What’s New
History – and murder – repeat
Sheila and Clara grapple with the mystery of ZigZag Jane – a Jane Doe from a century ago, found in a cemetery on ZigZag Trail. One devoted family now hopes Sheila and Clara can find ZigZag Jane’s real identity after all this time. And that’s only the beginning of the challenge for the pair . . . Book 7 of the Secret Sleuth series, Death on ZigZag Trail, is out now, and you can pre-order Book 8, Death on Puzzle Place.
New romance for you
A new series has added to my catalog: The Wyoming Marriage Association. Characters you love from my other Wyoming romance series join forces to bring together people they hope will find love and happiness as they have. You can now buy the first book in the series, First Date: Divorce, and pre-order the second title, Second Start: Family, which is coming in 2023. Expect love, romance, humor and a little mystery.
When Sheila met Elizabeth
Before the Murders places Sheila (from Secret Sleuth) and Elizabeth (Caught Dead in Wyoming) in a historic London hotel months before Sheila boarded the Diversion and Elizabeth wound up in Wyoming. Sheila and Kit team up with Elizabeth to unravel a non-murderous mystery. Read this exclusive novella for free by joining Patricia’s ReadHeads and receive free, twice monthly newsletters.
