Featuring The Gift of Lift: Gift shop owner Ray must clear two friends of murder—unless one of them really did it. Gift shop owner Ray Watson is getting too old to face another busy tourist season up in the resort town of Dusky Cove, take care of his ailing wife, and try to respond to his grandson in jail. The one thing he needs is a break—and he finds the lift he needs in the form of a home health nurse. Just when things are looking up for him, Ray once again has to help solve a crime when a souvenir he sold was used as a murder weapon. Ray can’t imagine that the buyer killed anyone, especially not her own father-in-law. But is their new helper a murderer? With two people Ray cares about as the only suspects, can he clear their names? Or did one of them really commit murder? The Gift of Rift: When a rival gift shop owner is killed, Ray must once again clear his name. Ray Watson doesn’t like Clark Dutch. The sleepy resort town of Dusky Cove is a small market for two gift shop owners, so Clark has been Ray’s business rival for many years. Clark has only escalated their rift. But that doesn’t mean Ray wanted Clark dead. When Clark’s body is found, Ray is the prime suspect. The police’s second choice? Judy, Clark’s employee — and Ray’s friend. With her criminal history, Judy’s in even more trouble than Ray. Can he prove their innocence? The Gift of Thrift: Did Ray’s friend lead a double life—or did her murderer kill the wrong person? Things have been looking up for gift shop owner Ray Watson. Summer was successful, his thriftiness has paid off, his grandson might be paroled soon, and most of all, his wife is the healthiest she’s been in over a decade, thanks to her nurse Melissa. But on the last day of Dusky Cove’s tourist season, Melissa is murdered. As they try to figure out who could have done this to their friend, Ray and Katie discover more and more secrets in Melissa’s life. Worst of all, it looks like their friend and confidant was leading a double life. As one final tribute to Melissa, he has to clear her name. But could the accusations be true? Is that why she was murdered? The Gift of Drift: Ray’s grandson is out on parole. But could he kill again? After a year of building a relationship, gift shop owner Ray Watson is getting to know his newly paroled grandson, Shawn. Things seem to be going well—Ray even considers retiring—until another body turns up. This time, it’s Shawn’s ex-wife. Shawn has killed once. Could Ray’s grandson have committed another murder? And if not, can Ray save his grandson from heading right back to prison? Be sure to start with the first book, The Gift of Grift, not included in this collection! Save 25% off list price!
