In these three mysteries set in a Pacific Northwest seaside town, a bookshop owner gets an extra dose of drama moonlighting as a private eye. Dead Matter When celebrated author Ravin Gould is murdered in Holliday Beach, the obvious suspect is Cady MacGill, who just so happens to be the sheriff’s son-in-law. Everyone, including Gould’s famous actress wife, heard Cady threaten the writer in the Holliday Beach Bookshop. But bookstore owner and PI Conan Flagg isn’t convinced. Not with an election for sheriff coming up. Not when a flock of publishing executives have descended on Holliday Beach, lured by the tell-all memoir that Gould just finished. Not when said book just vanished without a trace . . . Wake Up, Darlin’ Corey It seemed to Conan Flagg that the police were asking too few questions about the fatal automobile accident that killed his good friend Corey Benbow—especially since it’s common knowledge in Holliday Beach that more than one person stands to gain from her death. Now Flagg is asking questions of his own—like who had motive and opportunity to commit murder. King of the Mountain When conservative millionaire A. C. King hosts his annual house party at his mountain lodge, the air is tense with the presence of his beautiful second wife, the animosities of his two older sons, and the tippling of his flower-child daughter-in-law. But it is the unwelcome arrival of his youngest son, Lucas, with a new fiancée in tow, that is the true kiss of death. Even PI Conan Flagg, an old family friend, doesn’t foresee the sudden tragedy that leaves the party vulnerable to a cunning killer. As a blizzard seals their isolation, Conan attempts to identify the murderer among them before tragedy strikes again . . .
