It All Comes Out in the Wash

With a combination of farm folks, hippie artisans and high-end jet setter tourists -- the chance for intrigue is always present in Silver Lake.

This is the first book in The Silver Lake Cozy Mystery Series featuring Asia Reynolds (a documentary filmmaker), Elise Snuggles (an African-American cable news person), Sgt. Sheila Rodriguez (local police) and Frankie Franklin (an elderly African-American woman who owns her own private animal rescue and rib shack).

Located on the border of Missouri and Illinois across from Mingo Wildlife Refuge - smackdab on the shores of the mighty Mississippi River - Silver Lake, Illinois is a tourist/farm area next to Cape Girardeau.This little town offers whitewater rafting, hot air balloon rides, bungee jumping, fishing, hunting, camping, winter sports and tours of the nearby Ozarks and Meramec Caverns. Asia, Sheila, Elise and their faithful animal friends work together to keep the peace of this bucolic rural area.
