Sockeye County has a lot of nooks and crannies. Combine a vast expanse of mostly wilderness with a sparse and fiercely independent populace, and—naturally—the sheriff’s department is stretched thin. Which makes it a terrific place to commit a murder. And hide the evidence. In theory.
Except there’s a witness. One small for his age but remarkably resilient witness. Who’s found shelter in an empty fifth-wheel trailer near a house where a nice couple named Pete and Meredith seem to be settling in. If only that nosy hound dog would just leave him alone.
But Sheriff Marge Stettler isn’t about to let outsiders turn her scenic jurisdiction into a body dumping ground. Not even while her own constituents have her hopping from one crisis to the next. Which is why she’s enlisted Meredith, the newly christened Mrs. Pete Stills and curator of the eclectic Imogene Museum, to produce an exhibit of the area’s goriest and most notorious crimes—as a warning to all and sundry that greed and villainy don’t pay.

Review
What Amazon reviewers are saying about the Imogene Museum cozy mystery series:
"The characters are great, the story is tightly woven with a wonderful mystery and is written with a wry sense of humor. I highly recommend the series for anyone who enjoys a quick moving and believable who-dun-nit. More, Jerusha, PLEASE!"
"The Imogene Museum mystery series represents cozy mysteries at their finest. Engaging characters. Stories that keep you hooked from start to finish. And around and through we have the regional geography making its presence felt."
"I kind of stumbled on these books and after reading the first one I read them all over a span of three days. I could not put them down!"
"I love this series of stories. If you are looking for that perfect mixture of wit, humor, and mystery then this is it. I find the author's writing intriguing and love her details on the scenery. She definitely makes me want to visit what she describes."
"This is one of my favorite series. It just feels like coming home."
"Continued suspense & mystery with home-town characters that I've grown to love. I held my breath through several parts!"
"I continue to LOVE the relationship of our heroine and her man. Love the old museum, love the recurring characters...who wouldn't love the crotchety but lovable sheriff?!"
"When I grow up, I want to be Sheriff Marge."
"A great series, set in beautiful country. This series gets better with each book. Great likable characters and mysteries that will keep you guessing. I can't wait for book seven!!"
"This was such a fun series to read. I wish there was more. I got nothing done at my house and very little sleep while I read all 6 books back to back. It's been quite a while that I wanted to keep reading that much that I lost sleep over it."
About the Author
Jerusha writes cozy mystery series which are set in two of her favorite places - the Columbia River Gorge and the dense forests of SW Washington. She spends most of her time seated in front of her attic window, engaged in daydreaming with intermittent typing or pinning Post-It notes to corkboards (better safe than sorry!). She also considers maple-frosted, cream-filled doughnuts an essential component of her writer's toolkit.
