Junkyard Dog Cozy Mysteries

Newly widowed, Macy Garson is doing her best to live a simple and secure life that her beloved Jake would have been proud of. She loves her volunteer work at the Happy Paws dog sanctuary, but if she doesn't find a way to make money, and fast, she may not be able to keep up with her mortgage payments in a month or so. Inspired by a bit of success when she sells some household items, Macy opens an online store and dives into the reselling business. She finds items at garage sales, cleans them up, and puts them in her store, with surprising success. Her situation improves by leaps and bounds until a woman is murdered and local police focus on Macy, a relative newcomer in their small central Florida town, as the culprit. When she discovers mysterious items in a jewelry box that seem to relate to the murder, Macy chases down the obscure clues, which catapults her into some very sticky situations. Scared, uncertain, feeling more alone than ever, and not knowing who to trust, Macy is determined to prove her innocence and get on with her life. Can she crack the case and solve the crime before she's the killer's next target?

The dog days of summer... Can be murder. Thrifting reseller and amateur sleuth, Macy Garson, has her hands full with finding items to sell in her online store and volunteering at the Happy Paws animal shelter. While she's still lonely after the loss of her beloved husband, Macy is trying her best to make friends and fit in with the locals in the small Florida town that is now her home, but so far, aside from her animal shelter buddies, she's not having much luck. Life is becoming more routine as she figures out how to exist as a new widow, but it gets turned upside down when she makes a horrifying discovery while walking one of the shelter dogs. Local law enforcement seems to be gunning for Macy, a newcomer, and she finds herself in a sticky situation. In order to clear her name and save her already shaky reputation, Macy is forced to investigate a murder. Will her eye for a specific type of detail give her the advantage that will rescue her standing in town?

Sometimes when you're safely afloat... Someone pulls the plug. Garage sale reseller and reluctant amateur sleuth, Macy Garson, is up to her elbows in bath water. The Happy Paws shelter where she volunteers is in desperate need of funds and they're conducting a dog washing fundraiser. When a pipe bursts in her bathroom, flooding most of the house, Macy has to get creative in order to figure out how to pay for the damage. And, as if her flood of bad luck isn't enough, her coworker's neighbor goes missing, under some very mysterious circumstances. Fighting for the financial survival of both her house and the shelter, Macy has to make room to investigate when the police look at her coworker, Polly, as a suspect. Feeling as though she's being bombarded from every direction, Macy is determined to do whatever it takes to save the shelter, restore her home, and save Polly from taking the fall for something that she didn't do. Can she crack the case, or will she drown in tasks and trouble?

When life goes to the dogs... Macy has a bone to pick. Garage sale reseller and amateur sleuth, Macy Garson, has had a rough patch. When her late husband's classic truck breaks down, she seriously wonders if she can survive without him. A feud with her next-door neighbor over a misunderstanding grows even frostier when he invites her to a barbeque, and she politely declines. Just when Macy thinks that things can't get much worse, a body is discovered near the pond behind Happy Paws, the dog shelter where she volunteers. Police eye all of the shelter employees as possible suspects, but their focus turns to Buzz, the shelter's irascible maintenance man, when it's discovered that he has ties to the victim. Can Macy run her business, deal with all of her own drama, and solve the case in time to exonerate the mysterious man whom none of the shelter volunteers know very well?
