Even small towns have secrets …A Crafty Crime: Book 1Hadley James is finally living the life she’s always wanted: making jam and selling it at the local farmers market. When the local knitting store owner asks her to cat-sit, Hadley doesn’t give it a second thought. What could go wrong? A lot, apparently. Suddenly, her simple cat-sitting job has turned into a murder investigation and life no … investigation and life no longer seems so perfect.
Her twin brother, a deputy sheriff, is on the case but they’ve always done everything together and she can’t help but get involved. Plus, it’s much easier for Hadley to infiltrate the local knitting club than it is for her brother.
Following a trail of crafty clues, the James twins learn that their sleepy town might be harboring more darkness than they could’ve imagined.
A Fresh Kill: Book 2
There’s nothing like the Stoneybrook farmers market in summer. Fresh flowers, organic veggies, delicious jams … and a dead body. When an outsider turns up murdered, all of the evidence points to his rival, Stoneybrook’s beloved florist.
Unable to believe a pillar of their community could be guilty of such a heinous crime, Hadley dives head-first into the investigation. Sure, she’s busy looking for a new house, running her business, and dealing with her ex–who’s back in town–but Hadley is determined to find the truth before the wrong man goes to jail.
A Sweet Death: Book 3
When a local teen goes missing, the town of Stoneybrook fears the worst.
Hadley is sure Miranda’s disappearance has nothing to do with the drug dealer who was found dead in Cascade Ridge. The charming, candy-shop cashier is entirely too sweet to get involved in any of that. But when the clues pile up, Hadley can’t help but draw parallels.
Suddenly autumn isn’t feeling like the cozy season Hadley loves, and the clock is ticking faster than the leaves are falling.
Every moment counts in a missing persons case, but whom do you suspect when the victim is beloved by all?
Or is she?

I’ve put Erin James on my list of favorite authors
I love these books! I fell in love with Stonybrook and it’s characters!
I loved the Stoneybrook Mystery series and would recommend to anyone that likes cozy mysteries. Fun quick read with a dash of humor and romance. Each book is a stand alone.
qualifier- the only reason i did not give the series a five star is due to my own peeve. i truly dislike when virtually every character is given a shortened version of their name in order to endear you to them, make it known how friendly everyone is, have you understand how long someone has known another person etc… i want to become engrossed in the characters because they are so rich i can practically taste them. all that being said, i did very much enjoy the series. i’m a sucker for feline inclusion so that biased me the other direction to keep reading.
I enjoyed it, interesting but light reading
Light reading
Cute,cozy mystery series
I enjoyed the small town characters and the emphasis on different crafts along with the mysteries.
All three books of the series were excellent reads.
Such fun! Nice collection!
I love that it has a true Pacific Northwest feel. The characters are entertaining and original Great read thank you. I’ve read all available Stoneybrook’s can’t wait for the next.
Author includes enough suspects to make mystery interesting. Somewhat simplistic and obvious but still a good light read. Enjoyed the characterizations.
Love this series – eager for the next one
Cute story, likeable characters. Fun cozy mystery.
These were a fun read. Loved the location and the characters.
So enjoyable
Great reading.
I like the cats. Cozies are like eating donuts–comfort food for the brain–and this is a good representative of the genre.
Extremely light reading with numerous predictable/stock elements. Cozy small town Cascade Mountains mysteries.
I like the mysteries, but would like a little more character development.
