Synopsis

Murder on the Vine:

Bookstore and bar owner, Jaycee Sullivan, figured it was just another typical day when her pastry chef sister, Jax, asked her to help deliver chocolates to a local winery. However, the discovery of a dead body was anything but typical for Jaycee. When the hunky new detective in town, Mike Connors, demands Jaycee keep her nose out of the investigation, she decides she has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. After all, her sister’s baking reputation is on the line, and a killer is still on the loose. With the help of Gramps--a retired Army colonel--her mom, and Tillie--a former trapeze artist and contortionist--Jaycee picks up the investigation gauntlet and runs with it. Between slinging suds, boozy baking, and numerous wine tastings, Jaycee must scramble to bring down the killer before Jax is next in line.

Burning Hot Murder:

With only two weeks before Jax's new bakery opens, Jaycee and the gang are hard at work finalizing arrangements. Unfortunately, the untimely murder of two Traveler's Bay citizens is putting a damper on the happy occasion. Even worse is the fact that both Jaycee and Jax are once again thrust into the forefront as prime suspects. When Jaycee's boyfriend, Detective Connors, is taken off the case due to a conflict of interest, Gramps gives Jaycee the go-ahead to work her magic and solve the case. Amid the chaos of serving up drinks and gossip at Gone with the Whiskey, cop car chases, motorcycle jumping, gang-initiation rituals, and joyriding in a Miata-smashing truck, Jaycee and the gang must once again traverse their way into clearing the Sullivan name.

Pre-PEAR to Die:

It’s mid-August in Traveler’s Bay, and Jaycee Sullivan is not only busy preparing for an Agatha Christie themed party at her bookstore and bar, Gone with the Whiskey…but Gramps and Tillie are tying the knot soon and there’s still no venue in sight. As Jaycee and the girl gang scramble to find a solution to their wedding problem, Gramps gives Jaycee the surprise of a lifetime—a military friend is in trouble and Gramps needs to enlist Jaycee’s help.
Korean War veteran and long-time hermit, Len Sadowski, is tired of someone coming onto his property and terrorizing him and his dog Old Blue. When Mr. Sadowski blows a hole the size of Texas in his front door, he must admit he can no longer see and shoot like he used to. Supplying Jaycee and Gramps with three suspect names, Jaycee promises to look into who is intimidating Mr. Sadowski. Unfortunately, Jaycee discovers too late that Mr. Sadowski may not have much time left. As the clock ticks down for Mr. Sadowski, Jaycee recruits the help of Jax, Heidi, and Bridget…and between alien encounters, car crashes, family dinners, and an Agatha Christie party, Jaycee must try and solve the puzzle of who wants Mr. Sadowski dead and why.
