Death in the Vineyard Mysteries; love, lust, and loot in the affluent Okanagan wine region

Isla Mujeres Mysteries; sun, sand, and tequila with a twist of murder and a dash of revenge.

The quirky cast of characters, plus Sparky the multi-breed rescue pooch, scramble to solve the mysteries and catch the bad guys.

Sparky is an island beach-mutt who invited himself into our lives in 2013. He walked into our house one evening at dinner time, and never left. He has curly terrier fur covering pink and black polka-dotted skin and long silky Spaniel ears. His front paws are larger than his back ones and his sense of smell is extraordinary.

I have a very diverse, some might say eccentric, work history that frequently sneaks into the backstory of my main characters. I have been a bank clerk, antique store owner, ambulance attendant, volunteer firefighter, supervisor of a cutting-edge transit control center, partner in a Canadian micro-brewery, partner in an awarding winning bed and breakfast, and a hotel manager.

Come join the adventure,
Cheers Lynda and Sparky

Confession time! I wrote it, so of course I love it. Love, lust, and loot in the affluent world of wine and wineries in the Okanagan Valley, BC Canada. Cheers Lynda and Sparky

I met Lynda L. Lock in Penticton BC at a market. There were a few of her books on her vendor table and I said I would consider buying a book of hers if the font was the correct size for my eyes. Opened the book Corked and bought 3 books. She is a local writer and I see on Goodreads that she has written 26 books. I look forward to reading other book's. as Lynda kept me interested and wanting to se what happens next. Regardless of noted wrong words making some sentences annoying, and most books seeming to have minor editing issues. Interesting story and I'll see what #2 has to offer.
Happy to be Turning Pages!

Another fun beach read by Lynda Lock. This time set in what sounds like a great vacation destination in Canada - though not in the winter. Wineries and lakes replaces beaches and margaritas as Jessica and our hero Sparky move to British Colombia at the start of the pandemic. Once again, her instincts and his nose help to solve a murder mystery, and she stays in touch with her pals on Isla Mujeres, so we can wean off the island gradually

"I just finished reading Corked. Really enjoyed it! Especially going down memory lane in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, and Covid outbreak. The characters were great, and reading about Penticton, can't wait to see visit there someday." The book flows well, the characters are well developed, and easy to get to know. Highly recommend if you are looking for an easy, engaging book.
