The Game is Murder

Eight suspects. Eight detectives. One body. A murder party that’s no longer a game.

Bookseller Keera Munroe is dreading playing in a murder mystery evening with an ultra competitive local group as the other players take strategy games way too seriously and are out to win at all costs.

What she’s not expecting is when the corpse turns out to be real.

How is it possible someone got killed without any of the clever players seeing a thing? Will Keera be forced to accept this killer is too many moves ahead and will get away with murder?

Who Shot Jackson Brodie?

An unsolved cold case. An impossible crime.
A village full of secrets

When an ex-police officer-turned-author asks for support for his true-crime memoir, Keera Munroe hopes it will bring much needed sales to her little bookshop business.

But some locals are horrified when they learn Mitch Ravenscroft’s biography features an unsolved murder in their own idyllic village.
Keera’s crime-fiction bookgroup seizes the chance to solve a real-life crime. But soon it’s clear someone will stop at nothing to prevent the truth being exposed.

Why were a couple shot dead on the first night they moved to Crossways?

Once again Keera asks herself if it isn’t true that the loveliest places hide the darkest secrets as she’s plunged right in the heart of uncovering truths

Little Bookshop of Murders

One burnt-out lawyer. One shiny new bookshop. One dead customer.

Former lawyer Keera Munroe wants to put her past behind her with nothing more challenging than selling enough books to pay the bills. But when Keera opens a bookshop in idyllic Crossways, there’s a lot she cannot leave behind, like the fact she’s hard-wired to seek out truth and justice. Or her nose for trouble—which is telling her that village life is not quite as lovely as it appears. Right about the time the first body turns up.
