Persephone Pringle Cozy Mysteries

Persephone Pringle is 50, newly (and happily!) divorced and on a private, month-long retreat to find herself again. But when both sets of neighbors at her rented cottage on the ocean can’t seem to keep their personal lives out of hers, she’s about to pack up and leave. Problem is, finding a body on the beach means the local sheriff would rather she stick around, since she’s the prime suspect.

Persephone's first encounter with the wealthy elite of the Vesterville family isn’t what she expected, nor is she prepared for their animosity as the will of the patriarch reveals a treasure hunt will determine who gets the family fortune. When one of the potential heirs dies before the search can even begin, it’s up to Persephone to help find the answers before the family turns on one another.

When her friend opens a diner in their hometown, Persephone is the first one to support her. But when a local bully decides he liked things the way they were, she’s worried her friend’s new venture might not work out. And when a body is found on the premises, Persephone is dragged into a muddled mess that has less to do with blueberry pancakes and curmudgeons and more with more serious crimes.

Thalia Vesterville’s passion for flowers prompts her to host a brand-new festival on her estate. But when Persephone volunteers to help out, she realizes the behind-the-scenes activities of competitors and judges isn’t all blossoms and sunshine. And when she finds one of the participants dead, it’s quickly apparent there is more than one person who wanted the victim to perish.

When Persephone is asked to take on a young actress as a client while her newest movie films in Wallace, she quickly realizes the starlet is far more damaged than she expected. And when one of the cast dies tragically, Persephone’s focus turns to uncovering who killed the victim while doing her best to protect her daughter, Calliope, from the growing trouble between her and her girlfriend, Thalia.

Persephone rides to the rescue when her daughter asks for help with the issues she’s been having with her girlfriend, Thalia. But when the Halloween party the girls are hosting is interrupted by an unwelcome guest, Persephone shifts from therapist mode to protective mother. And when she finds a dead body, she has even more trouble on her hands when the sheriff decides Calliope is a suspect...

Thalia’s health scare lands her in a therapy center, though Persephone is concerned her mental state isn't improving. And when a young man whose favorite pastime is bullying ends up dead, Seph fears the Vesterville heiress killed him. Can she uncover the truth behind the facility’s façade before the handsome BCI detective she’s working with has to arrest her daughter’s girlfriend for murder?

The last thing Seph expected was to be invited to her ex-husband’s wedding. Even more so to have to help out when he’s sued at his own nuptials. But when the unhappy accuser is found dead, she’s bound to find out who did the deed before Trent’s new bride goes down for murder!

It's beginning to look a lot like theft--and murder! When Persephone Pringle attends a holiday market, she witnesses a not-very-cheery confrontation involving the town's new Santa.
