The Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery Collection II by Kassandra Lamb Pdf

A second collection of Books 5 to 7 starring service dog trainer, Marcia Banks and her four-legged best friend and mentor dog, Buddy—including a Halloween romp with a seriously scary twist and a visit to a tropical island that turns deadly. In Patches In The Rye, service dog trainer Marcia goes a bit off the rails for a while, as she’s tempted to try her hand at being a private detective. Nothing about her new client is what she expected—from the posh house that says family money to his paranoid preoccupation with his sister’s love life—but when he dangles a fat retainer check under her nose, she can’t resist. The deeper she digs, however, the more questions arise. The most pressing one being…who’s driving the black SUV that keeps trying to turn Marcia and Buddy into roadkill? In The Legend of Sleepy Mayfair, Marcia’s adopted town is once again driving her a little nuts. No sooner has she moved her horse into the new Mayfair Riding Stable than its eccentric owner, Edna Mayfair decides to turn the barn into a haunted house for Halloween. Meanwhile, an anonymous prankster is haunting Mayfair and the local postmistress has a strange request for Marcia. All this, along with her new role of godmother to her best friend’s adorable twins, is a bit overwhelming. But it’s nothing compared to what’s coming as Halloween approaches…. In The Sound and the Furry, a tropical paradise turns deadly. Marcia thinks it will be the perfect arrangement—stay on her client’s beautiful private island while conducting the human phase of the training. But a tranquil getaway this is not, thanks to two resident ghosts, a sour-puss housekeeper, and her client’s shaky marriage. Then Mother Nature ups the anté when a freak late-season hurricane traps her and her dogs on the island…with a killer. Each story is a complete mystery, but the characters are best understood and enjoyed if the stories are read in order.

The Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery Collection I by Kassandra Lamb Pdf

Training service dogs shouldn’t be dangerous... Unless you are dog trainer Marcia Banks. She has two personality traits that represent both her best and her worst selves—she can’t let a “wrong” stand without at least trying to make it “right,” and she’s nosy. In To Kill A Labrador (no dogs die!), she’s reunited with her first trainee, a Black Labrador/Rottie mix named Buddy. When his former Marine owner is accused of murdering his wife, Marcia is called in to dog-sit. Outraged that his small town is assuming him guilty until proven innocent, she tries to uncover the real killer. Even after the hunky local sheriff politely tells her to butt out, Marcia keeps poking around...until the killer finally pokes back. In Arsenic and Young Lacy, Marcia deals with a challenging client, a neurotic former Army nurse who is being stalked. When Marcia receives a bizarre warning to stay away from her client and even sweet Lacy is caught up in the stalker’s maliciousness, Marcia is torn. The young woman needs her service dog, and Marcia needs the training fee to bolster her perpetually tight finances, but how can she put her dogs at risk? Not to mention herself... In The Call of The Woof, Marcia’s former client, a motorcycle enthusiast and traumatic brain injury sufferer, is accused of robbery and murder. Marcia and Buddy set out to clear his name, fighting misconceptions about bikers and TBI along the way. Her boyfriend isn’t very happy, though, that she’s putting herself at risk...again...and taking him along on her wild ride. In A Mayfair Christmas Carol, when Mayfair, Florida’s newly-minted Chamber of Commerce goes off the rails and decides to build an ice skating rink for a Christmas extravaganza, a decades-old skeleton is uncovered and its secrets threaten more than the town’s Christmas plans. Marcia is determined to help her police detective boyfriend solve the mystery—whether he wants her help or not. Can she and Buddy keep the ghost of Christmas past from destroying what is left of Mayfair’s founding family? (This is the first of several holiday novellas that are an integral part of the series. They focus more on the town where Marcia lives than on her veteran clients.)

