite warnings from her boyfriend, Detective Rick Spencer, to stay out of the investigation, her insatiable desire to solve the mystery of his murder finds her in over her head with a community filled with secrets, blackmail, and arson. With her sister otherwise engaged, Glory latches onto an unlikely partner and soon feels as though she’s stepped into an episode of the Twilight Zone—where nothing is as it appears, and danger lurks around every corner . . . THE WEDDING BARTER NO WEDDING BUDGET? NOT A PROBLEM FOR THESE DETERMINED FRIENDS! While Amy Lawton awaits her discharge from the Army, she’s left her best friend Riley in charge of arranging “a very small, intimate ceremony with no fanfare” for her and her fiancé. But this childhood friend has something else in mind... she just doesn’t know if it will work. After presenting her “wedding barter” idea to the groom, his conditional agreement is dependant on whether his best man, Mike Todd agrees to the strange proposal. And, getting the giant of a man on board seems next to impossible. Todd is threatening, overbearing, doesn’t like Riley or her ideas, and gives her an ultimatum: Produce results in three weeks or he takes over. Todd might be tough, but Riley’s determined to not only succeed in throwing Amy the wedding of her dreams, but to prove Todd wrong. . . about everything. HIDING FROM CHRISTMAS No matter how hard she tries, Maddie Kelley can’t seem to fit in at Ornamental, a company founded by her great grandfather and his best friend. Now, after yet another screw-up, she’s been sent into the “enemy’s” camp—two hours away from home for the next two months. A punishment or a blessing? Her life is turned upside down when the mundane turns unexpected, and she finally discovers where her heart truly lies.
