Food for thought: seasoning with these berries results in a dash of murder.

It's been a quiet autumn so far in the small town of Bradley, North Carolina. Or, as Myrtle would put it, a boring one. The slow pace and lingering post-summer heat are making life in Bradley very slow-paced, indeed.

That all changes when a local resident is poisoned by what looks like a scrumptious pie. The victim is a boorish man who has plenty of enemies in Bradley. Despite this, suspicion falls heavily on Myrtle and Miles's friend-a botanist who grows the deadly nightshade the man was poisoned with.

Can Myrtle and Miles solve the case and help their friend before the killer strikes again?All Rights Reserved

|<>| "You and I are used to dealing with mysteries that live on the page." "There are no bad guys. There are just complicated people who did bad things." "I've got enough crime fact in my life. I don't need to read about it." |<>| When crime fiction and MONK nut Alex Walker stumbles upon a missing persons case on her college campus, she is determined to prove to the police department in her small hometown of Brenker, Washington that her discoveries are legitimate. She will do whatever it takes to persuade them, including finding the victim she knows is in danger. Enter Tyler Burns - the mysterious new detective intern with no knowledge of the world that Alex and her companions live in - the world of fictional mystery. He is tall dark and handsome, but with that order comes a side of stubborn, doubtful, and inquisitive. When their worlds collide, the two are forced together to find their vanished victim, but who knows how complicated that will get. But the real question is not whether the victim is found, nor how Alex and Tyler will manage to find them without getting killed - or killing each other. The real question, the only one that matters, the one that has fueled crime fiction - one of the most successful genres in history - is really quite simple. Whodunnit? |<>|

Death at a Drop-In: Myrtle Clover #5 by ElizabethSCraig

Cosette Whitlow is a society matron...if tiny Bradley, North Carolina, has one. She kindly volunteers for all the town's charities, but isn't nearly as kind to her own family, neighbors, and friends. In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town-including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly.

Cleaning is Murder : Myrtle Clover #13 by ElizabethSCraig

When Myrtle's housekeeper is a murder suspect, she swears to Myrtle that she's squeaky clean. It's easy for fellow citizens to get on your nerves in sleepy Southern towns like Bradley, North Carolina. Particularly when one of the citizens is something of a cheapskate. Amos Subers isn't one to tip waiters, pay back a loan, or behave generously with family. When it's discovered that penny-pinching Amos was actually quite wealthy, it hardly engenders goodwill in the small town ... in fact, he's heartily disliked. Octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover's housekeeper is certainly no fan of his: Amos owes Puddin money for cleaning his house. It's not too surprising when Amos is later found, murdered, in his kitchen. Myrtle and her senior sidekick Miles resolve to track down the killer when Puddin becomes a prime suspect...and before the murderer strikes again.
