A donut today brings trouble my way.

I’m Ellie Hart. I never dreamed that a new dog walking job would drop me in the middle of a drama. But here I am with my black Lab, Marley, and my newest client, Honeybee, the local diva’s beagle.

Mysterious accidents follow the celebrity like a crazed fan and when poisoned custard almost kills her, drips of the sweet filling lead right to my sister’s donut shop. I’ll do anything to clear her name which puts the lid on my simmering romance with the handsome detective in town.

When the dogs and I stumble on a mysterious rundown cabin and an old unsolved murder, it looks like I’m the newest target for a mishap.

The race is on to sort out this sticky mess before I end up in more than hot water.

Grab yourself a helping of Custard and a Crisis. Don’t miss the latest adventures of Ellie Hart and her lovable Labrador, Marley. Find out what happens next between Ellie and the handsome detective. Best of all, meet Ellie’s latest doggie client, Honeybee, a star beagle.

I always thought weddings were supposed to be about joining lives… Not ending them.

But when an unexpected guest shows up dead on the beach and the groom seems to be hiding more than just cold feet, I need to take my chef’s hat off and don my deerstalker once again.

Who was this mysterious stranger that came to town claiming to be a long lost relative, and why is she now dead? Who is the groom really, and are his intentions for my friend pure?

Deceit—like revenge—may be a dish best served cold, but I’m not quite sure any of us have the stomach for it. Wedding bells are ringing, but might they also be the death knell? And is the killer really going to be satisfied with just one victim when two could be twice as nice?

Oh, dear. Pip and I certainly have our work cut out for us this time…

A donut or two and an important clue.

Nothing spoils a romantic evening with the hottest detective in town like stumbling upon a body. Oh. My. Bad. Luck. But, hey, I’m Ellie Hart and lately murder follows me everywhere.

Seeing the body was more than enough mayhem for me, but unfortunately, the prime suspect threatens to blackmail me into helping clear her name. Now I have no choice but to find a missing clue.

With the clock ticking and questions piling up, it looks like I might not get to collar the criminal. But my luck might not be over. Marley, my ever-faithful black Lab, is always at the ready to lend a sleuthing paw.

We have to sniff out the murderer before the sneaky killer slips the muzzle and lives happily ever after. Or kills again.

Autumn on the Maine coast is stunning, which brings the tourists out in droves. My restaurant, the Little Dog Diner, is teeming with them, thanks to the locally famous fall festival.

Usually that’s a great thing… this year, however, the discovery of a dead body puts a damper on business awfully fast.

Add to that, the fact that the victim had a vendetta against almost every small business owner in town, and now I’ve landed right in the middle of the very long and tedious suspect list.

Looks like it’s time to toss my apron aside and don the detective hat once more. Thankfully, Pip is more than ready to assist in this one, because if I didn’t get to the bottom of this chaos quickly, it could be me getting cooked!

I’m Ellie Hart, and ever since I started my new job as a dog walker, my luck has changed for the worse!

There’s been one murder after another, and I keep finding the bodies. It’s putting me, my sister, and her donut shop on the new detective’s radar.

At least my furry clients are cute, and if we can sniff out the suspects, we might just be able to get ourselves out of the sticky messes we keep stumbling upon.

Grab yourself a huge helping of this clever new cozy mystery series with your chance to binge the first three books in one special boxed collection. You’ll fall in love with Ellie Hart, her dog, and the cast of characters who keep her on her toes. Enjoy!

Don’t get married on Christmas Eve, they said.

The holiday will overshadow your special day, they insisted.

Little did they know that a shockingly festive murder would put everything else on hold.

When all signs point to my sometimes friend, sometimes rival, Detective Crenshaw, I’ll need to work fast so that he’s not forced to spend his holiday in the slammer. But in throwing myself feet first into the real crook’s crummy conspiracy, I could be risking so much more than a spoiled day… The future of my forthcoming marriage could very well be on the line too.

Oh, boy… Can Pip and I solve this one in record time so that my fiancé’s and my perfect day can go off without another major hitch?

Turning thirty can be murder! 

When a body is discovered next to the Little Dog Diner on her milestone birthday, Dani Mackenzie finds herself scooping up a scandal instead of cutting cake.

The prime suspect is the new owner of the Blueberry Bay Grapevine, but the victim’s stepbrother and ex-girlfriend also have means, motive, and opportunity.

With this trio of suspects, it will take a good nose to uncover whodunnit. At least Dani has her best friend—her Jack Russell, Pip—at her side to help sniff out the killer! But in the meantime, her kick-off to her thirties is turning into more of an upside-down cake than a celebration as she uncovers money, a business scandal, and thwarted love at the core of this crime.

It will take the victim’s black Labrador and finding a winning lottery ticket to solve this mystery, but Dani never throws in the towel. Will she and Pip once again use their experience at solving mysteries to bring justice to Misty Harbor, Maine, or will they be caught in the crosshairs of the killer?
