A Ponderosa Pines Mystery

Ponderosa Pines is a quirky small-town cozy mystery series packed with gossip, humor, and secrets hiding in plain sight.

Nothing bad is supposed to happen in Ponderosa Pines—but best friends Chloe LaRue and EV Torrence know better. When murder, blackmail, and suspicious behavior begin creeping into their once-sleepy Maine town, the two women find themselves doing what they do best: asking questions, following rumors, and uncovering truths their neighbors would rather keep buried.

Told through interconnected mysteries, each book follows Chloe—an anonymous gossip columnist with a knack for spotting patterns—and EV, the town matriarch who knows everyone’s history, as they investigate crimes that ripple through the entire community. From local scandals and long-held grudges to secrets that refuse to stay hidden, the mysteries of Ponderosa Pines prove that small towns are anything but simple.

Blending lighthearted intrigue with sharp wit and an ensemble cast of eccentric characters, the Ponderosa Pines series delivers cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and a strong sense of place. With no graphic violence and plenty of quirky charm, these stories are perfect for readers who enjoy amateur sleuths, small-town drama, and mysteries fueled as much by gossip as by clues.
