A Double Date with Danger
(2021)An omnibus of novels by Kimberly Rose Johnson, Amy K Rognlie and Angela Ruth Strong
Three beloved authors offer uplifting stories of mystery and romance in these six books.
The Sleuth’s Miscalculation by Kimberly Rose Johnson
Librarian Nancy Daley loves a good mystery and enjoys moonlighting as a consultant for the sheriff’s department. Sheriff Deputy Carter Malone expects Tipton, Oregon to be a sleepy small-town, but he miscalculated. When the minor case they are working morphs into something more, things quickly go from harmless to scary. Can these two strong-willed sleuths solve the mystery before it’s too late, and more importantly, what will they do about their growing attraction?
The Sleuth’s Dilemma by Kimberly Rose Johnson
Anna loves her job as a high school English teacher until everything goes sideways. The one bright spot in her life is Titus Gains, the school counselor, who is there for her at every turn. As the head of the English department, part of Luke Harms’ job is to make sure everything runs smoothly. Things go haywire when Anna is put in charge of the big writing contest. Entries are missing, Anna appears to be in danger, and her job is on the line. Luke wants to make things right for this woman he’s starting to care about. Can a trio of school officials along with Nancy Daley, the town sleuth, stop the saboteur before it’s too late? And will Anna choose the right man, or lose them both?
Make Haste Slowly by Amy K. Rognlie
Life in Short Creek, Texas, is just what Callie Erickson expected it to be: calm and predictable...until the morning a gift bag--along with a dead body--appear on the doorstep of her shop. A terrible tragedy? Or something more sinister? With the help of her indomitable Aunt Dot and friends old and new, Callie sets out to discover the truth that could change her life forever.
Where There’s a Will by Amy K. Rognlie
A mysterious postcard, a decades-old mystery, and a cranky realtor have suddenly thrown Callie Erickson’s plans into a tailspin. Callie, Todd, and friends have their hearts set on building Hope House, but before they can make much headway, Callie is confronted with the mysterious death of someone much closer to her than she’d like. Was it murder? Callie isn’t so sure, but with Todd’s help, she’s doing her best to find out.
A Caffeine Conundrum by Angela Ruth Strong
Sassy city girl Tandy Brandt moves to a small town to start a coffee shop, never imagining she'll be competing with local beauty queen Marissa Alexander and her dream of running a tea house. Unfortunately, the current store owner dies before selling the location to either of them, and they both become murder suspects. The unlikely pair team up to discover the real killer, though with the secrets in Tandy's past and Marissa's infamous clumsiness, they could be their own worst enemies.
A Cuppa Trouble by Angela Ruth Strong
Plans for a Valentine's Day grand opening of a small town coffee shop go awry when the first customer is killed. Evidence points toward the victim being mixed up in a car theft ring, but shop owners Tandy and Marissa have reason to believe he was framed. Without approval from either their boyfriends or the gum-chewing FBI agent in charge, the shop owners go on stakeouts, plan stings, and pursue justice in a high-speed car chase. If they don't find the killer soon, it might be more than their love lives in trouble.
