Thea Olson planned to spend the Fourth of July in her quirky hometown of Why, North Dakota catching up with family and eating too much potato salad. But when her cousin is accused of murdering her business partner, Thea’s holiday takes a deadly turn.
Armed with curiosity, a growing suspect list, and an unexpected crash course in decorative planners—think stickers, washi tape, and glitter pens galore—Thea must track down the real killer before her cousin’s freedom gets permanently erased.
Murder, mayhem, and a touch of magic in the heart of North Dakota.
Planning for Murder is the prequel novella for a humorous cozy mystery series full of eccentric characters, North Dakota charm, and a pinch of paranormal mischief. Perfect for fans of bookish whodunits and critters with attitude.
