Zonked in the Zucchinis

2025

Doreen is slowly recovering from the mad yet joyous ending to last year, as she faces the new year and what it might bring. Since she’s now engaged to Mack—and everyone around her is pressuring her to pick a wedding date and hopefully soon—she yearns for another case to keep her busy. So, when an older gentleman calls and needs help fulfilling his wife’s last wish, Doreen is right there to help. The case is beyond cold, which means she gets free rein. However, when it starts to butt up against a new case Mack has, he’s quick to move her back into her lane—only he’s not quite quick enough. Doreen and her trusty animal trio traverse the Joe Rich area to downtown Kelowna and back, as her cold case curls back around in on itself—and Mack’s current case. Solving these two cases will be worthy of a mention in the history books!

Yipped in the Yams

2025

When the Captain suggests that Doreen might want to break her boredom spell by looking into an old case, she jumps at the chance. Anything new is always great, and anything that the Captain gives her means she has his permission—which gives her a lot of leeway in getting the information she needs. However, when she realizes the case is about the long-forgotten and unidentified bones of a baby, … she knows this case will hurt in so many ways. Still, the thought of this case remaining unsolved for so many years makes her all that more determined to solve it. However, the more digging she does, the more people try to clamp down on talking to her, as she learns that family members of that little girl are still alive. No one is willing to talk, except one—who dies the morning after … When her case dovetails with another case and an old big-business local family, the gloves are off, and Doreen wades into the mix as always …

X-Ray in the Xanth

2025

Something in Doreen’s last case sends Chester and Darren out with shovels to a location she’d never seen before. When she finds out why, she’s all in—particularly when they find a body. She hates to be delighted with a new case, as that always sounds macabre, … but it’s a new case, and that’s always exciting to her. Yet nothing is ever simple when Doreen gets into the mix. As she slowly unravels this new mystery, the case bends and twists in several different directions, with more deaths adding to the mess. She even gets blamed once or twice for causing extra work. By the time she’s thoroughly embedded herself into this cold case and Mack’s related current case, the puzzle is as confusing as any case she’s ever solved. And no happy conclusion is in sight …

Weapon in the Watermelon

2025

When a young couple is attacked while prepping for a catering job, it seems like the family is dealing with a long-running curse—one that ends in murder. … Doreen can’t stop meddling, so, when she finds out that that the young woman’s mother is an unsolved murder case, Doreen has her cold case to work her way into Mack’s current investigation. But, like all her cases, nothing is quite to simple. While Mack is dealing with the death of the dead chef, Doreen is working behind the scenes to sort out all the different family factions. Meanwhile she must also sort out a gift for Nan’s birthday. Somehow Doreen manages to mix the two together. Now if only things would go smoothly from here on in—but of course not they don’t. With the animals involved, the chaos is even wilder.
