Snapshots and Secrets

Author: Cindy Bell
Series: Juniper Valley Series, Book 1
Genre: Cozy Mystery

Dani Reed came to Juniper Valley, Colorado, for a fresh start. A nature photographer with a conservation grant, an old ranger cabin to call home, and two dogs who couldn’t be more different. Maggie, a nine-year-old Irish Setter who treats every walk like a personal inconvenience. Jim, a young German Shepherd who washed out of police dog training but never got the memo.

Dani expected quiet mornings, golden light on the peaks, and peaceful walks beneath the aspens. She didn’t expect to find a body.

Now Dani is dealing with the murder of a local, a town full of secrets, and people who’d rather she put the camera down. But Dani’s never been good at minding her own business. And with Jim’s nose for trouble and Maggie’s talent for judging everyone they meet, she might just get to the truth, if the killer doesn’t get to her first.

Snapshots and Secrets is the first book in the Juniper Valley Cozy Mystery series. If you love small-town mysteries, mountain settings, lovable dogs with big personalities, and a sleuth who can’t leave a good mystery alone, you’ll fall in love with Dani and the world of Juniper Valley.

Cameras and Christmas Chaos

Series: Juniper Valley Series, Book 2

Dani’s picked up the perfect winter job, photographing the historic mountain lodge for its grand reopening. And she’s not the only one with a camera. A television crew is filming there too, starring Hailey, a hometown girl turned travel show celebrity. Even Dani’s dogs, Maggie and Jim, have been recruited to appear on the show. Maggie tolerates the attention. Jim is convinced he was born for it.

Then Hailey is found dead, and the festive season comes to a sudden halt.

The police are calling it a tragic accident, and they’ve warned Dani to leave it alone. But the lodge is full of people with reasons to lie, and Dani’s never been good at minding her own business. With Jim’s nose for trouble and Maggie’s habit of judging everyone in the room, Dani might just get to the truth before the snow melts. Still, she’d better watch her step. Because the killer knows exactly who’s been taking pictures.

Cameras and Christmas Chaos is the second book in the Juniper Valley Cozy Mystery series. If you love small-town mysteries, snowy mountain settings, lovable dogs with big personalities, and a sleuth who can’t leave a good mystery alone, you’ll fall in love with Dani and the world of Juniper Valley.
