Accidental Ghost Detective
Scents and a Suspect
When Nikki Knight returns to her childhood stomping grounds in Frog Hollow Georgia, she realizes life has become nuttier than the pecan muffins at her late grandmother’s haunted B&B. But the only ghost in the Moonlight Mansion is the previous lady of the house, still roaming the halls in her afterlife.
Not ten steps into town, Nikki finds herself with a furry new companion. An abandoned royal dachshund who just might carry the secret to his past owner’s untimely demise. But when Nikki is seen snooping around at one too many crime scenes, the local officer becomes suspicious and begins popping up where she least expects him.
Now, she needs to find out what happened ASAP and protect Prince Dasher Dangerdog Bean from falling into the wrong—and deadly—hands.
Can Nikki and her royal dachshund solve the case? Or will they end up roaming the Moonlight Mansion with her grandmother?
Trails and a Traitor
The town fair has brought visitors to Moonlight Mansion and they’re keeping proprietor Nikki Knight and her cohorts hopping like the bullfrogs the town is named after.
What’s a burgeoning detective with a ghostly grandmother, and two mischievous dogs, supposed to do when she finds a dead body trapped under a massive frog balloon?
Why start up an investigation of course!
Nikki has a sneaking suspicion the person, or persons, responsible for the crime are staying under her roof, and discovering information is harder than she initially thought. She needs the help of the newest member of the Accidental Ghost Detective Agency…which means revealing all of her secrets.
Will Lacey send her off to the looney bin in a glittery pink straitjacket when she learns the truth? Or will her once rival, turned best friend, join forces with the zany cast of characters to help untangle the snarled web that has become her life once again?
Hints and a Homicide
Nikki Knight and the Accidental Ghost Detective Agency should be getting ready for the mystery writers retreat at the Moonlight Mansion.
But when something other than Birdie’s pecan scones is found in the dining room, everyone is on the case.
With the appearance of one of the attendees’ dearly departed’s body, Nikki, Dash, Audrey, Birdie, and Lacey are in a race against the clock to identify whodunnit in a room full of people who write this stuff for a living.
Not to mention a new detective sniffing around the case, more so than Danger Dog.
In the idyllic town of Frog Hollow Georgia, there is never a dull moment, but the bonds of family and friendship are as strong as roots sunk deep into the Georgia clay.
Cookies and a Killer
The launching of a new bakery and fundraiser in town should be cause for celebration, not a murder investigation.
Just when I think things might be getting back to normal in Frog Hollow, my friend Carla’s business manager is found dead at the scene of her new year-round Christmas bakery.
When Dale, the gourmet grocer next door, suggests that the cookie fundraiser be held at his place next door, Nikki and the Accidental Ghost Detective team suspect foul play.
But all signs are pointing to Carla and some strange magical cakes.
Can Dash and I sniff out this case before the cookie crumbles?
Books and a Body
Buried secrets and spells bring murder and mischief to Frog Hollow once again.
Just when I’m prepared for a dull discussion at book club, a collection of old journals written by the town’s illustrious historian and author disappear from the Frog Hollow Library. Everything points to the journals containing secrets that one of the townspeople are willing to kill to keep hidden.
When Dash and I begin our search for the journals we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of a murder scene.
Now, with time in short supply, an clue appears from a unlikely source and points to suspects that place me and the members of the Accidental Ghost Detective Agency in the killer’s crosshairs.
Can Dash and I uncover all the clues before we end up as the latest victims in an unsolved murder mystery?
Petals and a Poison
Does this award-winning flower garden hide a sinister secret?
After the Frog Hollow Garden Tour announces the winner of this year’s contest, all that’s left is to enjoy a delicious banquet with friends and neighbors. But the evening takes a chilling turn when my dog Dash discovers a body near the garden’s beautiful pond.
What was meant to be a night of celebration soon blossoms into a true crime scene. As we try to weed out the culprit, every clue points to my good witchy pal, Pearl, especially when her pet peacock is found nesting in a patch of poisonous plants.
Can Dash and the Accidental Ghost Detective Team unearth this garden of secrets and restore tranquility to Frog Hollow before the poison finds its next victim?
