It all begins here
Secrets, Strays & Clues
A Dickens & Christie prequel
A trail of cracker crumbs. An empty house hiding secrets. A mystery that tugs at Leta Parker’s heart.
Long before Leta Parker moved to the English village of Astonbury with her talking pets, Dickens and Christie, she lived in Atlanta with her husband, Henry.
Life was filled with corporate deadlines, porch evenings, cycling adventures, and good neighbors.
So when the neighbor next door leaves town and strange signs begin appearing inside the empty house, Leta can’t help but investigate. With Dickens sniffing out clues and Christie offering her sassy opinions, what begins as a simple question about crumbs in the kitchen soon leads Leta to a discovery that changes far more than she expected.
Warm, witty, and brimming with animal charm, Secrets, Strays & Clues is a heartfelt prequel novella to the beloved Dickens & Christie cozy mystery series.
Duplicates, Documents & Deceit Coming Soon!
A Prentiss & Parker companion
A rare manuscript, a too-perfect duplicate, and one very observant newlywed couple.
Fresh home from their honeymoon, Leta Parker and Dave Prentiss are looking forward to settling into married life when an unusual request from their friend Gilbert Ward sends them to London’s famed Charing Cross Road.
What begins as a favor quickly becomes a perplexing puzzle when Leta and Dave discover that a document tied to the legendary Detection Club isn’t quite right. The more closely they look, the more certain they become that someone would prefer the matter left alone.
As Leta and Dave untangle the mystery, they learn that in the world of rare books and literary history, even the smallest clue can matter. Fortunately, Dickens and Christie—their perceptive pets—are more than willing to lend their investigative talents.
If you enjoy clever clues, charming British settings, bookish intrigue, and sleuthing couples with a little life experience, then you’ll love joining Leta and Dave for this warm and witty cozy mystery adventure.
