Are you into complicated police procedures or detailed forensic evidence? If so, my book’s NOT for you! However, if you enjoy solving simple, short and cozy-type mysteries, my book might be your cup of tea! Speaking of tea, read “Clues in a Teacup.” Three of the thirty-five mysteries in this book happened to people in my family. I share which ones at the end of the book, plus the solution to each mystery. Romance is clearly in the air in “Goosebumps & A Gift Basket,” “Mystery Lane,” “Sleepwalking Intern,” and “Memories in a Guestroom.” Do you enjoy easy recipes? Check out “Undercover at Innisfree.” In “Pink or Blue Secrets” a mother-to-be plans on reading the results of her ultrasound test at her baby shower. In “Till Theft Do Us Part” a bride learns wedding boutiques will stop at nothing! Would you enjoy having your hair done at the new salon “Curl Up and Dye?” What happens when a lawyer visits the library and sees a ghost? You’ll find the answer in “Ghost in the Library.” A fun read for a cozy afternoon! How many can you solve?

We learn that years earlier Margaret's own wedding was halted just as her father was to walk her down the aisle. Why did she never marry the man she loved so much and tenderly nicknamed, her huckleberry friend? We meet Ivory, the young helper Margaret hires to work in her shop. Ivory dreams of becoming a writer but spends much of her time caring for her sister, Jade. What has happened to the bride, Raven Moore? Why did she call off her wedding one week before it was scheduled? Why is her car parked at Foggy Grove Inlet near the Sweetheart Tree and why is her name carved into this tree with a question mark?
