Book One
Penelope Paxton lives a quiet life in the quaint town of Willow Creek, Ohio, where scandals are few and far between. With her loyal Poodle, Radar, by her side and a never-ending stack of cozy mysteries on her nightstand, Penelope finds solace in fictional crimes and amateur sleuths. But when her best friend’s beloved bookstore goes up in flames Penelope’s peaceful world is suddenly turned upside down.
When rumors and suspicion fall on Evie Everett, the bookstore’s owner—and Penelope’s closest friend, Penelope steps out from behind the pages of her favorite whodunits and into a real-life mystery filled with hidden motives, local gossip, and long-buried secrets. But with everyone in Willow Creek seeming to have something to hide, Penelope will need more than her wits to uncover the truth.
Can a cozy mystery addict solve a real crime before her best friend is lost to scandal? Or will this be the one story where the heroine doesn’t make it to the final chapter?

BOOK TWO
Welcome to Willow Creek, where bingo is serious business, gossip travels faster than the morning coffee rush, and everybody knows everybody else’s secrets… or thinks they do.
Penelope Paxton has always preferred whodunits between the covers of a book. Quiet days spent blogging, reading cozy mysteries, and relaxing with her loyal service dog, Radar, are excitement enough for her. But when a Friday night bingo fundraiser is shattered by a volunteer’s sudden collapse and a string of impossibly lucky wins, Penelope’s peaceful routine is daubed with suspicion.
The more questions she asks, the more Willow Creek’s picture-perfect charm begins to crack. Whispers grow louder, friendships become tangled in secrets, and clues seem to vanish as quickly as they appear. With Radar by her side and her best friend Evie never far behind, Penelope soon discovers that someone has been manipulating far more than bingo balls.
In a town where everyone knows everyone, secrets are supposed to be impossible to keep.
But when a lucky streak turns deadly, can Penelope uncover the truth before the person behind the deception buries the truth for good?
