Thrift shop til someone drops...
The Vintage Vendetta
When she receives a strange invitation to her aunt’s midnight funeral in the cozy Minnesota town of Pine Grove, Jessica Braun’s life is going nowhere. Her marriage is over, and her dead-end job has run out of road.
Now she’s inheriting an old log house full of collected treasures and memories, and learns Aunt Daphne’s death was no accident. To make matters worse, Jess is the hopeless deputy’s prime suspect. After a second old-timer is silenced and a third may be in danger, she dives into her own investigation and the town’s worn-out secrets.
With the help of her salvaged cat and mystery-obsessed teen neighbor, Jess is determined to catch the killer and turn her cluttered garage into the Pine Grove Thrift Store.
Can Jess uncover the truth, and clean up her aunt’s mess, before it’s too late?
An Antique Alibi
Welcome to Pine Grove. Where Minnesota nice is just a suggestion, and the sheriff is a real dog.
Turning her garage into a thrift store was a lake-side picnic compared to having her mother come to visit. And when the scandalously young boyfriend she brought with her disappears, Jessica Braun has her work cut out for her.
With the help of the canine sheriff and her new friends in town, Jess will have to think fast to keep her mother from taking the blame for the body that turns up.
And as if a mother and a murder aren’t enough, her shop faces competition from the antique store that’s just opened in Pine Grove—and the owner is already on Jessica’s bad side.
Will she be able to prove her mother’s innocence and make sure her store survives the challenge?
The Kitsch Killer
A mysterious mansion, an island lost in the fog… And a wedding filled with recycled decor.
Jessica Braun is leaving her thrift store in her teen neighbor’s care and heading to Lake Superior for the weekend. Even a trip down memory lane with her ex-husband can’t ruin this Fourth of July.
Until tragedy strikes the happy couple, and the bridge is closed—trapping Jess and the other guests on the island with a murderer.
How will Jess work through the clues, and her past, before the coming storm?
