“A fun read from first page to last … an impressively original and deftly crafted read”—Midwest Book Review
“Readers know what a sucker I am for dogs, and the Libby Madsen mysteries are some of the best. I love, love, love Shadow and Libby and the adventures they get themselves into. Jennifer J. Morgan is destined to be one of the brightest new stars in the cozy mystery scene!” – Connie Shelton, USA Today bestselling author
Book 1: Shadows in the Forest
Libby Madsen offers a favor for a client at her luxurious day spa, to deliver critical medication to the woman’s daughter who has gone camping in the Arizona mountains. But when Libby and her black Lab, Shadow, arrive at the campground, the young woman is nowhere to be found, and no one has seen the group she claimed to be traveling with. Something feels sinister, and Libby’s own life will be in danger as she seeks the answers.
Book 2: Spa Shadows
Libby’s world is rocked to the core when her business partner Alexis—working late one night—is attacked by an intruder at their spa. JJ shows up in full cop mode, terrified that his wife has barely escaped the serial rapist who’s been plaguing the city in recent months. But Lexi isn’t convinced. Too many seemingly unrelated incidents mean that there’s something more going on.
Meanwhile, Libby and Greg are flourishing as a couple although she’d certainly like to put off having him meet her nosey mother Julia and sister Jordan just a little while longer.
Book 3: Shadowed Treasures
With all the recent turmoil in their lives, it’s time for a vacation! Libby and friends get in their RVs and caravan to Utah. Enjoying live music one night at a campground, they meet Eugene Walker and his third wife Agatha, old folks who are dancing the night away. They are the cutest! But soon Libby and her companions become a bit frustrated. The pair say they’re on a treasure hunt but their stories don’t add up. And then Eugene goes missing, leaving Libby to figure it out.
