Was the enticing and alluring Eleanor Prestwould merely a party girl with a trust fund and wander lust or a wealthy philanthropist? It wasn’t as if young physician Matthew Paine wanted to know until the peaceful life he’d chosen was interrupted, first by an office visit from Eleanor at his family practice on the outskirts of Raleigh, North Carolina, and then by a murder.
Matthew was happily enjoying his career, playing whatever musical instrument he could get his hands on, coffee with lots of sugar, his family and friends, and history – though not exactly in that order. A loyal friend, Matthew is always helpful and that’s exactly what gets him mixed up in the chaos of Eleanor’s life. Nothing about Eleanor, Matthew soon learns, is what it seemed.
As he’s drawn into the murder investigation, soft-spoken Matthew is thrown together with stoic Homicide Detective Warren Danbury and subjected to his staccato questions and responses. Skeptical of Matthew initially, Danbury comes to rely on his perspective.
Join Matthew and Danbury in Dead Spots, the first in the Matthew Paine Mystery series, as they investigate a passionate murder...or two.
Allan Lingle, an eccentric but iconic figure in the small town of Peak on the outskirts of Raleigh, North Carolina, was loved by most people and a threat to none. So, why would anyone want to murder him?
Matthew Paine has his quiet life interrupted when Homicide Detective Warren Danbury takes Allan’s murder personally and enlists Matthew’s help with the investigation. Matthew, a young physician in a family practice in Peak, signed on as a medical consultant with the police department and he always honors his commitments.
After the senseless murder, residents of the small town of Peak don’t feel safe and the rumor mill is working overtime. Children in the town, and probably a lot of adults who wouldn't admit it, think that Allan was possibly a specter and the old historic house where he lived is definitely haunted.
Join Matthew and Danbury in Prefer Death, second in the Matthew Paine Mystery series, as they uncover more far-reaching crimes in their attempt to figure out who murdered Allan Lingle and to prevent any further havoc from being wreaked on their beloved town.
