Frost Peak Cozy Mysteries

A novice witch, a polar bear familiar, and a murder under the Northern Lights. Ever since I was little, unusual things have happened around me. But nothing quite as strange as a wild polar bear coming to my rescue and telling me I'm a witch. Even though I grew up a California girl, the unexplored tundra of the Great North has called to me since childhood. On her visits, my grandmother would tell me stories of magical creatures and great battles fought in the vast cold. A place that is all white on the surface, but underneath is as awash with secrets as colorful as the night sky. When my grandmother passed away, my grandfather asked me to come North to help him run their general store. Since my fiancé recently ditched me, I looked forward to the change of scenery. Besides, I couldn't wait to experience the magic of my ancestral birthplace myself. Unfortunately, the welcome I receive from the people of Frost Peak is as icy as the town's name implies. And when a local man is killed right outside my back door, everyone becomes suspicious I'm the murderer. Eager to clear my name, I do my best to find out who the killer could be. Along the way, I discover not only is there magic in the North, there's also magic inside me! Now if I can only harness my powers and find the killer before Sheriff Brodie puts me in a jail cell.

The last thing the people in the small town of Frost Peak want is the kind of "progress" that Mickey Grimes and his real estate conglomerate is pushing. So, when he's found murdered out on the frozen tundra, the list of suspects seems endless. That is, until the sheriff learns that Frankie's cousin Kaia threatened to kill the developer after he injured her sled dog with his car. And when it's determined that Grimes himself was run over by a vehicle, Kaia finds herself in big trouble. But Frankie knows her cousin is innocent, and to clear Kaia's name, she will rely on her newfound magical skills and the help of her polar bear familiar Ragnar to discover the truth. Since Sheriff Brodie's investigation is heading down the wrong path, it's up to Frankie to save her cousin and find the murderer herself. However, she's in for the fight of her life when the person who has secretly been fleecing the town of Frost Peak sets their sights on her.

Everyone knows that Frankie's best friend Nina is boy crazy, but now they think she's a killer as well. After spending the night in the village with Frankie's cousin Kaia, Nina comes home to find one of her ex-boyfriends dead in her bed. When Nina enlists Frankie's help to find the real killer, they run into a dead end. And since the sheriff and Frankie's relationship is on ice, he remains tight-lipped about the crime. Leaving Frankie and Nina no choice but to rely on the help of Frankie's wacky roommate and a pair of polar bears to track down the murderer. But the killer went to a lot of trouble to frame Nina and the guilty party isn't going down without a fight. It will take all of Frankie's skills, a little magic, and some unexpected new friends for Frankie to solve the murder and finally find what she's been looking for all along.
