Winifred Page and her corgi, Watson, move to Estes Park to hit the Reset button on life. Fred is about to open her dream bookshop, and the only challenges she anticipates are adjusting to small-town life, tourists, and living close to her loveable mother, Phyllis, and hippy stepfather, Barry.

When Fred steps into her soon-to-be-bookshop for the first time, she expects dust bunnies and spiders… not the dead body in the upstairs kitchen. The local police have an easy suspect—Barry.

When a shocking murder shatters the tranquility of a sleepy Oregon town, and a priceless sculpture turns up missing, all fingers soon start pointing at new resident Zack Anderson.

After the death of her husband, Claire Rollins moves to Boston, Massachusetts to start a new life.

This story has some mild paranormal elements.

The Enchanted Garden behind Elliana Allbright’s perfume shop draws people of all ages with its fragrant flowers and lush greenery. But when the magical serenity is interrupted, it’s up to Ellie to sniff out a killer.

Ellie’s life has blossomed in Poppyville, California, since she opened Scents & Nonsense, a custom-made-perfume store. Her skills with aromas and botanical essences—some from her very own garden—seem almost…supernatural. Her perfumes can evoke emotions, bring about change, or simply make people happy. Customers are flocking to the store to buy her wares or just to sit in her beautiful garden, sip tea and enjoy homemade cookies.

Jennifer Brooks normally leads a quiet life. A Mental Health Administrator during the week, a breeder and exhibitor of champion Cardigan Welsh Corgis on her own time, and member of the board of directors of her national club. Her quiet life is turned upside-down when the club treasurer dies in an accident and the husband asks Jen to take charge of their dogs and his wife’s records. She turns the treasury records over to another board member, but someone wants something else. First the treasurer’s house is burgled, then Jen’s. There’s an attempted break-in at her office, followed by a series of disturbing phone calls.

But who murdered him? Was it one of his patients? His bitter spouse? His assistant? Or is something more nefarious going on in Sabrina's once-idyllic small town of Treasure Cove?

Food blogger Gia Rizzo has a lot on her plate - double bacon cheeseburger not included. With her sweet corgi by her side, all she ever wants is a fresh start in the quaint town of Greenville. But when a blonde is murdered at a local burger joint, Gia must sacrifice savory blog posts to prove a handsome guy from her past is innocent. Or as the son to an infamous murderer, is Tony Santino actually to blame? Things really heat up when the killer sets his sights on Gia. Find out what gets dished up in the first of the Curvy Soul Mysteries, which is sure to tantalize your tastebuds as well as your inner sleuth.
