Whispering Pines Mysteries Box Set: Books 1-3

This boxed set contains the first three books in the Whispering Pines mystery series.

Family Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery

Sixteen years after a family feud drove her from the cozy Northwoods village of Whispering Pines, Wisconsin, former detective Jayne O’Shea returns to prepare her grandparents’ lake house for sale. Once there, not only does she find that the house has been trashed, her dog discovers a dead body in the backyard.

Jayne intends to stay out of it, but when it becomes obvious the sheriff isn't interested in investigating the death, Jayne can't stop herself. Her list of suspects grows faster than the plants in the commons’ pentacle garden. Could it be the local Wiccan green witch with her stash of deadly plants? The shopkeeper who slips into trances and foretells death? The visitor determined to practice black magic?

What Jayne knows for sure is that the closer she gets to solving this crime, the more the sheriff wants her to back off. And when a local fortune teller provides a crucial clue, Jayne knows it’s up to her to solve this murder.


Kept Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book Two

One month after arriving in the Northwoods, former detective Jayne O’Shea has settled comfortably into small-town life and is making good progress with her task of getting her grandparents’ house ready for sale. Then the shocking death of one of the carnies rocks the community, and the villagers look to Jayne for help, placing her in an impossible middle ground of not wanting to get involved and needing to ensure justice is served.

When a second carney turns up dead, and the newly hired sheriff—more concerned with ticketing tourists than catching the killer—dismisses the death as an accident, Jayne has no choice but to step in. Can she uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again?


Original Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book Three

Exhausted from being the only law enforcement official on duty, while also trying to open a bed-and-breakfast, Jayne O’Shea welcomes the escape she finds in her grandmother’s journals. Each entry gives her a deeper understanding of why her grandparents moved to the secluded spot so long ago. But as questions are answered, deeply hidden secrets are unearthed.

If Jayne can put all the pieces of this puzzle together, she’ll not only learn the truth behind her grandmother’s death, she’ll catch a killer who's been wandering the village for forty years.



What readers are saying:

“I've read them all and just want to go back.”

“I wish Whispering Pines was a real place”

“If you enjoy honest, rather raw characters seeking direction, and the consequences of past mistakes, you'll enjoy this series as much as I have. Do read the books in written order to avoid spoilers.”

“I really enjoy how the characters continue to evolve in this series and the new eccentrics fit right in!”

“I totally fell in love with Whispering Pines both the village and the story. I will warn readers these aren't stand-alone stories, they need to be read in order. There are several mysteries going at a time. Murder mysteries always have a bad guy but in this case the solutions are kind of happy endings. The writing style is very readable but very hard to put down. I would gladly plan my next trip to Whispering Pines.”
