Fiona Fleming Cozy Mysteries

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. A Poo Poo Kind of Morning I tried not to look down the mouth of hell staring back at me from inside the glaringly pristine outer ceramic shell of the white throne, my throat catching, stomach doing half flips and a rather impressive rollover routine that would have gotten at least a 9.5 even from the Russian judges. Instead, I forced myself to smile and swallow and remind myself the elbow length yellow rubber gloves grasping the handle of the standard issue plunger were all that stood between me and Pooageddon. Suck it up, Fee. Big girl panties and adulting and all that. “At what point,” I waved the dripping plunger, wincing as droplets of yuck flew, “did I think owning a bed and breakfast was going to be glamorous and romantic?” Fiona Fleming is in so much trouble. Her recently inherited bed and breakfast might not actually be hers thanks to the underhanded misdealings of the local real estate bully. Despite her grandmother's last will and testament, Fee might me out of luck and on the street before she even gets settled. But when her new enemy floats belly up in her koi pond, she's the prime suspect in his murder! Can she uncover who the real killer is before the smoking hot new sheriff puts her behind bars instead of asking her out on a date? Dive into book one of the Fiona Fleming Cozy Mysteries, and don't miss the exciting sequels!

Chapter 168: Questions for Lucy

I scowled at Crew when Mom let him in, as he took off his fur hat and nodded to my mother, voice low but carrying.

"Evening, Lucy," he said, glancing up when Petunia waddled to greet him, then to me before he met Mom's eyes again. "I'm sorry to bother you. Fee's told you about the murder?" Mom nodded. "You'll understand then why I have some questions?"

I wanted to be mad at him, but his tone was careful, kind, respectful. So I didn't say anything when Mom gestured for him to enter. He even took a moment to slip out of his boots, to scratch Petunia behind her ears as she moaned her happy pug pleasure at his touch. When he joined us at last sock feet sliding over the polished hardwood, jacket zipper humming when he undid it, I did my best not to cut him any slack for what he was about to do. His job, but still.

Still.