Marcia feels compelled to investigate to clear her friend…and to make sure Jess isn’t the next target. In Lord of the Fleas, Marcia’s agenda while staying with her best (human) friend, Becky in Williston, Florida is simple: spoil her godchildren and train her newest dog’s veteran owner, a vendor at the local flea market. But when the flea market’s owner is killed, her client is among the suspects. Marcia believes he’s innocent, but she soon finds that the flea market is hiding dangerous secrets. In My Funny Mayfair Valentine, a charming newcomer makes a play for Susanna Mayfair, the sheltered niece of the town's matriarch, and Aunt Edna begs Marcia to investigate the man’s past. Turns out he’s a wanted criminal, but he claims it’s a case of mistaken identity. While Marcia’s detective husband attempts to untangle the truth, Marcia worries about her friend’s mental health, unaware that she may be in physical danger as well. Will Marcia figure it out in time to protect Susanna…and herself?

The Sound and The Furry by Kassandra Lamb Pdf

A tropical paradise turns deadly. Service dog trainer Marcia Banks had thought it was the perfect arrangement—stay on her client’s private Gulf-coast island and get the human phase of the training done more quickly, while enjoying a much-needed break from the chaos of house renovations back home. This certainly wasn't the tranquil getaway she’d envisioned, however. Two resident ghosts, a sour-puss housekeeper and bearing witness to her client’s shaky marriage are bad enough. But within days, she’s discovered even deeper and darker layers of dysfunction. Via emails and static-filled phone calls, fiancé Will Haines convinces her to get herself and her dog Buddy out of there, but before Marcia can accomplish this, a late-season hurricane abruptly changes course and strands them on the island... with a murderer.

Lethal Assumptions by Kassandra Lamb Pdf

There's a new female cop on the scene! Judith Anderson’s no-nonsense attitude and confidence served her well in her climb to homicide lieutenant in the Baltimore County PD, but that confidence is shaken when she finds herself one step behind a serial killer—just eight days into her new job as Chief of Police in a small Florida city. The first victim, a female college student, may be a case of wrong place, wrong time. But the bodies keep coming, with a mishmash of MOs, and the murders may be linked to various cases in nearby Jacksonville. While Judith assumed the CoP job would be challenging, she’s finding it harder than she imagined to establish her authority without alienating and be more hands-on without micro-managing. Plus, evidence is stacking up that there’s a leak in her department. Who can she trust? If she makes the wrong assumption, the wrong decision, it may be her last. In a race to save lives, she’ll draw on every talent and instinct that made her a star in Baltimore. But will it be enough this time? Fans of JA Jance’s Sheriff Joanna Brady and JD Robb’s Eve Dallas will love Judith Anderson!

Another three-book bundle, and a bonus novella—follow Kate Huntington and her new PI husband as they deal with the paparazzi, an international assassin, and a 9/11 first responder accused of murder, plus a locked-room mystery on a Caribbean cruise. CELEBRITY STATUS: Kate’s PI husband, Skip Canfield, has his first celebrity client, a pop singer with a stalker who has a twisted concept of love. Soon, Skip and his family are being hounded by paparazzi and someone is planting evidence that Kate and their lawyer friend Rob are lovers. Struggling to deal with this unwanted attention and a stalker who will stop at nothing, Kate and Skip must face the reality that they can’t always keep those they love from harm. COLLATERAL CASUALTIES: A former psychotherapy client reaches out to Kate and reveals a foreign diplomat’s dark secret, then dies of “natural causes” days later. Was the man delusional or is she now privy to dangerous information? Soon she realizes he was quite sane…and he was murdered. Now, she and anyone she might have told are targets of a ruthless assassin bent on protecting the ambassador’s secret. ZERO HERO: On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the media replays the videos again and again, and a national hero’s life unravels. When the first responder—already struggling with PTSD and addiction—is accused of murder, Kate finds herself going above and beyond to help him. She and her PI husband are thrust into a deadly world of drugs, prostitutes and hired killers, and end up questioning who they are…and what it means to be brave. Cruel Capers on the Caribbean: Trouble seems to find Kate Huntington, even on a Caribbean cruise. She befriends socialite Cora Beall, who’s having relationship problems. When Cora’s corpse is found in a cabin locked from the inside, the ship’s captain assumes it’s suicide. But Kate is skeptical; the evidence points more and more toward murder. But how did the killer get out of a locked room? (Note: The first two books in this collection were part of a previous 5-book bundle.)
