Riley just wants to write obituaries, but when her first assignment is the death of a childhood friend, mystery ensues.

The Good Byline

When a beloved cardiologist is found murdered in his Tuttle Corner home, newly minted reporter Riley Ellison is assigned not only to write his obituary, but to cover the murder investigation as well. Riley's desperation to prove herself causes her to blur the line between reporter and investigator... and places her squarely in the killer's path.

A Riley Ellison Mystery

The Bad Break

A modern, illustrated guide on how to resist turning into an old person, even as we age. Because getting older is a privilege, being old is optional.

How Not to Be Old (Even When You Are)

There's been a shocking double murder in Tuttle Corner, Virginia, involving high-profile players from Washington D.C. This brings national attention—and big-city competition for the story—to junior reporter Riley Ellison's little corner of the world. Beloved café owner Rosalee is the prime suspect in the violent crimes, but she insists on her innocence. In exchange for protection, Rosalee gives Riley and her fellow reporter Holman exclusive information that incriminates a powerful person. Meanwhile, Personal Romance ConciergeTM Regina H. is back, offering once-again-single Riley not just online dating expertise but also a new subscription self-care service that promises such benefits as "the sensation of emotional bravery on a micromolecular level." Riley and Holman eventually begin to wonder if Rosalee is telling the truth. They head down separate investigative paths until one of them finds the truth... and one of them finds the killer. This third installment in the Riley Ellison mystery series is rich with all the suspense, humor, small-town charm, and captivating characters that made the first two books a hit with critics and fans alike.
