#7 Framed for Murder
Harmony’s hoarder is discovered at the bottom of his basement stairs with a key clutched in his dead hand! Norman Schott is at risk of his home being condemned. The residents of Harmony quickly make plans to help the hoarder clean and repair his house. They hope to save Norman from being homeless. But on the first wintery morning of the cleanup, finding his body changes all that! The good-hearted townsfolk soon discover things are missing, including whatever that key was meant to open. Searches for family to claim the property and pay back taxes reveal cryptic correspondence suggesting things were not as they appeared to be. A stranger arrives proclaiming herself a long-lost relative. But is she? Stories of Norman’s past begin swirling around the village and Jackie’s curiosity antenna goes on high alert. What happened in the house on Lilac Lane that cold winter night when Norman fell down the basement stairs?
#8Digital Deception
Hollywood has arrived in Harmony and trouble lands right in the middle of the movie being filmed! Harmony has never seen anything like this! Townspeople, excited to see their faces on the big screen, line up for parts as extras. The shops on Main Street are magically transformed into a past era. A welcome party at the Stone Mill Brewery is the start of trouble and by the end of the evening, one of the crew has been shot. The only known gun among the cast and crew belongs to the director, Jackie’s niece. Much as Jackie wants to stay out of yet another murder investigation, she must help Alli. Learning that drama isn’t only for the big screen and that deception comes in many forms, Jackie's eyes are opened to the havoc that greed, envy, and love can wreak. What is real? What is the truth? And who committed the murder?
#9 A Developing Attraction
Is it too late to right the wrongs of the past? Or will old grudges and twisted grievances lead to murder in Harmony? Jackie and her friends are excited to learn their old high school buddy is going to be building a second home in Harmony. But a worker's injury on the construction site complicates things, fingers of blame point in different directions. When his young wife arrives, she leans on Scott Drake, Jackie's boyfriend, to help deal with her husband's murder. Suspicions of a growing attraction between the beautiful widow and Scott leave Jackie confused and hurt. Old hurts and past wrongs bubble to the surface as the police chief's investigation narrows the list of suspects. Does the motive lie buried in the past or is it right in front of him? Chief Jeff accepts Jackie's help, cautioning her against letting personal feelings cloud her thinking. But can she?
Reader reviews of Parker Photography mysteries...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐�� "Almost like Agatha Christy, the "who's guilty" keeps changing up to the very last. Great descriptions of the areas make the reader really see the beautiful land and buildings. The characters are developed and their interplay is perfect."
⭐️⭐️⭐️��️⭐️ "I hope it goes on forever...great murder mystery with some romance thrown in. I love that they are on Kindle Unlimited so I can easily move from one to the other."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I really enjoyed this book, very refreshing wonderful line and a surprise ending of course made it more fun. I can't wait to read the next book."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Ms. Bolden has written another complex cozy mystery that kept me on my toes as I read. I enjoy having a mature female sleuth who is smart, capable and works with the local police to uncover the truth. With a few deft twists, a couple of red herrings that I followed until I realized that those clues just didn't fit, and characters that I like and find relatable, my attention was captured by the story from the first page until I reached the end."
