Boxed Set Books 1-5

Dear Reader,

Welcome to Serendipity Springs and the first five books in the Mah Jongg Mystery series!

Mah jongg can generate killer competition. But murder? The answer is yes when it comes to four retired Central Florida friends, who find themselves solving baffling homicides in between the games they love. Whether you know how to play the game or not, join these intrepid seniors as they take turns leading their own private investigations. It turns out the mental agility they use to strategize each play is the perfect tool for tracking down murderers.

I’ve loved creating Syd, Marianne, Micki and Kat and figuring out what will happen to them next. I hope you’ll get just as involved in their investigations.
