Sweetfern Harbor Books 1-4 (PAPERBACK)

She wanted a quiet life running a B&B. She got a crash course in homicide.

Brenda Sheffield thought retiring to the coast meant fluffing pillows and pouring tea. But you can't erase years of working as a Private Investigator’s assistant just by moving to Maine. In the salty, scenic town of Sweetfern Harbor, Brenda discovers that her nose for trouble is the only thing keeping her—and her guests—alive.

This signed paperback anthology collects the first four books of the sprawling 16-part Sweetfern Harbor series. It weighs in as a substantial addition to any cozy mystery shelf, perfect for readers who love a savvy female sleuth and a seaside setting worth killing for.

Inside This Signed Edition:

• 1. Posies and Poison

  Brenda inherits the Sheffield Bed and Breakfast and falls for the town’s charm—until she clashes with Lady Pendleton. The wealthy tyrant owns half the town and winds up dead in her car right outside Brenda's inn. Brenda must dust off her old PI skills to help the handsome Detective Mac Rivers find the truth before the killer strikes again.

• 2. Dead in Bed

  The only thing worse than a difficult guest is one who claims she owns your inn. When washed-up actress Ellen Teague arrives with an eviction notice and turns up murdered the next day, Brenda looks like the prime suspect. Betrayed by Detective Mac and given only 48 hours to clear her name, she’s in a race against the clock to avoid trading her apron for an orange jumpsuit.

• 3. Captain Dead Man

  It’s boat race season, and the rivalries are fiercer than a lobster in a trap. When a captain dies and his boat (along with the evidence) sinks to the bottom of the bay, the organizers insist the show must go on. With no physical proof and plenty of sabotage, Brenda fights to catch a killer determined to win at all costs.

• 4. Ghostly Tours

  Brenda doesn't believe in ghosts, but she definitely believes in profit margins. Her plan to host spooky Halloween tours at the inn goes great... until a prop mummy turns out to be a very real corpse. Now, she must dig into the B&B’s dark history to find a killer who is very much alive.
