A fun cozy mystery series starts with newcomer Michael as the main murder suspect.
"This was such a funny cozy! Michael, Ellie and Olivia have the greatest sense of humor and the offbeat jokes and one liners are too much! The bad guys were just everywhere and one was going after the other, it was crazy! Lots of fun and I recommend reading this one."
Michael West's new life in Lana Cove seems perfect, except for one little detail: He's the prime suspect in a murder investigation.
He just purchased an amazing home facing the ocean in a small North Carolina town, and has finally won over the hearts of the locals. He befriended a beautiful woman named Ellie and her best friend Olivia, owners of the Bitter Sweet Café. And he is finally living his dream, writing his first mystery novel. His past life, his loveless marriage, his backbreaking corporate job, is now a distant memory. What could possibly go wrong?

A body is found in Michael's backyard, and suddenly he's the main suspect. His life is turned upside down. He left Boston to get away from the madness. Just as things begin to work themselves out, there's another murder with all the clues leading back to Michael. His life is in chaos, the locals are turning against him, he's a murder suspect, and now, he may lose the house of his dreams.
