The first series, The Charlotte Denver Cozy Mystery Series, is set in the fictional English coastal town of St. Eves, and features marina-front café owner and reluctant amateur sleuth, Charlotte Denver. The series was inspired by the time author Sherri Bryan spent running her own marina-front café. Her second series, The Bliss Bay Village Mystery Series, features thirty-nine year old empty-nester, Megan Fallon. The inspiration for this series came from a train journey. The passengers were mainly women, many of whom were talking about their divorces, their search for new jobs, how they were missing their kids after they’d gone to college, and all the other things that were going on in their lives. It was those conversations that inspired Bryan to create Megan. The setting of Bliss Bay Village, along with and its residents, are loosely based on places she visited, and people she met. All her books are written in British English and contain no graphic profanity, violence or sex. Enjoy!

On a peaceful morning in the English coastal town of St. Eves, a handsome stranger meets a gruesome end.

by Sherri Bryan
(16 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense | Mystery | Women’s Fiction
Thirty-nine-year-old Megan Fallon is in a pickle.
Not only is she suffering from empty-nest syndrome, but she’s lost the job she loved, and her fiancé’s run off with her hairdresser.
A complete life change is what’s called for, so when the opportunity to make a new start presents itself following news of a family celebration, Megan is lured back to her childhood home.
With a party to organise, old friends to catch up with, an ex-husband and his jealous wife to avoid, a mischievous uncle on the lookout for adventure, a clumsy childhood acquaintance who has undergone a startling transformation, and a cantankerous tabby cat to contend with, Megan has her hands full.
However, what started off as a leisurely break soon takes a chilling turn when members of the community start getting bumped off at an alarming rate, and Megan finds herself at the heart of an investigation that has her suspecting everyone.
Could the murderer be the local finance advisor, whose misjudged investment recommendation cost his clients their life savings?
Or maybe the village celebrity; a footballer who appears to have at least one skeleton in a cupboard he’d prefer was kept firmly locked?
Or what about a member of a classical music trio who seem to have plenty of secrets they’d rather keep to themselves?
Or is the killer someone else entirely?
As Megan becomes involved in the hunt for a murderer, it’s not long before she finds out that some of the villagers are harbouring other secrets too.
