It's margaritas, Mariachi, and murder in Mexico!
Cameron Cripps Hayman is on vacation in the Yucatan Peninsula, taking a break from life as an amateur sleuth in Metamora, Indiana. With her crew back home busy running their shops in the little canal town, Cameron relaxes by the pool, walks along the beach, and tours Mayan ruins-until her whole trip gets ruined by a murder.
She should've known something was up when a little chihuahua started following her around the resort. When Cameron follows the feisty little dog to a secluded area of rocks and palm trees, she discovers her new acquaintance lying dead with her head buried in the sand.
Cam's police officer husband might be used to her sticking her nose into his cases, but the State Investigation Police in the Yucatan aren't so welcoming of Cameron's help. The other American tourists staying at the resort, however, happen to be more than happy to chat about the murder, their theories, and rumors they've heard about the victim.
Spending her vacation solving another murder wasn't on Cameron's travel agenda, but when a sweet little dog drags her into the case, how can she refuse?
What do a dead judge, a bird organization, and a homeless woman have in common? That's what Cameron Cripps Hayman would like to know.
When Judge Lundstrom is murdered in her office with her very own gavel leaving her little Pekingese, Bailiff, behind, Cam and her crew set out to solve the case. But with Canal Days keeping her team busy, and a falling out between her last two Action Agency members, Cam finds herself searching for a new partner in crime.
Josie Jensen, a mobile vet in town for the weekend, fits the bill. Between Josie's keen intuition and her knowledge of the shady bird conservation group that seems to be running the county election for judge, the two of them set out to catch the killer before he flies the coop!
When a motorcycle club rolls into town and the leader opens a biker bar, it stirs up more than dust in Metamora.
The little canal town is known for its grist mill, antique shops, and bed and breakfasts, not for hosting a parade of noisy motorcycles. Cameron Cripps Hayman's neighbors are up in arms about the Night Hounds Motorcycle Club and even start a petition to get the mayor to ban the new establishment. But the mayor says he doesn't have the power to kick a business owner out and there's nothing in the town statutes against opening a bar.
When the Night Hound's leader is run off the road and left for dead, his wife comes to Cam and her Action Agency to track down the hit and run suspect. With her team down to two members, will they be able to solve the case as they've always done in the past? They'll give it their best rip-roaring try!
Wedding crashers and a dead pastor? It's another Metamora disaster.
June wedding bells are ringing! Cameron Cripps Hayman is the matron of honor and her five furry good boys are all ushers, so what could go wrong?
The day before the wedding the new pastor is found hanging from the choir loft. It's ruled a suicide by the police, but Cam and her Action Agency suspect foul play. Cam's police officer husband warns her to not stir up trouble where none exists, but when the pastor's home is ransacked, it's clear to Cam that she was murdered.
With the whole town geared up for the big day, Cam and her team set out to tie a knot in the case before the honeymoon is canceled. But the killer hasn't found what he's searching for and isn't about to let a group of amateur sleuths scare him off-he'll try to scare them off first.
When the Dogs are Away, the Trash Pandas Play!
Things are always odd and strange in Metamora, but when the proprietor of the curiosity shop, Odd and Strange Metamora, hosts a spring carnival showing off his collection of oddities, the day goes right in the garbage-or rather, out of the garbage when a raccoon overturns a trash can in the middle of town scattering human bones around the park.
When it's discovered that the remains date back over a century, rumors start to run as rampant as the pack of furry bandits taking over the town at night.
Cameron Cripps Hayman thought she'd have a quiet week with her canine crew away at dog training, but her relaxation is short lived when another possible murder in town needs solving. With her team, the Metamora Action Agency, on the case, they'll piece the mystery together bone-by-bone and lead-by-lead, and maybe even find a way to get rid of the trash pandas in the process!
It's winter in Metamora, so naturally, Cameron Cripps-Hayman finds a body on ice!
The whole town has turned up for the Winter Festival, and Cameron has even managed to get television coverage and an Olympian to host the inaugural games. But the local Native American Council isn't happy about the ski course set up on the earth mounds built by their ancestors and pickets the downhill skiing event. Just when Cameron thinks things couldn't get worse, a night of hot cocoa and an ice carving competition turns deadly. Ice picks make good murder weapons, and the festival's Olympian host won't be going out for any more medal wins.
With a national icon dead, the Native American community up in arms, and the whole debacle televised, the only way for Cameron to save face with her festival is to find the murderer and make amends on behalf of the entire town.
New to the historic town of Metamora, Indiana, Cameron Cripps-Hayman is looking to make friends with her neighbors. What she isn't looking for is one of their bodies floating in the canal.
When she and her estranged husband, the town sheriff, are both named suspects for the murder, Cameron takes solving the crime into her own hands, teaming up with her eccentric coworkers who dub themselves The Metamora Action Agency.
As if hunting for a murderer with two high school geniuses, the town drunk, and an elderly kleptomaniac isn't hard enough, Cameron adopts the five mangy guard dogs of her deceased neighbor. But maybe a stint at playing gatekeeper is just what she needs to come face-to-face with the killer and save another neighbor from being the next victim.
Cameron Cripps-Hayman has stepped in it again.
Cam is taken aback when she stumbles upon a murdered neighbor behind her sister's shop, Dog Diggity. The timing couldn't be worse, as it's only a week until the store's grand opening during Canal Days, the biggest festival of the year.
When the police arrest her handyman, Cameron knows they have the wrong suspect, so she and the rest of her Metamora Action Agency set out to crack the case.
With a flood warning and a murderer on the loose, she and her team need to work their tails off to uncover the real killer before the town's big money-making weekend gets snuffed out.
