Lost and Hound: Puppy Puzzles and Double Cross, A Tropical Cozy Mystery
About this ebook
A Hibiscus Cove Cozy Mystery - Book 1
Storm Tinsdale thought her life in the charming seaside town of Hibiscus Cove was as predictable as the tides—until a scruffy, mischievous puppy named Archie tumbled into her world. But Archie's not just any stray; he's a clue on four paws. When the adorable pup leads Storm straight to the body of his murdered owner, her quiet life is turned upside down.
Reluctantly agreeing to care for the orphaned Archie, Storm quickly realizes there’s more to this mystery than meets the eye. The victim had dangerous secrets, a host of enemies, and a past that refuses to stay buried. With Archie as her unlikely partner, Storm dives paw-first into an investigation filled with twists, turns, and plenty of suspects.
But solving a murder in a small town where everyone has something to hide is no walk in the park. As Storm unravels the tangled web of lies, she finds herself stepping into the killer’s sights. Can she solve the case before it’s too late? And will Archie finally find the loving home he deserves—or has his nose for trouble put them both in danger?
Filled with small-town charm, quirky characters, and a tail-wagging sidekick, Lost and Hound is a delightful cozy mystery that will leave you guessing—and smiling—until the very last page.
Fans of heartwarming whodunits and four-legged sleuths won’t want to miss this paw-some debut from the Hibiscus Cove Cozies series!

About the author
Victoria writes what she calls Cozy Mysteries with a Tropical Twist. Her series are set in small South Florida towns, with fun characters and a dog/cat or two. She also has one series that is paranormal cozy and the plans for a second.
Victoria can often be found writing from her South Florida home, looking into her garden, watching the birds and squirrels fight over their next meal, while she writes. Her two cats, Miss Marple, and Fletch, often join her at the desk and each has their assigned spot. Victoria's not sure they are there to supervise her writing or watch the birds.
Victoria and her husband of 38 years share a love of gardening, and together they have written a gardening handbook for Florida gardeners. The Williams are now empty-nesters, giving Victoria plenty of time to dream up the next story.
Until then, you can read any of her current titles in the Citrus Beach Mystery series, Sister Station series, Storm Voices series, Mrs. Avery's Adventures series, Beach House Mysteries, Tattletale Cafe, Professor Higgins Investigates.
