Requirements: ePUB / MOBI Reader, 1.7MB
Overview: Kathleen Hering lives in Oregon, dodging the same rain storms that splash about the characters in the Designer Mystery series she writes. She is a former journalism teacher and middle school principal (only the brave need apply.) She and her journalist husband spend their time riding a tandem bicycle, rowing a tippy canoe on Oregon’s Willamette River, and enjoying their grandchildren — not necessarily in that order.
Genre: Fiction; Mystery, Cozy
#1 – Hammered, Nailed and Screwed
Interior decorator Laura Howard is receiving messages from her husband on her telephone answering machine. It’s his voice all right. But his ashes are in the urn on Laura’s fireplace mantle. . . Now wealthy from her husband’s life insurance benefits, Laura tries to put her life in order. She strains to keep her sense of humor and sanity as vandals destroy her car and burglars ransack her house. Is it the final straw when the new resident of the home she shared with her late husband is killed on the very designer tile Laura selected for the entryway? All this—plus mysterious and threatening messages from her cheating, lying, no-good husband—begins to push the ever-tasteful Laura to that tacky place known as despair. Oregon Detective Chris Pfeifer has everyone including Laura on his suspect list while Laura has everyone including Detective Pfeifer on her dinner date list. Between decorating gigs, Laura and her co-workers – a cantankerous retiree and a handsome young contractor – assist Detective Pfeifer as he unravels the truth behind the bizarre twists in Laura’s life.
#2 – Ripped, Stripped and Flipped
"Finders keepers, losers weepers . . ."
Interior decorator Laura Howard has no intention of keeping the gift someone left for her in the yard of the 19th Century Italianate house she’s helping to restore. And, Detectives at the Portland, Oregon, Police Bureau don’t plan to close their investigation until they find out who delivered the gift, a corpse wrapped in newly poured concrete. The police — whom Laura now sees so often that she’s considering buying additional place settings — think whoever killed "concrete man" is trying to frighten her and the other partners at Graham Construction away from the building site. Laura isn’t convinced she’s in danger, but she begins to question how much can be coincidence when one thing after another goes wrong, including a second suspicious death. Her spirits crash when her once-faithful boyfriend appears to be running for Carouser of the Year. Everyone working on the Street of Dreams show homes is a suspect, but even the police are caught off guard when the twisted mind of a killer unravels on the eve of the open house tours.
#3 – Studs, Tools and Fools
Laura Howard didn’t plan to take down a bank robber. Any more than she meant to subvert the police investigation following the bank heist . . . Now all she wants is to reclaim her quiet life as an interior decorator in Portland, Oregon. Right on cue, that peaceful existence explodes again when local TV newsmen broadcast the photo taken of Laura during the bank robbery. Is her life now in danger? Are the hate notes and home invasions related to her heroism at the bank? ? Is she responsible for the death of a local hero? Or, is something more sinister at play? Laura Howard and her pesky cat Louise return in Book 3 of the Designer Mystery series along with building contractor Russell Graham, zany Aunt Esther, and much of the Portland Oregon Police Bureau. This time it may take all of them to separate the skunks from the scoundrels in the police lineup.
