RANDI BROOKS MYSTERY SERIES

FRAYED ENDS (Book 1) – Leaving her hectic job as a news producer in Washington, D.C., was never part of Randi Brooks’ plan, but when she learns of her parents’ tragic deaths, she has no choice but to rush home to Boca Raton, Florida. When she finds out their deaths weren’t accidental, things take a turn toward the dangerous.

Toss in a fire and theft at the family-owned fabric store and upholstery shop and an unscrupulous real estate developer willing to do whatever it takes to get her property, and things become deadly.

To complicate matters more, a mysterious but handsome man living in the guest house and an attractive detective harboring a high school crush are both vying for Randi’s affection.

While Randi struggles to make some difficult decisions regarding her parents’ business, her job in D.C., and her conflicting feelings toward both men, the three of them must find out who murdered Randi’s parents before the killer strikes again.

UNCOVERED (Book 2)- When Randi realizes the job she once loved doesn’t fit her anymore, she heads home. This time for good. Little does she know her new life in Boca will be anything but quiet.

While working with an elite Palm Beach customer, a small bronze statue ignites an unexpected mystery. Since the figure is tied to a seventy-year-old double homicide cold case and the theft of all the sculptor’s work, Randi sets out to uncover the whereabouts of the stolen pieces. Shrugging off anonymous threats to stop snooping into the past, she plows ahead only to discover her zeal places her in the unknown person’s crosshairs.

To further complicate things, the man who murdered Randi’s parents is discovered to be part of the Mexican drug cartel and is now after Connor who is in Texas. As well, Seth, now single, heaps fuel on the fire in his quest to secure Randi’s heart.

Can Randi recover the missing statues without putting her life in jeopardy? And can she resolve her love interests while not getting her heart broken along the way?

ORCHID FEVER (Book 3) – Randi wasn’t looking for another mystery to solve but that’s what happened when she found her new neighbor dead in her orchid house. Determined to track down the killer, even if that means breaking the law, she journeys into the intriguing and obsessive world of orchid hobbyists.

Later, a Thanksgiving trip to Las Cruces to meet Connor challenges Randi’s belief in their relationship when his meeting with a shady couple at a bar is shrouded in secrecy.  To further her confusion, she finds maps of Mexican drug cartel compounds strewn about his bedroom.

Bewildered, Randi returns to Boca only to discover Connor has fallen off the grid, and the FBI suspects him of being a drug dealer with the Mexican cartel. This stunning revelation sends Randi into a tailspin.

Follow Randi as she discovers why orchid hobbyists would “kill” to produce a winning hybrid orchid, the truth about Connor, and why her parents were killed.

CAPONE’S KEYS (Book 4) – When a strange woman shows up on Randi’s doorstep with a mysterious, rusted lockbox, claiming it was owned by the infamous Chicago gangster Al Capone and, more recently, tied to her husband’s death, Randi is thrust into the middle of an almost century-old mystery.

Names on tags attached to safe deposit keys leads Randi down a dark path filled with secrets, illegal activities, and murder. Unfortunately for Randi, someone is willing to kill for those keys, and she’s the primary target.

Now, she must figure out who these people are, what their connection is to Capone, and what is inside the safe deposit boxes—before she becomes the next casualty.
