The Sara Elizabeth Mason Mysteries, Volume 1: Murder Rents a Room / The Crimson Feather

Murder Rents a Room: Cliff’s Edge mansion, in historic Greene County, Alabama, is a bit run down, to be sure, but a line had been drawn at dead bodies–at least until now. When drop dead gorgeous vamp Kitty Leigh Bolling–on her third husband and already on the lookout for a fourth–turns up at the old ancestral home, temperatures run high and the fur starts to fly. With southern passions proving positively murderous and bodies piling up at Cliff’s Edge, can attractive widow Kate Frazier, trying to recover from the untimely death of her husband and to make a go of things at Cliff’s Edge by taking in paying guests (including wanly handsome visitor Alex Dexter), avoid becoming Murder’s next victim? Kate had better hope that wily local sheriff Bill Davies catches the killer soon, before Cliff’s Edge becomes known as Death’s Head!

The Crimson Feather: Convalescing artist Ann Bartley has returned home to wartime Tuscaloosa, Alabama, from Chicago at the urgent though cryptic plea of her married adopted sister, Jean Tolliver. In Tuscaloosa Ann finds tensions running high–murderously high–among the Tolliver family and certain distinguished members of the faculty at the University of Alabama. When Jean’s wealthy father-in-law dies a highly suspicious death during a hunt in neighboring Greene County, Alabama, it’s up to local sheriff Bill Davies to put an end to one vicious slay ride by catching yet another clever killer. While Sheriff Davies scents the clues to a dastardly crime, can Ann save her sister’s sanity–not to mention her own life?
