Heron Lies Mabel McQueen

Journey to Cobalt Bay, a picturesque Pacific Northwest island-town with an abundance of wildlife, one very intuitive Pomchi, and a modicum of murder.

The last thing Shelby Stewart needs with her B&B grand opening only hours away is one more complication. But when Kodi, her Pomchi, chases a heron into the bushes along the shore and turns up a coffin, complications are all she's going to get.

Now law enforcement officers are tromping all over her flowerbeds and eyeing her like she might have killed the poor woman-because of course it makes total sense that she offed a complete stranger, put the victim in a coffin on her own beach, and then called 9-1-1 to report it. Cue a hearty eyeroll.

At least the sheriff seems like he has a good head on his shoulders-and what a nice-looking head it is-but it couldn't hurt for Shelby to lend a hand with the investigation, could it? After all, she still has a now-postponed grand opening to pull off, and it will go a long way toward building their clienteles' trust if she can find the real killer. And she really needs this B&B to be profitable, or she and her mother might end up living out of a cardboard box.

Track down criminals with Shelby in this cozy mystery series. Clean and wholesome romance and recipes included.
