Mystic California Cozies series by Dovie Ruth (#1-2)
Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: Dovie Ruth was born into a family with a penchant for teaching and writing. From an early age, Dovie took solace in her pen ..even with the knowledge that her journal would be breached periodically and read aloud to the family. But nothing stopped Dovie's quill from dissecting the guarded veils of family life, the hidden stories that swam in academic fishbowls, and the nature of the universe. Fueled by the transgressive examples of Sylvia Plath, Ken Kesey, Shirley Jackson, and John Steinbeck, Dovie has inked her observations about courage, mental illness, disabilities, alternative lifestyles, the dark side of academia, and the baffling fit of traditional religions in our modern world. Dovie was also mystified by the works of Alfred Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, and of course, Carolyn Keene. Those authors, among others, have been an inspiration for her own series of dark paranormal cozy mysteries.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
1. Once Upon An Equinox
When Delaney Fox made up her mind to attend a session at The Tilted Plume Writers' Retreat in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, she had no idea how winding and treacherous the road was going to be. Eerily, none of the other students showed up. And perhaps Delaney should have stayed home, too. After all, she was five months pregnant.
Mavis Beasom, a renowned romance writer, enjoyed the life of a hermit at her glorious but isolated retreat. She was a towering and formidable woman nearing sixty, and she was certainly not one to mince words. She made no attempt to hide her black cape with the pointed hood.
Delaney wasn't interested in writing romance novels. She wanted to become a terrific author of thrillers. She had even brought along her unpublished novel in hopes of getting some advice.
Mavis soon made it clear that she was not interested in teaching her student to write. She had lured Delaney to The Tilted Plume to be the thirteenth member of her own coven for an imminent celebration of the spring equinox.
To insure Delaney's participation, Mavis locked the heavy front cattle gate to her wilderness property. She also refused access to her landline, which was the only means of communication with the outside world. Can Delaney outwit the witches?
2. The Murder of Miss Toadvine
When quirky Eunice Toadvine is found dead in a desolate Central California oil town, a young autistic man is suspected of the spinster's murder. Mary Carol Satterlee, who is home from college, doesn't believe the accusation for a minute.
Everybody in Roughneck, California knew that Eunice had been flirting with danger for years. Just weeks before her death, she'd placed an advertisement in the local newspaper for a witch to cast spells. Sergeant Rodney Gullett isn't of a mind to listen to Mary Carol's arguments in defense of the accused young man. The officer just wants a quick and dirty trial. After all, there are so many young ladies to chase in Roughneck. Including Mary Carol.
