The Faraday Murder Series

Carrie and Charles Faraday are a married couple who continually have a dead body interrupting their ordinary life.

The couple married late in life, but since their marriage, they’ve solved five murders. They met while searching for the murderer of Charles’s brother Jamie in Take a Dive for Murder. Then Carrie faced charges for the murder of the Playboy son of a prominent family in Take Stock in Murder, and last summer, the couple solved a murder that involved her father’s computer company in Take a Byte Out of Murder.

After solving three murders, they were ready to relax. They combine a vacation at Millford Manor with helping the owners solve some unusual activities. But innocent spirit sightings turn to murder in Take the Spirit of Murder. While solving real murders, Carrie wrote a mystery. The day after her book signing, there’s a dead body in the yard of the hostess. Next to the body is Carrie’s book, and the duo sets out to solve the crime in Take a Book of Murder.

Join our two amateur sleuths in these lighthearted, cozy mysteries, which are full of danger, suspense, and a satisfying plot with unexpected twists.
