"Every woman who's ever struggled with saying no, fitting in, and balancing independence against loneliness will adore first-timer Emily." - Kirkus Reviews
Dead Dancing Women
Following an ugly divorce and the death of her father, Emily Kincaid decides what she needs most is peace and quiet and time to think, so the part-time journalist and full-time struggling mystery writer relocates to a remote house in the woods of northern Michigan. When a severed head shows up in her garbage can, Emily knows she's been singled out, and suddenly her peaceful solitude feels a lot like isolation and vulnerability.
Knowing she'll have to root out a killer to save her peaceful paradise, Emily teams up with the cantankerous Deputy Dolly and begins navigating between eccentric town gossips and reclusive neighbors who would rather be left alone. When the killer gets too close for comfort, Emily knows she'll have to put aside her fears before the natural life she's chosen comes to a grisly and very unnatural end.
Dead Floating Lovers
With a murderer behind bars, Emily Kincaid is finally settling into what she hopes will be a peaceful new home in the remote woods of northern Michigan and a burgeoning career as a mystery writer. Until foul-weather friend Deputy Dolly Wakowski shows up on her doorstep with frantic tales of a dead body and demands her help. The receding waters of a local lake have revealed a bullet-pierced skull and a keepsake, and both could belong to a man Dolly once loved - and lost.
As Emily reluctantly agrees to help, another set of bones surface - this time of an Odawa Indian girl. It's not long before Emily finds herself wading through Dolly's painful past and digging into the town's dark history. When the connection between the two victims points to an ugly truth that threatens to unravel Dolly's world, Emily vows to sort through the clues and find a killer, even if it breaks Dolly's heart - or costs them both their lives.
"A mystery that keeps you guessing, together with the story of a woman slowly finding her voice" - Kirkus Reviews
Dead Sleeping Shaman
The End Timers, a cult-like group, have descended on part-time journalist and aspiring mystery author Emily Kincaid's small Michigan town. With dire warnings that the end of the world is just two weeks away, the entire community has been disrupted by psychics, cult followers, believers and disbelievers alike. But when Emily's latest job assignment leads her to an eerily motionless woman propped against a tree, she realizes that at least one person's world has come to an end all too soon.
Turning to her friend Deputy Dolly Wakowski for help, she's stunned to learn that Dolly has turned in her badge and joined the cult, leaving Emily to fear for her friend's sanity and forcing her to try to solve the case on her own. As the days tick away to the end of the world, Emily has to navigate her way through a crowd of true believers, a group of shamanic well-wishers, and a suspiciously secretive cult leader to rescue her friend and catch a killer.
"Buzzelli's well-crafted third Emily Kincaid . . . [features] sharp prose and spirited characterizations." - Publishers Weekly
