A PARADE & A PERP: A Beach Hill Cozy Mystery • Book 1

To do: 1. check in guests
2. help your pop star BFF
3. solve a murder.

Andrea Biscotti has a lot to juggle: She’s helping pop star Madison Beech move into her newly-renovated Beach Hill estate and prepping her family’s rental cottages for the start of the summer season—just a few days before Beach Hill’s annual Memorial Day Boat Parade.

Then Andrea’s beloved cousin and cottage handyman Ricky doesn’t show up at a family birthday party, and the next morning, the body of a local art dealer is found floating in the harbor.

The prime murder suspect? Ricky.

CHOWDER & CHICANERY: A Beach Hill Cozy Mystery • Book 2

It’s June in Beach Hill, and the secret’s out: Everyone knows that superstar Madison Beech owns a house in town. Celeb-seekers and paparazzi have invaded on top of the typical summer tourists, and the town is packed. Add to that the festivities around the annual Beach Hill Chowder Fest, and there’s an electricity in the air.

Andrea Biscotti’s got her hands full managing her cottage rental business, serving as a reluctant judge for the Chowder Festival, and being friends with a mega pop star. But when a member of the paparazzi turns up dead in one of the Biscotti Realty cottages, Andrea's season is in jeopardy. As the clues mount, so does the scope of the investigation--and the results will impact everyone in Beach Hill.

Chowder and Chicanery is a fresh, funny mystery simmering with intrigue, quirky characters, and a side of oyster crackers.

It’s 4th of July weekend, and Andrea Biscotti wants nothing more than to watch fireworks with her maybe-boyfriend AJ and relax at Madison’s epic beach bash. But when the cranky head of the Beach Hill Preservation Society turns up dead, and evidence points to Didi as the primary suspect, Andrea is involved in another mystery.

A MIDWINTER MIX-UP: A Beach Hill Cozy Short Story

It’s winter in Beach Hill, and although the tourists are gone for the season, the town is still filled with drama. Realtor Andrea Biscotti is looking forward to some downtime with her dogs and attending Didi’s “Always Winter Never Christmas” party to chase away the winter blues.

When a restaurant supplier messes up her order, Didi ends up with an ugly ice sculpture packed with a stolen diamond tennis bracelet—and a load of trouble. As the thieves come looking for their loot, Andrea and Didi must capture the crooks, return the bracelet, and prep for the party of the season.
