Cozy Mysteries

Eli Ramsey has a knack for solving problems – just not murders. The semi-successful private investigator is used to chasing workers’ comp fraud and philandering spouses, not navigating small-town politics at the West Sparta Chamber of Commerce. Eli’s a good chamber member, but he prefers to keep a low profile – until a young attorney with a reputation for loose lips seeks him out at a crowded networking event, urgently requesting a meeting. Red flags are everywhere: hushed whispers, curious glances, and blatant warnings to steer clear. Which only makes Eli want to know more. But before he can learn what’s so important, the attorney turns up dead.

Recruited by the chamber to help unravel the mystery, Eli is pulled into an array of personal agendas – some as out-of-touch as he is. From trading business cards with suspects to a tangled web of Pittsburgh political posturing and social maneuvering that even the community’s best gossips never saw coming, Eli must rely on instincts, charm and sheer luck to uncover the truth. With zero experience investigating murder, and an uncanny propensity for finding his way into awkward situations, Eli’s journey is as baffling as it is rewarding.
