Guest Sleuth Spotlight: Poppy McQuay—The Mallory Harper Cozy Mystery Collection
Series: A Mallory Harper Cozy Mystery — Boxset, Books 1–3
The Book: Welcome to Willow Creek, where the coffee is strong, the cardamom buns hide deadly secrets, and trouble has a habit of landing squarely in Mallory Harper's lap. She's the reluctant sleuth of the town — the one who never meant to get tangled up in anything, and somehow keeps tripping headfirst into it anyway.
This binge-worthy collection gathers the first three books in Poppy McQuay's Mallory Harper series. With a gossipy best friend, a smirking ex, and a terrier who treats crime scenes like treasure hunts, Mallory has to untangle grudges, dodge small-town gossip, and find the truths nobody wants uncovered — before she becomes the killer's next loose end.
Inside the boxset: Vendors, Villains, and a Very Good Dog (a festival vendor vanishes mid-event), Biscuits and a Body (a late-night errand leads Mallory to a dead baker), and Porchlights and a Murder (a silent street, a dead contractor, and a crash that makes no sense). Perfect for readers who like small-town charm, mischievous pets, and twisty whodunits that reward a full weekend on the couch.

What Readers Are Saying: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Fast-paced fun reads that keep you turning pages to see what will come up next!" — Early reader
“Three cozies, one terrier with a nose for mischief, and a sleuth who can’t seem to stay out of trouble? That’s what a weekend boxset should look like. I’ve got my eye on Willow Creek.”
