Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller Cozy
The Silver Shawl (#1)
In a small town in turn-of-the-century Colorado, a young woman has disappeared from the boarding-house where she lives. Her distraught fiancé is certain that she must have been kidnapped. But the case takes a new turn when a city detective appears on the scene, looking for a woman who matches the description of the missing girl. Was Charity really kidnapped, or did she have a reason to flee? Mrs. Meade, a gentle but shrewd widow lady who lives across the hall in the boarding-house, feels that there is something wrong with the story of Charity’s disappearance…but can she unravel the mystery before it is too late?
The Parting Glass (#2)
Mrs. Meade feels that the facts don’t add up. But why won’t the accused defend himself?
Mrs. Meade isn’t the only one in Sour Springs who is shocked when Clyde Renfrew is accused of a drunken assault on a woman. Clyde, a sober, steady young rancher, seemed the last person likely to do such a thing. Between an emphatic witness and Clyde’s puzzling reluctance to defend himself, the case seems open and shut. But Mrs. Meade—who seems to have a knack for being just across the hall when things happen—has a few ideas of her own…
The Oldest Flame (#3)
The fire wasn’t an accident. Mrs. Meade hopes it wasn’t what the sheriff thinks it is.
It was supposed to be a pleasant visit with old friends. But it turns to terror when a fire destroys the Lansburys’ house during the night, and one of their guests is killed. Even worse, the fire appears to have been deliberately set. Which of the people who were in the house that night is responsible? There are several possibilities, and Mrs. Meade is not sure which is the most distressing…
The Silent Hour (#4)
None of them have an alibi. All of them had a reason to pull the trigger.
Major Cambert and his grandson Jim had quarreled bitterly over Jim’s choice of a wife, so when the Major is found shot dead by his own fireside a few nights later, Jim is the prime suspect—and a suspect without an alibi. But there were others who may have held a grudge against the Major too: an obnoxious ex-soldier, a sullen ranch hand…and Jim’s fiancée. And none of them can account for their whereabouts during the dark hour when Major Cambert was murdered. With no other evidence to go on, Mrs. Meade will have to apply all her wits to discover who is really guilty…
Mrs. Meade and the Schoolboy Prank (#5.5)
“I do believe in coincidences, surely,” said Mrs. Meade, “but when they coincide with perfect alibis and impossible thefts I tend to doubt them."
When the Wellmans receive a letter from their son’s boarding-school informing them that Allen has been accused of stealing from a classmate, they promptly head for Denver to investigate. The situation looks bad, since almost the whole rest of the school have perfect alibis. It’s fortunate that Mrs. Wellman thought to bring along her friend Mrs. Meade to see if she can spot the solution…
