"The story has a Nancy Drew style to it… fun and upbeat with a mystery that's intriguing, engaging, and is perfectly fitted to the witty duo of Luffy and Jasmine… funny, charming, lighthearted"--5 Stars, Readers' Favorite BOOK ONE A quaint town full of secrets. A string of bizarre occurrences. An unconvincing suicide... Jasmine Moore is a local favorite who is unusually gifted—she has random visions of the future that often portend disaster. She can also understand her loyal golden retriever. Literally. When a body is discovered in the small town of Blackwood Cove, the authorities are ready to write it off as a suicide. But for Jasmine, something doesn’t quite add up... The deceased was a seasoned swimmer. Drowning was probably the last way to go. Taking up the mantle of detective, Jasmine sets out on a path full of twists and turns to solve the baffling case. Sifting through decades of forgotten town history and long-buried secrets, she soon discovers that everyone has something to hide. Time is running out, and Jasmine needs to unearth the startling truth before the town is shaken to its core yet again. BOOK TWO She thought the mysteries were behind her… When a promising young student plunges to his death from a historic clock tower, Jasmine knows that foul play is involved. Once again summoning her detective skills and her faithful companion Luffy, she must solve another case and catch an evasive killer. Under the spell of the spring rains, her investigation will take her deep into the ancient halls of Wildwood College – a historic building echoing with memories of the past. As Jasmine peels through the darkest layers of secrets, she casts a new light on the College and its long-dead inhabitants. But with a murderer on the loose and time running out, will she get to the bottom of it all? Or will the clock run short? BOOK THREE A puzzling murder and not a suspect in sight… After a dead body is discovered in the dusty stacks of the old library, the quiet seaside town of Blackwood Cove is once again plunged into a seemingly unsolvable case. College student Jasmine Moore wanted nothing more than to relax with a good book after a stressful and tumultuous semester. But it seems like fate has other plans. Surrounded by familiar faces and accompanied by her trusted dog Luffy, this amateur sleuth must once again put her wits to the test against a baffling murder with not a suspect in sight. If Jasmine wants to fight her way to the bottom of this mystery, she’ll need more than just luck this time. With a sea of conflicting clues and contradictory information, it seems like Jasmine and Luffy are up against their toughest case yet. Only a few subtle connections hold the secret to finding the killer – if she’s quick-thinking enough to spot them…

The use of a talking dog partner-in-crime is still golden as Luffy's innocent and delightful viewpoint and commentary continue to charm… Dead Man's Trail is another delightful installment in the series with humor, top-notch mystery, conflict, and a lovely setting.”--5 Stars, Readers' Favorite BOOK TEN Deep in the wilderness, murder awaits… Jasmine imagined a relaxing camping trip along the beautiful White Mountain trail would be the perfect way to take a break and forget about the murder investigations plaguing her life. However, she can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong—and when she experiences a harrowing vision soon after embarking on her trip, her suspicions are confirmed. After she and her group stumble upon shocking new information about a long-lost cold case, Jasmine’s hopes of a quiet getaway are crushed. Isolated from the outside world and armed only with her wits, she becomes determined to solve the murder—but it quickly becomes clear that somebody is hell-bent on stopping the truth from ever being brought to light… As the weather turns sour and tensions rise within her group, Jasmine scrambles to unmask the killer and identify the elusive threat that haunts her visions. Is a mysterious killer lurking on the mountainside? Or does someone in her group harbor a dark secret? BOOK ELEVEN A puzzling disappearance, a suspicious news blog, and the media circling in like vultures… When the wife of a wealthy businessman appeals to private eye Jasmine Moore for help, she assumes it’s just another harmless missing persons case. But her ordinary investigation soon spirals into something much more sinister – and as the news companies start arriving, Jasmine quickly realizes that this disappearance goes much deeper than she’d ever imagined… When murder is on the cards, the local authorities step in. Teaming up with the sheriff department’s newest white-hat hacker, Jasmine and her faithful companion Luffy must investigate a popular news blog that just keeps cropping up. As they sift through a host of suspicious characters to unravel the truth… and as another victim goes missing, Jasmine must act fast before her investigation ends in disaster. Time is running out, and all eyes are on her. Can Jasmine decipher the truth behind Blackwood Cove’s latest perplexing case, or will she embarrass herself in front of a national audience? BOOK TWELVE The demise of a popular author, a hotel on lockdown, and no killer in sight… The world-famous fantasy convention ArcadiaCon is bustling with activity, and Jasmine is overjoyed to take a break from her work and dive into the fun and excitement with her faithful dog Luffy and fantasy enthusiast Brandon. But when a fantasy panelist turns up dead, his grisly murder re-enacted from a scene in one of his novels, Jasmine, Brandon, and Luffy are catapulted into a chilling investigation that will quickly prove to be their most challenging case yet. With the convention spiralling into chaos and the hotel on strict lockdown, they’ll have to race against the clock if they want to unpick the puzzle and unmask the sinister culprit. Struggling to wrangle together their suspects and with no clear motive in sight, Jasmine must use all of her sleuthing skills to think outside the box and find out who would want to kill one of the world’s most popular authors. Rival writers, obsessive fans, and personal enemies are only a few of the possible theories – and if she doesn’t act fast, the killer could slip away… or worse, strike again. Will Jasmine succeed in cracking her toughest ever case? Or has this cunning killer finally managed to outwit her?

Eager to try her hand at an exciting televised game show, amateur sleuth Jasmine and her faithful companion Luffy are back at it again when they pit their skills against eleven fellow competitors on the hunt for a hidden treasure. Jasmine needs the prize money to fund her budding PI business… provided nobody else gets to it first. But things soon take a darker turn when one of the competitors meets an untimely demise. Jasmine knew the competition would be fierce – but could it really drive someone to murder? With the cameras trained on her every move and the remaining competitors still vying to claim the grand prize for themselves, Jasmine must juggle her desire to win the competition with her determination to solve the case.
