It's always a pleasure to welcome Linda to Sunnybank Secrets blog. Today, we'll learn more about her newest cozy mystery book, Amelia Moore Mysteries. It sounds fantastic! Read on!
In this mystery series, Amelia Moore is
the founder of the Moore Detective Agency and specializes
in missing
persons. Her cases have taken her to some very interesting places and
put her in some dangerous situations. With the help of Rick Bonito,
her business is flourishing. This series is available as seven
individual novels or as three volumes.
In Amelia Moore Mysteries, Volume 1,
they travel to exotic places such as Bali Island in Indonesia,
Ireland where she gets to kiss the Blarney Stone, and Mexico where
she experiences what a rain forest is really like. Volume 1 includes
three cozy mysteries.
If you have longed to visit an exotic
island, The Bali Mystery will take you there. When Mrs. Brody
hires Amelia and Rick to find her missing brother, they find
themselves in Bali, Indonesia. They are mystified why her brother
quit his job, put his home up for sale, and ran off to this
mysterious and exotic island without telling a soul.
Ireland is the next place you can visit
with Amelia and Rick. When Amelia is hired to search for her client’s
grandparents in The Shamrock Case, the case takes them to
Ireland. Kate must learn about her heritage. Who are her grandparents
and could they still be alive after all these years? Why did her
parents leave Ireland suddenly and move to America? Is there more to
this case than meets the eye?
The last place Amelia was thinking of
visiting was Mexico. In The Missing Heir, Dell Murphy has
passed on and left a fortune to his nephew. He wants his nephew to
continue his work at the orphanage in Mexico, but there is one
problem. Neal Woods is missing! If Amelia and Rick can’t find him
soon, the fortune will be turned over to Dell’s brother and sister
who intend to close down “Uncle Dell’s Orphanage.” If that
happens, where will the children go?

Park. Volume 2 includes two cozy mysteries.

Doll, Pauline Jones is confused about why her boyfriend took off

convinced he is innocent. When Amelia finds Sam, she realizes they
need to prove his innocence. Where is the antique doll and who has
taken it?

Oh, yeah, we're not much of a gardener family for several reasons.
Through the years, I've had several hobbies, some I still enjoy, others, I've discarded or lost interest, while still finding new creative ways to enjoy life.
