Pelican Point Cozy Mystery Series

Welcome to Pelican Point, where the shrimp boils are legendary, the gossip is faster than Wi-Fi, and the secrets are piling up faster than Bandit's stolen goods.

Sissy Belle Dawson came home to hide. Instead, she got a murder, a raccoon with a theft conviction, and two neighbors who have never minded their own business in their entire lives. Now she's Pelican Point's unofficial problem solver, armed with sharp instincts she can't turn off, a trio of accomplices who cause more damage than they prevent, and one wildly unqualified animal sidekick.

Every book brings a new body, a fresh batch of suspects who'd be insulted if they weren't included, and at least one spectacular disaster that absolutely nobody saw coming. (Maeve's truck is still at the bottom of a fish pond. She brings it up daily.)

There will be collateral damage. There will be pie. There will be a raccoon on someone's roof holding evidence in his mouth while the sheriff contemplates early retirement.

Perfect for fans of Jana DeLeon, Janet Evanovich, and cozy mysteries where the investigation goes sideways, the sidekicks steal the show, and the only thing sharper than the wit is the sleuth's instincts.

Seven books. Seven murders. One raccoon who made it worse every single time.

Sissy Belle Dawson had a plan. Return to her sleepy coastal hometown. Fix up her dead aunt's cottage. Avoid all human interaction until the sting of being fired by a bunch of twenty-eight-year-old tech bros faded into a manageable bitterness.

Simple. Quiet. Boring, even. Then a body washed ashore, her porch raccoon stole the dead man's watch, and the whole town learned her name in a single afternoon.

Craig Kinley was a developer with too many enemies and not enough friends. The sheriff calls his death an accident. The town breathes a collective sigh of relief. And Sissy Belle's gut, the inconvenient, never-wrong instinct she's spent twenty years ignoring, says everyone is lying.

Armed with a project manager's organizational skills, a raccoon with zero respect for personal property, and two neighbors who consider "staying out of it" a personal insult, Sissy Belle starts asking questions nobody wants answered.

Sissy Belle is going to find the truth. She's also going to accidentally send a rental car into the marina, commit light breaking-and-entering via casserole, and become the most feared gossip network on the Gulf Coast, all before her best friend Maeve stops laughing and Miss Loretta puts down the binoculars.

Southern sass, coastal chaos, and a raccoon who is absolutely not sorry.

Coming in October!
