Every librarian’s dream is to live within the pages of a book. For Rose Martin, that dream becomes a daunting reality.
Had Rose only that day bemoaned her simple life? Yes. Is the dating pool painfully slim for an alopecia girlie? Sure. Would she love to go on a little adventure and along the way find love? Of course.
But falling into a copy of The Great Gatsby on the 100th anniversary of Fitzgerald’s best-known novel isn’t high on her to-do list.
Yet, here she is, attending one of the fanciest functions in West Egg. And witnessing a murder.
Rose scrambles to untangle the mystery of the killer wreaking havoc at Gatsby’s lavish party with the begrudging help of Detective Theodore Lane—a man none too fond of Rose’s story of being from “the real world.”
Rose did say she wanted an adventure . . . but a murder wasn’t exactly what she had in mind.
A Rose in West Egg is a cozy Christian murder mystery with romance.

Accepting God’s timing has never been so hard.
When thirty-nine-year-old Adeline Parker’s sisters send her to a baking retreat at a castle nestled in the hills of Kentucky, she’s relieved to spend Christmas away from the reminder of her mother’s passing. Her Christmas plans include:
- Exploring the festive charms of River Cottage
- Eating her weight in bear claws and cinnamon rolls
- Learning how to bake Bûche De Noël
What isn’t part of the plan is meeting Luke Bauman.
Luke has always felt called to the mission field. He never expected that when the door finally opened to go to Turkey, he would have a reason to stay in Kentucky. At forty-one, he’s spent most of his adult life focused on carpentry, keeping Reginald the rooster in line, and checking in on his widowed mother. Luke thought he was ready for change—but that was before Adeline stumbled (or sprinted) into his life.
Adeline refuses to distract Luke from his calling, but is there a chance that their meeting is all part of God’s good timing?

Jude Carpenter likes his life. Sure, his mom is a little intense sometimes, and sure, it would be great if his older brother would help out more on their family dairy farm, but overall, Jude is happy.

Enter Mona Montgomery, whose life revolves around her cat, Shakespeare, the Beatles, and church. There’s not much else to do in Clearwater. Then she meets Jude, and life gets interesting.
With Jude’s family losing their dairy farm, Mona is desperate to help. Though helping isn’t as easy as she had hoped it would be. Jude’s mom distrusts the Montgomery family, and that includes Mona. Mona’s family did split a whole church, after all.
