Where to Start

You should start with the very first book, Scone Cold Killer. This novel sets up Gia Morelli's background—explaining why she fled her life and a messy divorce from a scam-artist husband in New York—and establishes her diner, the All-Day Breakfast Café, in Boggy Creek, Florida. Starting here ensures you understand the character dynamics and the recurring cast of friends, such as the computer-savvy Alfie and her love interest, Police Captain Hunt.
