Maddie Swallows Mysteries: A Duet
Part of the Maddie Swallows Mysteries series
New Mexico meets cozy mystery in this two-book duet. If you like small towns, humor, and intrigue, you'll love the Maddie Swallows mystery series.
This duet includes the first two books of the Maddie Swallows series, Dead Before Dinner and Dead Upon Arrival.
Dead Before Dinner:
Green chile has never been more dangerous.
Psychologist Maddie Swallows' decision to return to New Mexico seemed like a good idea at the time, considering the divorce and her two teenagers she'd dragged along for the ride.
But that was before the New Year's Eve party she was guilt-tripped into attending. Before a member of the town council wound up dead and everyone at the party became a suspect. And before she was forced to unravel the secrets of her former hometown in order to clear her name.
Of course, with the help of two precocious teenagers and one meddling mother, the real murderer doesn't stand a chance.
Dead Upon Arrival:
Flying high in the New Mexican sky has never been more lethal.
The biggest hot air balloon festival would have been a vacation if Maddie didn't have to balance her apathetic teenagers, a meddling mother, and act as therapist for a desperate patient. Let alone solve a murder case!
When Maddie witnesses someone fall from a hot air balloon, it seems like a tragic accident. But as facts come to light, the police are convinced it's foul play. And Maddie's friend is to blame.
With the remainder of the festival canceled and all attendees required to stay for questioning, Maddie has two days to discover the truth behind the murder and free her friend from suspicion.
