An Imogene Museum Mystery
7 primary works
Book 1
Meredith Morehouse, curator of the eclectic Imogene Museum, is suddenly short-staffed. Her favorite (and only) graduate student intern, Greg, is missing—without leaving behind so much as an empty pizza box, to say nothing of a note.
Plus, a prowler has been rearranging the museum’s brand new chamber pot exhibit. When Meredith's nighttime vigil to flush out the intruder results in witnessing a murder, she calls in Sheriff Marge Stettler. Soon nearly all the other inhabitants of the small town of Platts Landing, Washington, (including hunky tugboat captain Pete Sills) are in on the hunt—for the killers and a body that’s drifting down the Columbia River. Is the dead man her intern or somebody else? And if it's somebody else, where on earth is Greg?

Book 2
Museum curator Meredith Morehouse stumbles upon the remnants of a stolen shipment of scary-looking wood figurines, but she can’t tell if they are smuggled national treasures or clever fakes.
While Meredith is sucked into the secret federal probe of the fishy figurines and their importer, her ex-fiancé—a man so annoyingly arrogant he could easily drive someone to murder—returns for another round of marriage proposals, and he won’t take no for an answer. Just when her friendship with tugboat captain Pete Sills might be heating up...What’s a girl to do?

Book 3
When asked to research old documents for a local family, Meredith Morehouse, curator of the eclectic Imogene Museum, jumps at the chance. As if she didn’t already have enough to do. She’s trying to hire a new gift shop manager while also keeping tabs on Rupert Hagg, the eccentric museum director who is remarkably blind to the wiles of a persistent, gold-digging newcomer. And she still needs to find time to see Pete Sills, the hardworking tugboat captain she’s just started dating.
Then Meredith’s research unearths hints that a decade-old suicide might not have been suicide after all. So many secrets in the small, riverside town of Platts Landing, Washington. Will someone kill again to hide the truth?

Book 4
When Meredith Morehouse and her fisherman friend, George, narrowly miss death via explosion, Meredith’s curiosity instinct kicks in. The explosion could’ve been accidental...but Meredith is about to take the witness stand in Sockeye County’s trial of the decade. And George’s earlier hint that he needs to talk to Meredith’s new beau, tugboat captain Pete Sills, about something he’s seen indicates not all is peaceful along the Columbia River.
Can Meredith and Pete sort out George’s frightening suspicions before someone puts one or all of them out of commission?

Book 5
Someone has broken into the Imogene Museum. Curator Meredith Morehouse finds an empty ornate frame, the still-life painting hurriedly sheared from its moorings, and calls in Sheriff Marge Stettler as she scrambles to identify the burglar. Not because his taste in art is questionable but because the thief’s intimate knowledge of the museum and its collections indicates much more is at stake.
Is the thief a friend or stranger? It doesn’t help that the population of Platts Landing, Washington, has just blossomed with the influx of Hollywood movie-types roaming the countryside in search of the perfect setting for their next documentary. Nor that Meredith’s boyfriend, Pete, has just spotted his ex-girlfriend among the production crew.
Can Meredith protect Sockeye County’s iconic cultural institution and her beloved employer, Rupert Hagg, from the thief’s sinister intent?

Book 6
After weeks of fire danger warnings and several wildfire flare-ups, the residents of Sockeye County, Washington, are on edge. When a fire threatens the Imogene Museum, curator Meredith Morehouse realizes the frequency and increasing size of the conflagrations aren’t as random as they seem.
Meredith already has her hands full with a brand new endowment for shoring up the Imogene’s crumbling foundation, plus the imminent arrival of the most valuable collection that the museum has scored to date. And Meredith’s significant other, the rugged Pete Sills, wants another kind of date—a non-negotiable wedding date.
Can Meredith and Pete and Sheriff Marge Stettler stop the arsonist before their tinder-dry community goes up in flames?
