Larceny on the Lake

When Scarlett Chase receives an offer to work a temp job in order to pay her way on a vacation, she jumps at the opportunity. She’ll get to spend an entire week enjoying sunshine and the blue water of a beautiful lake on a luxurious houseboat with some of her closest friends. What could be better?

Even though the boat is anchored in a remote location, items start to go missing, and it appears a thief is on board.

When Scarlett finds a stranger’s body on a nearby shore, she doesn’t suspect it’s related to the thefts. It doesn’t take long for her to figure out it was murder. When she discovers that nearly everyone on board the houseboat has a motive, she can’t help but investigate.

Is there a murderer as well as a thief amongst Scarlett’s vacationing friends? Can she stop the killer before anyone else is attacked?

Cursed in the Cornfield

Autumn has arrived, and Scarlett Chase is working a temp job at a local pumpkin farm where guests can enjoy a corn maze, pony rides, yummy fall treats, and many other attractions. Nothing could be more wholesome.

But not everything is as ideal on the farm as it might seem. Scarlett learns that it is struggling financially and on the brink of shutting down. Aggressive property developers are hounding the owners, trying to convince them to sell. When one of the developers ends up dead in the goat pen, Scarlett immediately suspects foul play. No one at the pumpkin farm liked the victim, but would any of them resort to murder?
Scarlett stumbles across even more mysteries at the pumpkin farm, including the spooky appearance of a witch, the disappearance of a rare vintage costume, and several customers becoming violently ill.
Are any of these mysteries related to the murder? Scarlett tries to figure it all out, but will she solve the crimes before she - or anyone else - becomes the next victim?

Crisis at the Christmas Party

Scarlett Chase is loving her latest temp job at a local children’s charity during the most magical time of the year. The office is bustling as workers help to provide Christmas gifts for needy children. The charity workers are also preparing for their big fundraising gala, which will raise the money needed to run all of their programs for the upcoming year.

Scarlett can’t think of anything better than bringing Christmas joy to children, but when one of her clients turns out to be the ex-girlfriend of her boyfriend, Austin Howard, the job becomes a bit awkward. Scarlett struggles to be supportive and understanding as Austin grows more and more concerned about his ex and the difficult family situation she is experiencing.

Things go from bad to worse when Santa Claus is found murdered in the middle of the fundraising gala, ruining the evening and threatening the survival of the charity.

The police hone in on Austin’s ex-girlfriend as their number one suspect, but Scarlett isn’t sure they’ve found the right culprit. Her feelings about the woman are complicated, and she is tempted to let the police handle this mystery. But pleas from Austin and her insatiable curiosity won’t let her sit idly by without poking around in search of some answers.

Christmas is coming, and Scarlett won’t rest until she has solved the crime and saved the charity.

Murder - unlike her job - isn’t temporary.
