Bristol Heights Cozy Mystery
Welcome to Bristol Heights, a charming Chesapeake Bay town where the coffee is hot, the neighbors know everyone's business, and murder has a way of finding its way to the doorstep of the Bradford Inn.
After inheriting her uncle's historic Bradford Inn, Emma Bradford leaves behind her life as a Philadelphia chef and returns to her hometown, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself at the center of one baffling mystery after another. With the help of her loyal Basset Hound, Jax, her spirited best friend Liza, and a cast of unforgettable townspeople, Emma discovers that beneath Bristol Heights' picturesque streets, bustling marina, and cozy festivals lie secrets worth killing for.
Emma is never alone in her investigations. By her side is Tom Waters, the dependable handyman whose practical skills and steady presence often prove invaluable when clues lead into dangerous territory. Her lifelong friend, Liza Sampson, brings boundless energy, local connections, and an irresistible curiosity that frequently uncovers information others overlook. Keeping both the inn and Emma grounded is Eleanor Whitmore, the Bradford Inn's wise and resourceful house manager, whose keen observations and deep knowledge of Bristol Heights often reveal the smallest details that crack a case wide open. Together, they form an unlikely but effective team determined to protect their town and uncover the truth behind every mystery. From suspicious deaths at community events and historic bookstores to murders connected to boat shows, theater productions, holiday celebrations, and hidden treasures, each mystery draws Emma deeper into the lives and secrets of the people around her. As clues pile up and danger closes in, Emma must rely on her sharp instincts, culinary creativity, and the occasional help of a clue-sniffing Basset Hound to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.
Filled with charming small-town atmosphere, lovable characters, gentle humor, clean mysteries, and plenty of twists, the Bristol Heights Cozy Mysteries series is perfect for readers who love amateur sleuths, loyal pets, close-knit communities, and page-turning whodunits.
