About this ebook

Living in a haunted lighthouse in the small town of Sea Breeze, California with her two elderly aunts, Agatha Bright has everything she wants. She owns and runs a bookstore / soup shop on the beach, and her soups are loved by everyone in town. Her life is regimented and organized.

But Agatha has secrets that might get her in big trouble. Dark secrets.

When a woman goes missing, the suspicion falls on Agatha and her soups, turning her life upside down. The new detective in town, Remington Cumberbatch, has seen a lot of weird things as a detective in nearby Cannes, California, but he’s in for a surprise with Agatha, her family, and the quirky town of Sea Breeze. He begins to investigate Agatha as the number one suspect, but the attraction is immediate.

When the missing woman turns out to be murdered, the mystery deepens, and Agatha must help Remington find the killer before she winds up in prison…or worse.

The Fear Hunter is the first installment of the Agatha Bright Mysteries, a funny, romantic, small town cozy mystery series with a touch of magic. It is a spin-off series of the Matchmaker Mysteries and the Goodnight Mysteries with some characters from both.

Agatha Bright Mysteries…Agatha Bright has a delicious recipe for murder.

As always I laughed out loud (making several people think I was off my rocker- probably a truth) Love that this is connected to the Good Night series though just through one supporting character in both of them. Her quirky female characters are a ton of fun, and the crazy things they get into are hysterical!

It was fun and interesting, but didn't take itself too seriously. Not a ton of paranormal in it and a few things were left unexplained.

querky & very original style. I loved it. Good pace to story, lots of interesting characters & great story line. The back story is only hinted at & immediately sparks your interest. The hints continue throughout the book to build a fascinating picture of the main character...can't wait to read more
