Death Trap (Book 7)
Promising a big announcement, Stuart Hunter invites a small group of friends to a party at his large, rambling house, among them Chief Gilroy and Rachel Stowe. But when one of the partygoers dies screaming Gilroy’s name, Gilroy becomes a suspect in his own department’s murder investigation. Rachel’s fears that someone is trying to target him are confirmed when incriminating evidence is found at the murder scene.
When the mayor removes the chief from the case, Rachel and her friends spring into action. As they attempt to clear Gilroy’s name, Rachel begins to suspect that dark forces from Gilroy’s past are working behind the scenes. Would they go so far as to murder an innocent woman? Or does the answer lie closer to home?
Death Knell (Book 8)
A gathering of friends at a Juniper Grove cottage ends in tragedy when a woman plunges to her death from a bedroom window. Minutes later, bells at a nearby church begin to toll, waking the town’s residents. Rachel’s fears that the two events are linked are confirmed when Chief Gilroy declares the woman’s death a homicide and the pastor of the church says his computer-operated bell system was hacked.
The suspects are clear—every woman staying at the cottage—but the motive is a mystery. Who would want to kill a harmless substitute teacher and church worker? When the owner of the cottage begs Rachel to investigate, Rachel soon discovers that the victim was not what she seemed to be. With hard evidence in short supply, Rachel must dig into the victim’s and suspects’ personal lives to solve her most baffling case yet. Can she uncover the truth before the bells toll again?
Garden of Death (Book 9)
Rachel’s neighbor, Julia, was thrilled to be chosen as a judge in Juniper Grove’s annual garden show, so when the owners of the prize-winning garden invite her to a celebratory party, Rachel tags along. But the party comes to a crashing halt when one of Julia’s fellow judges drops dead. As Rachel struggles to piece together the events that led to the judge’s murder, she soon discovers that lies and ruthless ambition rule the supposedly genteel world of gardening.
In her race to discover the killer, Rachel must juggle her worries about Julia’s safety with her increasingly frustrating love life. Convinced her romance with Chief Gilroy has stalled and that he is keeping secrets from her, she must decide whether to accept things as they are or rock the boat.
