Enjoy the first three books in the bestselling Gabriella Hunt Cozy Mystery Series in this boxed set!

When the life she thought she knew is suddenly taken away, Ella Hunt is determined to make a new life for herself and her faithful companion, Boris the Bulldog. She finds a new purpose in the form of a small, failed hotel in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Murder in Coeur d’Alene

With her expertise in designing and upgrading hotel properties, Ella is determined to restore the hotel back to its former glory. But when she finds out the former hotel owner was found murdered in the hotel cellar, Ella teams up with the lead detective on the case, Luke Falconer, to uncover the truth and clear the hotel's name.

Murder in Belize

When Ella, her sister-in-law, and a police detective travel to Belize to find out what happened to Ella’s husband the day he didn’t return from diving the Great Blue Hole, they never expected that their lives would be in danger. Belize seems like paradise, but like any mirage, scratch the underbelly, and things aren’t quite what they seem.

As the layers of the mystery begin to unravel, they find evidence of corporate fraud and illegal activity of every type that’s happening all along the west coast of the United States. Illegal activity so massive that the FBI and police departments in both the United States and Belize have become involved. And it looks like the Belize Police Department may have to go after one of their own.

Coming face to face in the Belizean jungle with an international hitman and the man presumed to have killed one’s husband is not high on any wife’s list of enjoyable experiences. Particularly if she’s unarmed.

Murder in Santa Monica

When a dead truck driver is found in a hotel parking lot in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Homicide Detectives Luke Falconer and Matt Greene must uncover the mysterious nexus between the York Minster Hotel, Medford, Oregon, and Santa Monica, California.

But the deeper they dig, the more secrets they uncover: a smuggling ring, a bar cheating the IRS, and a Russian wife with an authentic Fabergé egg in her display cabinet. As Luke, Matt, and Gabriella work to make sense of the situation, they discover a web of lust, greed, love, and hatred that will keep readers on the edge of their seat.

Lady Pemberton has a rare flower that people would kill for.
And if they had the flower, it would make them rich beyond their wildest dreams.
But that’s not the only reason people want to kill her.
If you’re one of them, you’ll probably have to stand in line and take a number.

When Dani’s contacted by Lady Ellen Pemberton to cater a dinner the night before the Dahlia Show she’s hosting in the village of Tintagal in North Cornwall, England, she’s completely put off by the woman’s imperious attitude. Dani finally agrees to do it only because her young niece, Anna, is completely enthralled by the legend of King Arthur, and the dinner is taking place very near King Arthur’s castle.

When she and Arthur, her sous-chef, who also owns an international private investigation firm, arrive in the small village where the dinner is to held, she finds out the woman is far worse than she’d imagined. Arthur regrets talking Dani into accepting the job, then he does a little investigating, and discovers that Lady Pemberton’s death is high on the priority list of a lot of people.

Fortunately, Giles, the son of one of the dahlia judges, is a Los Angeles Police Department homicide detective who has flown to England to make sure his mother won’t be collateral damage if there is an incident at the dinner. Along with Arthur and Matt, Arthur’s right-hand man, they team up, hoping to keep the dinner drama free.

But that may be more difficult than they think, because Lady Pemberton carries drama with her wherever she goes, often of her own making.

Join Dani, Arthur, Matt, and Giles, as they combine their efforts to keep Lady Pemberton alive, even though privately each of them thinks the village may be far better off if she’s dead.

Mystery at the Chateau Madrigal

Chef Dani Rosetti Cozy Mysteries Book 4


Author: Dianne Harman

AVAILABLE at Amazon
Read FREE at Kindle Unlimited


Being hired to cater a wedding in Provence where the who's who of France will be attending is a dream come true. Even better that it's being held at the Chateau Madrigal, a winery just outside of Marseille.

Chef Dani assumes there will be plenty of time off to explore Michelin restaurants, where Van Gogh lived and painted, and Provence in all its beauty, with its flamingos, black bulls, and miles of Camargue salt flats. To say nothing of imbibing in the award-winning wines the chateau produces.

Sounds ideal, right? Not quite. Not when Amalie, the bride-to-be, goes missing hours before the wedding. Kidnapped for ransom is ruled out, but who would want to kidnap the bride-to-be? And why?

Perhaps the disgruntled maid of honor? Or the bride's jealous sister? Or even the man who wasn't chosen to be the new winemaker at Chateau Madrigal? Good thing the caterer's sous-chef is a private investigator! And have you ever heard of a dog being a maid of honor?

Join Chef Dani Rosetti, her sous-chef, Arthur, and Killer, a huge Mastiff dog, as they search the wine caves beneath the chateau for Amalie. Caves that are dark and frightening. But if the chateau's security force hasn't had any luck finding Amalie, how can they hope to find her in time for the wedding? The wedding the French tabloids are calling "The Wedding of the Year".

The editor of Chic magazine, JoJo Morales, was a fashion icon. Too bad she was murdered at the meeting of the world’s leading fashionistas on Jupiter Island, Florida.

She had a lot of enemies, and they were all at the dinner Chef Dani catered at JoJo’s partner’s spectacular waterfront home. And how fitting she was poisoned using her grandmother’s antique atomizer, the very grandmother who had groomed her to rise to the top of the fashion industry.

The local police detective assigned to the case has to suddenly leave to handle another case. He asks Arthur, Dani’s catering sous-chef, to take over the case, since Arthur is the owner of a private investigation company. Cooking is his avocation, but finding murderers is his vocation.

It seems like everyone had a motive to murder JoJo, from her philandering husband, to the top fashion editors in the world. But when all of them have airtight alibis for where they were when the murder occurred, now what?
 




Secrets in Savannah

Chef Dani Rosetti Cozy Mysteries Book 6


Author: Dianne Harman

AVAILABLE at Amazon
Read FREE at Kindle Unlimited


What could be better than being hired to cater a champagne celebration in Savannah, Georgia in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Daughters of the Confederacy? Well, maybe it’s not such a good thing if your life is threatened.

The Daughters were an exclusive group of women who owned Historic Registry homes in Savannah, plantations outside of town, and wielded a huge amount of influence over Savannah, and even the whole state of Georgia. But Dani Rosetti never expected to have her life threatened because she was a symbol of change that some of those women did not want.

But were they ready to do whatever they had to do in order to preserve the status quo of their community? Did that involve doing something harmful to Dani, because she wasn’t one of their preferred Savannah caterers? When Dani started receiving root bundles and mojo bags, her niece’s nanny, Briana, became concerned. Was Dani in danger? And according to Dr. Henry, a man who had spent his life working with the white magic and black magic of that region of the United States, she definitely was.

But what was the motive, and who was responsible? Arthur, Dani’s sous-chef and bodyguard, tries to make sense of it, but Dani thinks it is absolutely ridiculous, probably nothing more than an old wives’ tale. Whether or not she believes in it, Arthur is convinced the danger is real. Then Cosette, the Daughter who hired Dani for the event, starts to receive root bundles and mojo bags.

Anna, Dani’s niece, is her usual precocious self and quickly learns what “Bless you” really means in the South. Join Dani, Arthur, and Anna as they become involved in the light and dark side of what is commonly referred to as the “Hostess City of the South,” the mysterious and oh-so-beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia.
