The Madoc and Janet Rhys Mysteries Volume One: A Pint of Murder, Murder Goes Mumming, and A Dismal Thing to Do

The first three cozy mysteries in a series featuring a Royal Canadian Mountie and his resourceful wife. Originally published under the pseudonym Alisa Craig, these three tales present witty murder cases set in New Brunswick. In A Pint of Murder, Janet Wadman discovers her friend Agatha was murdered with a jar of tainted green beans, leading to another death. Height-challenged Mountie Madoc Rhys proves capable, and Janet is impressed. In Murder Goes Mumming, Madoc proposes to Janet, but their Christmas plans are disrupted by murder as the engaged couple investigates. In A Dissal Thing to Do, Janet witnesses an accident on back roads and seeks help in a barn, only to have her car stolen and face an attempt on her life. Madoc arrives to help her stop a deadly crime wave. Described as "the epitome of the 'cozy' mystery" (Mostly Murder), the collection showcases the sleuthing couple solving cases in Canada's austere landscape.
