The Open Road Mysteries
Cosy mysteries by Maureen Hanrahan — one house-sit at a time.
Marnie and Doug sold the house, bought a motorhome named Beryl, and now spend retirement house-sitting their way around regional Australia — a new town, a new sit, and, more often than the locals would like, a death the whole place has got wrong. Marnie reads people the way other people read print. Doug doesn’t guess. Between them, they catch what a tidy small town would rather not see.
Two books in, one more on the way
Vintage to Die For
Book One. A wine-country cellar, a death the whole town’s too quick to call an accident, and a retired café waitress who’s never once managed to mind her own business.
Borrowed Time
Book Two. A hobby farm, a careful man who died somewhere he’d spent thirty years avoiding, and a brass carriage clock that’s kept one of Doug’s secrets for forty years.
Book Three, A Little Bird Told Me, is on the way — Beryl’s already pointed toward the coast.
About Maureen
Maureen Hanrahan writes from a kitchen table in regional Australia, with a road atlas she can’t stop opening and a dog who’d make a hopeless detective.
