Mosey Frye Mysteries

Murder at Waite House

When real estate agent and sleuth Mosey Frye lists a stigmatized property, solving the murder outshines making the sale. But in a little Delta town, good luck getting the Police Chief to pay you any mind—specially if you’re a long-legged, rosy-cheeked blonde.

The Terrace

Lured by a ripped photograph of members of the local gentry, Mosey visits the grounds of an abandoned mansion, where, on the once stunning terrace, now fallen into ruin, she uncovers a dark past, the chilling murder of a lovely young socialite.

The House with a Corner Door

As a guest at an old Western hotel, Mosey Frye finds herself within striking range of a killer who targets women real estate agents by pressing poisonous bulbs into their mouths. Out of her usual element, can Mosey adapt and help the local sheriff track down the murderous lunatic before he kills again?

The Summer House at Larkspur

In this full-length novel, when Mosey hunts for a summer house on the grounds of an abandoned plantation, she comes across skeletal remains at the bottom of an old cistern. That same day, news of the horrific stabbing death of a reclusive nun leaves the citizens of Hembree in hang-jawed shock. Given that the tumble-down estate belonged to the dead nun’s family, Mosey insists there must be a connection between the two events. But Lieutenant Gus Olivera, predisposed against Mosey and the Church, scrambles to find a suspect among members of the clergy. Will Olivera solve this one on his own? Or will his hopes be dashed when Mosey, once again, drops the clue that points to the killer?

The Incident at Sunny Banks

In Book 5, Mosey Frye comes upon a corpse in the garage at Sunny Banks, the home of local towboat magnate Martin Eldridge. Hembree police chief, Lieutenant Gus Olivera, tracks a lead on a man who tried to extort money from the Captain Jack crew, claiming they were intoxicated on the night of a fatal collision. But Mosey, ever inquisitive, sets her sights on the Eldridges’ distant past and ultimately reveals a more devious plot to destroy the elderly river man’s legacy and take control of his company.

The House with a Secret Cellar

In Book 6, soon after Mosey Frye closes on Morris House, the new owner discovers a menacing figure lurking in the garden. What begins as a simple snooping incident leads to a chilling find in the tool shed, followed by the discovery of a hidden cellar brimming with dusty old books, an antiquated typewriter, and a table set with playing cards and poker chips. As Chief Gus Olivera delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers several Spanish colonial paintings stashed behind a bookcase. Sensing a possible connection between the poker game and the stashed artwork, Olivera, with Mosey at his side, plunges into the dark history of the town’s most prominent citizenry and unearths secrets that bring a shadowy past to light.

The Murder at Red Oaks

Real estate agent Mosey Frye expected to show a grand Victorian, not discover her client’s strangled body carefully arranged in an ornate coffin. When the new forensic profiler suggests the killer was “honoring” the victim, Police Chief Gus Olivera focuses on hard evidence—and makes a chilling discovery. The coffin belongs to a young woman who drowned years ago near the very same house. As the investigation deepens, questions multiply: Why would someone steal from a mausoleum? What connects a decade-old tragedy to this brutal murder? And with a killer who stages elaborate scenes on the loose, the terrified townspeople of this small river town realize no one is safe.
