McGuire has always been a curious soul, but it's her life that's

But now one of the town's most important citizens has been found
murdered, and everyone's life is suspect. 


What

determined to uncover the identity of the murderer. They just have to

Poppy
and her new partner Alex have their eyes opened to the realities of

Controversy
sells as much as sex, and nobody knows that better than the local
radio morning DJ who loves to talk politics. His shows enrage people,
but who hated Lee Reynolds enough to shoot him point blank and leave
him for dead in the woods outside of town?


Poppy
and Alex have no shortage of suspects and for once aren't at odds on
who they like for the crime. But all is not well between the
partners. This time, murder has brought with it a new love interest
for Poppy, but Alex isn't happy with this turn of events. 

Will
he lose Poppy, the one person he trusts in Sunset Ridge?

Poppy
and Alex are back for another mystery in Happy Hour, the fifth book

Springtime
brings warm weather and murder to Sunset Ridge, and for Poppy, this
particular case strikes close to home.

Antiques
dealer Marcus Tyne is found dead in the front seat of his friend’s
car outside of McGuire’s after a Cinco de Mayo celebration, but at
first glance, there’s no reason why he’s dead.

Until
the coroner finds out he’s been poisoned.

When
a second man is poisoned, Poppy and Alex are thrust into a mystery
that threatens to tear them apart. While they struggle to solve the
case as their differences become more apparent, a murderer walks free
in Sunset Ridge and may have another victim in their sights.

In
the middle of a late summertime heatwave, a woman Poppy interviewed
for an article on paganism is found with a dagger buried in her chest
in the woods out near Alex's house. Initially, Stephen and Craig are
given the case, but when Derek determines that this murder shouldn't
be their first big case together, Alex and Poppy are brought in to
help.


But
Stephen has never liked Poppy, and tensions quickly begin to run high
between the two sets of partners. The Sunset Ridge police force can't
afford to have infighting if they want to solve this case before a
fear of witches takes hold in town.

It
doesn't take long before everyone reaches their breaking point and
Alex wonders if he will be a Sunset Ridge police officer for much
longer. Life is about to change for him and Poppy, but will that
change mean the end of his time in town?






The
Finest Hour
Poppy
McGuire Mysteries Book 7

Join
Poppy and Alex for the final Poppy McGuire mystery!


For
three years, Poppy and Alex have worked together solving cases in
their small town of Sunset Ridge, first as just co-workers but later
as partners in nearly every sense of the word. Now they're about to
take the final step and become husband and wife, but in the midst of
getting ready for what folks around town are calling the wedding of
the year, the murder of someone involved in the preparations makes
their plans go awry. 

Samuel
Morrow, the kind man who has run Morrow's Jewelers for over twenty
years, is found murdered in an apparent break-in, and there's no
shortage of suspects who may have had a reason to kill him. Oddly
enough, something very valuable to Poppy and Alex is missing from his
store too. Is the theft connected to the murder? 

As
they hunt for Samuel's killer, carefully eliminating suspect after
suspect, they must juggle cake tastings and reception planning, as
all the while someone's watching their favorite amateur sleuth. Will
Poppy and Alex solve the case and reach the altar, or will the killer
make their ever after far less than happy?
