Memories and Mementos

Book 1 in the Button Club series.

“For a group of ladies who talk a lot about buttons and such, you sure go through a lot of wine…”

Gladys, Vivian, Paige and Laura, a group of women ranging in age from midthirty to more than eighty, are supposedly running a Button Club, though their real object seems to be to sleuth and solve crimes. Helped by Gladys’ radio enthusiast husband Ed, and local police officer Alton Nolan, who has a soft spot for Paige, the female foursome throw themselves into investigating a series of missing items at The Pheasant Valley Retirement Home.

Memories and Mementos is a fun, light-hearted, cozy mystery novella featuring four women who all bring their own personality and skills to the sleuthing table they share. If you like the idea of a bunch of amateur sleuths fuelled by wine, cookies and a desire to do good in their community, check this one out. At 134 pages, this is a quick read, and if you like this, there are six more books in the series for you to enjoy.

An Invitation to Mystery

You are hereby summoned to a most singular and confidential gathering at the renowned five-star Spencer Inn, nestled upon the shores of Deep Creek Lake, Maryland.

A cozy mystery novella in the Deep Creek Detectives Club series featuring a collection of Lauren Carr’s detectives brought together for a weekend of luxury and sleuthing. Arranged by Mac Faraday, with the purpose of closing a case that has been left unsolved for forty years, the Deep Creek Detectives Club must pool their resources and work together to discover exactly what happened to Charlotte Anne Whitaker in 1985.

An Invitation to Mystery is part cold case whodunnit, and part madcap comedy, filled with loveable characters, a luxurious setting, delicious food descriptions and three dogs who love to put on a show. It is fun, quirky and humorous, and at 84 pages, a quickly read, low-stakes take on the murder mystery weekend getaway trope.
