Claire Malloy Mysteries

Joan Hess’s humorous cozy mystery series takes place in the small and colorful town of Farberville, Arkansas, where widow and single mother Claire Malloy struggles with keeping her small local bookstore in the black. But she also must deal with the drama of her young teenage daughter Caron (WHO SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS), being married to Deputy Police Chief Peter Rosen, and murder.

And at least for those puzzling murder investigations, there’s a solution—one that she’s determined to uncover.

“If you’ve never spent time with Claire Malloy and her crew, I feel sorry for you. Stop reading this nonsense and hop to it. You’ll see wit and humanity all wrapped up in a nifty murder mystery.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben (on Pride v. Prejudice)
