Book excerpt: If you’re looking for a humorous historical small-town cozy who-done-it series featuring a smart and sassy amateur woman sleuth, you’ve come to the right place! Can a forward-thinking woman help the police solve a murder in a backward-thinking town? California, 1903: Smart, inquisitive, and a firm believer in the new progressive reforms, Adele Gossling seeks a new life after the devastating death of her father. She flees San Francisco for the small town of Arrojo, planning a life of peace and small pleasures with nothing more exciting than selling fountain pens to the locals in her stationery shop and partaking in the town’s favorite pastime: gossip. Peace is exactly what she doesn’t get when she discovers her neighbor’s dead body in her gazebo. The police think they have a firm suspect: the young man who was secretly engaged to the victim. But Adele and her clairvoyant new friend Nin Branch suspect he’s innocent. In spite of the raised eyebrows from Arrojo’s Victorian-minded citizens, they set out to prove the young man didn’t do it. But if he didn’t, who did? Can Adele and Nin solve this puzzling case involving a striped carnation, a diamond ring, a note, a muddy pair of boots, and a broken promise? If you love historical mysteries, comfy cozies, amateur detectives, female sleuths, small-town mysteries, humorous whodunits, and early 20th-century fiction set in America, you’ll love this series! Fans of Lee Strauss, Rosie Hunt, Sonia Parin, and R. A. Wallace will love these books too! Pick up your copy of The Carnation Murder for a fun, absorbing mystery set in Northern California at the turn of the 20th century. What early reviewers are saying: "Really well paced and researched appropriately for the era.” "The story comes alive.” "Great new series, the time period details are interesting and the mystery intriguing." ~~~ Don't forget to check out the other books in the Adele Gossling Mysteries!
