Whistling River Lodge Mysteries Books
Running a Resort Hotel Can Be Murder Glenna McLain has her hands full at the Whistling River Lodge with dastardly ducks, misbehaving poodles, a kleptomaniac guest, and a lacing convention.

Glenna searches for the murderer, but can she solve the mystery before the killer strikes again?
Buried Secrets Running the Whistling River Inn and Golf Resort should be getting easier for Glenna McClain now that the Board of Directors has purchased a sixty acre clear cut to expand the golf course. But when she arranges for an organization of steam tractor enthusiasts to pull the stumps with their ancient machine monsters, no one expected them to unearth a skeleton; an old skeleton with a noose around its neck and a bullet hole in the head. Is it Aloysius Whistler, the founder of the lodge who committed suicide on black Friday in 1929? Or a more recent murder? All the publicity Glenna carefully arranged to cover the tractor pull becomes a feeding frenzy that brings in semi-retired IRA assassins, an ATF agent, and elusive Mob representatives, all with agendas to prove they had nothing to do with an antique murder. Glenna and her sexy security chief, Craig Knudsen, have to figure out the old scheme as well as new crimes to keep the reputation of the lodge in good order. But will Glenna's reluctance to commit to a new relationship be overcome by Craig or the equally attractive ATF agent?

The Cascadia Paranormal Society invades the Whistling River Lodge, but they are searching for more than ghosts. Albert Allegheny demands that Lodge-owners Glenna McClain and her new husband Craig Knudsen turn over all the evidence they have collected on Bigfoot. She has spotted a few suspicious things in the forest, but evidence? No way. Except the pandemic has cost the local community dearly, and the dollars this obnoxious man represents could help the town. Then a member of the Society shows up dead, and the resident ghosts go to ground. That means cancelling the Halloween party and Masque Ball, threatening Glenna’s bottom line even more—not to mention the poor night clerk accused of the crime. Then Glenna discovers Albert Allegheny is a dangerous fraud out to steal her business. To save her lodge and her community, Glenna has to find the murderer and expose Allegheny for what he is. With a little help from her new husband—the hotel security chief—her best friend—the local resident witch—and some surprise dancing guests, the lodge community team up to solve the crime and save the lodge. The ghosts have few other surprises in mind as well.
