The Series
Eight books (and counting) of small-town murder, solved by an innkeeper, her doctor boyfriend, and a border collie with excellent instincts. Read in order, or jump in wherever looks good.
The book that starts it all — Elsie Harper trades city life for a run-down New England inn, and finds her first body before she's even finished unpacking.
A full house of guests, one very inconvenient storm, and a killer who never left the property. Elsie's inn becomes the scene of the crime.
Mountainwood's riding stables hide more than horses. Murphy sniffs out trouble before Elsie can, in a mystery that digs into the town's oldest families.
A body on the ninth hole turns the town's golf club upside down, and Elsie discovers that country club manners hide country club secrets.
Summer on the water turns deadly when a fixture of the Mountainwood Yacht Club is found overboard — and everyone on the dock had a reason to push.
A contentious town council vote ends in murder, and Elsie learns that small-town politics can be more dangerous than anyone let on.
A weekend at the ski lodge turns into a whiteout murder investigation. Snowed in with a killer, Elsie has nowhere to run and nothing but instinct to rely on.
A body at the animal sanctuary's reopening gala forces Elsie, Tom, and Murphy into their most personal case yet. Coming 2026.
