Book excerpt: A Viola Roberts Cozy Mystery Collection Books Seven - Nine contains the three complete Viola Roberts Cozy Mystery books: The Death in the Drink (Book 7) A local costuming guild has arrived in Astoria for a long weekend of recreating their favorite time period–the Regency. Think Jane Austen, sailing ships, high tea, a costume ball, and…a dead body. When the guild's nastiest member winds up dead in the drink, Viola is convinced it's no accident. And after the husband of the deceased gets into a brawl on the front lawn of the town's most well-known landmark, she knows something's up. Armed with nothing more than a folding fan and her wits, she sets out to unveil the killer before somebody else winds up in Davy Jones's locker. The Victim in the Vineyard (Book 8) Viola Roberts and her boyfriend Lucas Salvatore are off to Oregon wine country for a fun and romantic getaway. A weekend of sunshine and wine tasting is just what the doctor ordered. Everything is going smoothly until an invitation to a swanky party results in one of the guests keeling over dead. One murder leads to another, and one of their friends winds up behind bars. With the police on a wild goose chase, it's up to Viola to figure out who the real culprit is before someone from her past takes their final revenge. The Ghost in the Graveyard (Book 9) Viola Roberts is attending a wedding! Her best friend, Cheryl, is finally marrying the swoony Detective Battersea. And since it's Halloween, they've decided to have a themed wedding, complete with a ghost and a spooky cemetery next door.

With a house full of suspects with perfect alibis, who could have killed the interloper? Viola is determined to find out before her BFF's special day is ruined…or worse.
