MEET
PENELOPE PEMBROKE
owner of the best
(only) B&B in Amaryllis, Arkansas (pop. 5492) who’s
- flirting with 50 (read 'You're as young as you feel'.)
- divorced (read 'Travis Pembroke, cotton entrepreneur, had a wandering eye'.)
- mother of Detective Bradley Pembroke of the Amaryllis PD (read 'She wishes he understood her as well as she understands him'.)
- apple of her father Jake Kelley's eye (read 'She wouldn't trade him for two spotted pups.')
- best friend of Mary Lynn Hargrove, the mayor's wife (read 'They've known each other since high school and know each other inside out'.)
- and the only human creature tolerated by Abijah, the 18-pound orange tabby who stalks the family home-turned B&B.
Penelope
keeps her ear to the ground, her eyes open, and her battered heart in
solitary confinement. Then one night, while having a beer and a
Reuben at the seedy-though-popular Sit-n-Swill, she meets Tiny aka
Sam who is about as much of a biker as she is a belly dancer.
She insists on dabbling in danger and disaster despite Sam's best efforts to discourage her. The fireworks begin in Book 1, light up the skies in Books 2,3,4, and 5, and end in one spectacularly explosive display in Book 6.

Blurbs for the Penelope Pembroke
Cozy Mystery Series:
Book
1:
The
Bogus Biker
A
police raid on the Sit-n-Swill where Penelope is having a beer and a
Reuben with her father, a devastating fire at her divorced husband’s
historical home, and a game of cat-and-mouse with a biker who is
anything but one, turns Penelope’s placid life upside down.
Book
2:
The
Stubborn Schoolhouse Spirit
When
Penelope agrees to help the mayor’s wife turn the old school into a
community center, she isn’t counting on what she’ll find at the
bottom of the 13 steps leading to the basement.
Book
3:
The
Feed Store Floozy
A
former Amaryllis resident returns to open an antique store in a
building which has had many lives, including a saloon/parlor house,
but Penelope and the other residents of the town aren’t counting on
the murder and mayhem he brings with him.
Book
4:
The
Possum Hollow Hullabaloo
Penelope
keeps the B&B slick as a whistle, but when the secrets of a
forgotten community set back in the hills begin to leak out, she
finds herself in the middle of a mess she can’t clean up.
Book
5:
The
Larcenous Legacy
The
new priest of St. Hyacinth’s brings a breath of fresh air to the
parish, but something about an ordination gift from his immigrant
grandfather is rattling the bones of evil past and present.
Book
6:
Sam’s
Last Stand
Tiny
the biker, aka Sam, is back yet again, and Penelope is head over
heels in love…but if Sam can’t let go of his dark past, they have
no future.
I love mysteries but I've never read a book by Penelope - I'll be checking out the first book and see how I like it..thanks for sharing!
