Their plans are thwarted, however, when they arrive in a quaint German town and discover a mysterious creature is stalking the grounds of their lodging. As the week unfolds, shocking revelations come to light about the creature, the town, and the lodgers who surround them: a blustery colonel, a pugnacious writer, a dysfunctional young family, and a stately Dutch dame.

Beatrice
Beatrice Case Files Book 1
Genre: Fiction, Cozy Mystery, Humor
Young lawyer, Crockett Cook, arrives at the decrepit Hawsfeffer Estate in rural England where he’s stunned to discover the family patriarch vanished and foul play suspected. A carnival of characters is lusting over the family fortune – a fallen nun, a truculent huntsman, an aloof arsonist, and the overly pretentious, bejeweled matriarch. With his tendency to shriek like a drunken bird in the face of danger, Crockett enlists the help of his master, Petrarch, and the family’s daughter, Brontë, to follow a trail of clues from the uncertain present through the family’s murderous and mysterious past.
Combining multiple genres, Beatrice is more than a cozy mystery - it's a laugh-filled, sleuthing extravaganza.

Hi, I'm Jack! This story is about me, so I hope you like it. It wasn't easy coming out as gay in my small town. There was confusion, heartbreak, a girl with a bob, tears, and laughter. It may give you a kind of sad and wondrous feeling like the inside of a frog... I guess... Maybe it's just better if you see for yourself. My best buddy, Cal, gives the story 7 stars - not sure out of how many - but it sounds good enough for a book that costs a few bucks, so you should probably check it out. Hope I see you inside!
