The Barrington Bay series features mysteries and murders surrounding a small harbor village in Cumbria. Join Remy Lane as she strives to solve cozy conundrums and heinous whodunits alongside Inspector Tremaine, PC Paul Albright, and members of a tight-knit community set against rural pastures, historical landmarks, and the unforgiving sea.
The first book of this series, The Stars Prevail, unveils a cozy case along the precipitous northwestern edge of England. An amateur American sleuth, a vested detective inspector, and a cast of curious residents take us on a tour of the coastal countryside—past the Solway Firth, along Hadrian’s Wall, and down the twisted lanes of a village—that somehow lands us among smugglers of illicit antiquities.

The second novel, The Tide Turns, expands upon the lead characters’ relationships while introducing fresh cast members and an intriguing crime to the bucolic British landscape. Throughout both novels, people are bound together by common frailties and their need to adapt to an ever-changing world as tourists discover and devour their quaint countryside.
The third book, The Sheltering Stones, continues the Barrington Bay book series when a murder is linked to cultural antiquities taken from their homeland by missionaries in the 1950's and 60's to be housed in a seminary's museum. While the number of seminarians has decreased over time, the value of the illicit antiquities has increased. Are they worth killing for?
