Mrs. Avery's Adventures

A pink slip, a birthday card, new neighbors...Piper Avery thought her week was bad-then she found the body on the beach! Piper had no intentions of getting involved, but undercover cop Joel Stevenson, inadvertently challenged her. And, well, she had no choice, did she? Piper and the spaniel Daisy, a surprise birthday gift and a bit of a diva, begin to investigate and are soon caught up in more than they are prepared for. Joining forces with Joel and his K-9 partner, Scout, they work to solve the murder-before Piper becomes the next victim. And while Piper is looking for the murderer, she is also adjusting to her mother and mother-in-law as neighbors while getting her photography gallery ready to open. It might turn out to be more of an adventure than Piper is prepared for.

The postman is delivering more than the mail, and Lily Strauss is dead as a result! Piper Avery and her dog, Daisy find the body of her neighbor and start asking questions. Piper wants to clear Lily's husband, David, from murder charges. But things aren't adding up. Piper's discovery has her asking police consultant, Joel Stevens and his K9 partner, Scout, for help. Working together, Piper and Joel find that Lily's craft shipments are more than they seem. And everyone seems to be looking for one shipment in particular. Who will find it first? Piper or the killer?

Pelican Harbor is starting to look festive with Halloween displays, but Piper Avery and her dog Daisy have stumbled onto a gruesome discovery; a dead body that has nothing to do with holiday decorations. Piper has arrived for her meeting with Samual Weston to discuss adding his wood carvings to the gallery when she finds the body in his office. Sitting in the chair by the body is Samual's ventriloquist dummy; a gruel note pinned to it. But this isn't the only discovery Piper makes. Her youngest son is also staying at the house- and he is romanticly involved with the granddaughter. Plus Joel is also there, hired by Samual for investigative reasons. Now Piper and Joel work must together to find the murderer before her son is blamed or worse, another murder happens.
