Secrets and Scrabble Box Set

Ellery Page, aspiring screenwriter, Scrabble champion, and guy-with-worst-luck-in-the-world-when-it-comes-to-dating, is ready to make a change. So when he learns he‘s inherited both a failing bookshop and a falling-down mansion in the quaint seaside village of Pirate‘s Cove in Rhode Island, it‘s full steam ahead! Sure enough, the village is charming, its residents amusingly eccentric, and widowed police chief Jack Carson is decidedly yummy (though possibly as straight as he is stern). However, the bookstore is failing, the mansion is falling down, and there‘s that little drawback of a homicide rate higher than the village of St. Mary Mead and Midsomer County put together! This collection includes the first four novels in the Secrets and Scrabble series. Book 1 - Murder in Pirate‘s Cove When Police Chief Jack Carson learns unpleasant bookseller Trevor Maples was killed with the pirate‘s cutlass hanging over the door of rival Ellery Page‘s bookstore, Ellery jumps from cute newcomer to prime suspect. Book 2 - Secret at Skull House Unlike everyone else in Pirate‘s Cove, Ellery is less than thrilled when famed horror author Brandon Abbott announces he‘s purchased legendary Skull House and plans to live there permanently. Ellery and Brandon have history and Ellery has to wonder what Brandon is really up to? Book 3 - Mystery at the Masquerade As his relationship with Police Chief Carson seems to be dead in the water, Ellery is grateful for a little flattering attention from the village‘s most eligible bachelor, but any hopes of romance hit the shoals when murder makes an appearance at the annual Masquerade. Book 4 - Scandal at the Salty Dog Who or what is haunting elderly and eccentric Miss Blackwell, what, if anything, does it have to do with mysterious goings-on at the Salty Dog pub-and why is any of it Ellery‘s problem?
