Elsie’s First Five Cases—Five addictive small-town mysteries in one compelling box set!

When Elsie Hargrove returns to Cascade Bay after ten years of globe-trotting adventures, she expects to quietly run her restaurant and blend into small-town life. Finding herself solving murders wasn't part of the plan.

But on the opening night of her new restaurant, Elsie discovers her landlord stabbed to death in her walk-in freezer. When the prime suspect becomes her young hostess, Elsie can't stand by and watch an innocent woman take the fall.

Armed with skills picked up from Monte Carlo to the mountains of Nepal, Elsie transforms from restaurateur to private investigator, taking on cases that rock the seemingly peaceful coastal town. From jazz festival murders to fashion week fatalities, from ski resort conspiracies to tulip festival secrets, each mystery tests her growing network of allies and her budding partnership with handsome Detective Jack Goodman.

That was Fun

Elsie, the detective with unlimited skills, solves her way through five mysteries in this set. She’s more competent than the usual femme fatale, and funny as well.
