Mixed Messages: A Malone Mystery (The Malone mystery series Book 1)
A serial killer on the west side of Cincinnati
is attacking women in their homes, terrifying the residents of the normally
peaceful, family-oriented neighborhood where Ann Malone Kern and her family
live.
But Ann pushes those
fears to the back of her mind as she struggles to deal with several personal
issues. Her primary concern is her marriage which, like her neighborhood, is in
jeopardy.
When a series of bizarre and frightening events take place and Ann receives both threatening notes and love poems, she feels like she's living in a world of mixed messages.
On Halloween night, a man forces his way into her apartment. Will Ann be the Westwood Strangler's next victim?
Unfinished Business (The Malone mystery series Book 2)
The Westwood Strangler is dead. Or so everyone
believes.
Ann Malone Kern is
busy preparing for her favorite holiday. She’s especially looking forward to
her sister’s annual Christmas visit. But, several things threaten to ruin her
festive mood.
The National Weather Service issues a severe winter storm warning for the
Cincinnati area, predicting blizzard conditions, and Ann worries that her
sister and her new boyfriend won’t be able to make the drive from South
Carolina.
Then, a woman is found strangled in Ann’s neighborhood and everyone, including
the police, assumes it’s the work of a copycat killer. However, when two more
women are murdered in their homes, the police announce their conviction that
the Westwood Strangler is responsible.
When Ann hears the news, the sense of safety and security she’s worked so hard
to recapture since her attack on Halloween night, shatters. If the intruder who
died in her apartment wasn’t the Westwood Strangler, who is?
Desperate Deeds (The Malone Mystery series Book 3)
As Ann Malone Kern starts her new business as
an interior decorator, the temperatures have risen, tulips and daffodils are in
bloom and there’s a feeling of endless possibilities in the air. She has no
idea that her world is about to be turned upside down.
The day before Easter,
Ann wakes up to discover that her young son is gone. Frantic, she searches the
house and the yard but there's no sign of Davey. Desperate, she and her
husband, David, call the police but their ongoing search continues to turn up
no leads. It appears the little boy has disappeared into thin air.
Another child, Kelly Kramer, has been missing since December. Where are the
children? And what, if anything, can Ann do to get her son back?
Ann feels like she’s in Paradise as she digs
her toes into the soft, white sand and gazes out at the ocean. She’s looked
forward to this vacation in South Carolina for a long time and all she wants to
do now is bask in the sun, resting and relaxing.
But Ann’s peaceful
vacation is disrupted when she goes for a solitary walk on the beach and
something shiny catches her eye. She’s horrified when she discovers the body of
a young woman with a gold locket twisted around her neck. And, she knows who
the locket belongs to.
Ann feels an obligation to discover the identity of the killer and to see them
brought to justice but, in the process, she places her own life in jeopardy.
Someone is stalking Marnie.
As an attorney, Marnie
Malone has made enemies through the years and she’s received her share of
verbal threats. But no one has ever acted on them - until her last week at
Cliburn & Reeves. However, in spite of the threatening phone calls, black
rose on her desk and other ominous messages, Marnie refuses to be intimated.
But when it becomes apparent that the stalker knows where she lives, Marnie
becomes nervous and apprehensive. Sam is out of town on business and she’s
alone in the big, old farmhouse with strange noises in the attic, creaking
floorboards and someone watching her from the woods.
As she tries to determine the identity of the stalker, the list of men who have
grudges against her grows longer each day. Is the stalker someone from the past
or one of the men on her list? And, how far will he go?
