1. A Dickens of a Crime
Meg Miller discovers a dead body in Darrow House just a few hours before the annual homes tour. It could be someone she knows. Of course, she’s a suspect. She’s the only other person in the house. But, why would a retired librarian, community volunteer, and widow strangle a prominent socialite?
Detective Penny Crawford intends to get to the bottom of the crime, even if she has to interview Meg several times. Meg doesn’t mind. She’s willing to do surveillance, bake a batch of cranberry scones, or hide in a closet to help solve the murder. However, there’s a bigger menace to the community, and Meg suspects it’s centered in the mega-church at the edge of town. Will she be jailed as the murderer, hailed as the hero, or captured by the evil members of an organized crime ring?
2. Pelican Beach Murder
Jealousies and a body wash ashore during a summer retreat on the beach. Meg and Tom Richards negotiate a house trade for the summer. She will get a beach cottage on Galveston Island facing the Gulf of Mexico, and Tom will house sit for her while he wraps up the Hillard case from A Dickens of a Crime. What begins as a relaxing get away, becomes more complicated as Meg meets a family of locals with a troubled past. Her closest temporary neighbor, Echo Charles is quirky and mysterious and, Meg decides, irritating.
Although Meg enjoys a visit from her best friend, Jean, and their outings on the island, she is distracted by her thoughts about her own mother’s past, a history Meg knows nothing about. As she anticipates the birth of her first grandchild, she mourns the absence of her own maternal grandmother. She wants to make memories for Dorie’s and Michael’s child, but she realizes she’s missed half of her own heritage and will have nothing to pass on from her mother’s side of the family.
The relationships she discovers during her beach stay remind her of the dysfunction and exploitation of the Hillard twins in her own hometown. The personalities and their consequences strike a familiar chord for Meg and she’s alert to every nuance in her conversations with the locals. It will be her ability to form relationships and follow her intuition that will help Meg flesh out the murderer, and again, it will disappoint her to know the consequences of neglected relationships.
