Victoria Square Mystery

Katie Bonner loses her lunch—literally—when her social media account serves up a shocking announcement. Her boyfriend Andy Rust's attractive assistant manager, Erikka Wiley, is bragging that she's pregnant, and apparently with Andy's child. Erikka's made it clear that she wants Katie and Andy to break up, flaunting her condition and telling everyone in Victoria Square who'll listen about her plans for the future. When Erikka turns up dead, the Sheriff's top murder investigator turns up the heat on Katie and Andy, certain that one of them is to blame for the death.

It's all fun and games when Katie Bonner and her friends play poker for chocolate-covered peanuts, but the very next day Jamie Seifert collapses and dies after visiting Katie's tearoom on Victoria Square. Katie's business is on the line and she needs to prove Jamie wasn't poisoned at Tealicious. Her first order of business is to locate the mysterious woman he was dining with, and her next step is to go undercover at a nearby poker club where Jamie won big just a week before.

Things go awry for Katie Bonner when her former mother-in-law, Margo, throws a housewarming party at her lakeside rental and one of her guests ends up dead. Maxwell Preston was a devoted husband—and a not-so-great dad. He was a beloved pharmacist who didn’t take care of his ramshackle property, which is destined to be a hot commodity on Victoria Square when his heir puts it up for sale. But most of all, Preston was a stranger to the others who attended the party. So, who killed Maxwell Preston, and why? That’s what Katie wants to know—and she’s willing to risk everything to find out.
