The Desert Pines Mystery Series

A small town, full of secrets. A burned-out barista, hiding from her past. A dozen crazy neighbors, and a President mad with power. Welcome to the HOA meeting from hell!

Jane McLaren is happy living and working in the sleepy resort village of Desert Pines, Oregon—or so she tells herself. She has a home with her feisty grandfather for as long as she wants it, a steady job as a barista, and no questions asked.

Boredom may be a small price to pay for privacy, but Jane quickly discovers that when nothing has meaning, you might start to care about anything. Even the HOA.

After a minor town scandal escalates into something more sinister, neighbor turns on neighbor and the annual meeting of the homeowners association ends in open murder.

Can this unwilling amateur sleuth solve the mystery before it's too late, or will the murderer strike again?

Clever, cozy, and fun, Death By Association delivers a complex mystery, a lovable cast of characters, and a strong message about what it means to face your past, no matter how much it hurts.
