Postmarked for Peril: A Claryce Falls Mystery Book 1
Mystery, Mayhem, & Mail
As the new postmaster of Claryce Falls, Maya Ridgeway expected friendly neighbors, local gossip, and morning mountain walks with her dog, Clover—not a dead body in the woods, cryptic threats, and poachers stirring up trouble. To make matters worse, the retired postmaster, Burt, won’t stop showing up with advice, Maya’s dragged into the town’s litter war, and the too-handsome forest ranger keeps turning up at the worst possible moments.
When a friend starts receiving threats demanding she leave town, Maya reluctantly teams up with Burt to investigate. Armed with terrible disguises, a getaway minivan, and an unfortunate amount of goat cheese, Maya and her misfit crew of amateur sleuths stumble through stakeouts and close calls to help save the town they love.
A laugh-out-loud small-town mystery packed with quirky characters, a dash of romance, and plenty of canine charm, this page-turning cozy mystery series is perfect for fans of amateur sleuths and humorous whodunits.
For readers who love their mysteries filled with dogs, baked goods, and more twists than a trail full of switchbacks.

This book punches all the right buttons for an engaging cozy mystery: a funny immensely likeable protagonist, quirky small town full of memorable characters, a little romance, and a lot of mystery. Follow part time postmistress, part time designer, full time sleuth, Maya Ridgeway, on her misadventures that include murder, mayhem, illegal dumping, performance art, and goat cheese in an artsy community in the Pacific Northwest.
Very fun and I laughed out loud more than once. I had a great time reading this and look forward to future installments!
