A Cozy Mystery Series
Innkeeper. Amateur sleuth. One very opinionated border collie. Book 8, The Sanctuary's Return, is on the way — join the mailing list to be first to know.
Coming Next — Book Eight
Mountainwood's animal sanctuary has always been Elsie's quiet refuge — until a body turns up on the grounds the night before its reopening gala. With old grudges resurfacing and the town's trust on the line, Elsie, Tom, and Murphy have to work fast before the sanctuary closes for good.

Follow the ProgressMeet the Town
Innkeeper of the Mountainwood Inn, and the town's most reluctant amateur detective. Sharp-eyed, stubborn, and always the last one to leave a mystery unsolved.
Border collie, professional troublemaker, occasional hero. Murphy has a nose for trouble long before Elsie does — and no patience for staying out of it.
Local physician, Elsie's steady partner, and the voice of reason she doesn't always listen to. Usually right. Rarely thanked for it.
