Volume 1
Cozy Mystery One: The Mysterious Bag – A Kristen Carter Mystery!
Kristen Carter, is a plain Quaker woman in her thirties who finds herself “thrown upon the world penniless and all but friendless” in 1920’s London. With no way to earn a living, she decides to try her luck as a detective–which has the unfortunate effect of cutting her off from her friends and original position in society. In this story: Craigen Court is burgled, Lady Cathrow’s jewels stolen, and her French maid is suspected of having a hand in the job. Is there a connection between the theft and a bag whose contents include clerical trappings and a suicide note found on a doorstep not far away? Written by Tory Hageman.
Cozy Mystery Two: Murder at Bridge
A mystery written by acclaimed mystery author, Anne Austin.
