The Hemlock Inn Mysteries

Who knew running a quaint old inn would involve so much murder?

Nestled in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the Hemlock Inn appears to be the perfect place for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. For Simone Evans, the small town of Pine Brook, WA, is the ideal spot for her to find herself after getting fired from her job as a bartender for protecting a customer. Though she hadn't spoken to her Aunt Sylvia in years before her death, inheriting Sylvia's inn feels like a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with her dearly-departed aunt, and find a new path in life.Of course, this small town may be cozy and charming, but it's also full of secrets, and people willing to kill to keep them that way. Join Simone, her thrill-seeking senior citizen best friend, a cast of colorful characters at the inn, and her affectionate beagle, Lola, as she investigates murder all over town, uncovers more secrets than she knows what to do with, and falls in love.
