Elizabeth Penney Synopses: Hems & Homicide by Elizabeth Penney is the first book in the Apron Shop Mysteries series. Iris Buckley is ready to start fresh – and she’s stitching her future together one apron at a time. After the loss of her beloved grandfather, Iris returns to her charming hometown in Maine to support her grandmother Anne and finally turn her online handmade apron business into a brick-and-mortar boutique. Together, they open Ruffles & Bows, a shop full of vintage linens, stylish new designs, and plenty of small-town charm – including a resident orange tabby cat.

But when a long-buried skeleton is discovered in the shop’s basement, everything unravels. Anne identifies the remains as a friend from long ago – and then their shady landlord turns up dead, making Anne the prime suspect in a case that has everyone talking.

With the help of her lifelong best friend Madison and Ian Stewart – her high school crush who’s only gotten more handsome with time – Iris dives into the mystery. As secrets come to light, she must patch together the truth to clear her grandmother’s name… before her dream shop becomes a crime scene.

Bodies and Battlements is the first book in Elizabeth Penney’s Ravensea Castle series. Herbalist Nora Asquith is thrilled to welcome the first guests to Ravensea Castle, her family’s ancestral home turned charming bed and breakfast in the idyllic village of Monkwell, Yorkshire. But the grand opening takes a grim turn when Hilda Dibble – a prominent local busybody and vocal opponent of the castle’s transformation – is found dead in the knot garden the very next morning. Now, not only is Nora’s business in jeopardy – she’s also the prime suspect.

Hilda had fought the hotel conversion from the start, and her clashes with Nora were no secret. To complicate matters further, one of the guests is none other than Detective Inspector Finlay Cole, newly arrived in the village and suddenly saddled with a high-profile murder investigation.

Determined to clear her name, Nora teams up with her theatrical sister Tamsyn to do some sleuthing of their own. With a little help from the castle’s resident ghost, Sir Percival, and some well-timed revelations from beyond the grave, the sisters dig into the secrets of their guests – and uncover startling connections between past and present. Can they solve the mystery before their grand opening becomes their grand closing?

Digging Up Secrets by Elizabeth Penney is the first book in the Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm multi-author series. Harriet Bailey has just arrived in the quaint Yorkshire village of White Church Bay, ready to take over her late grandfather’s veterinary clinic and settle into the charming countryside life she remembers from childhood. But her fresh start takes a troubling turn when a beloved elderly client, Meredith Bennett, is rushed to the hospital with a mysterious head injury. While caring for Meredith’s spirited springer spaniel, Huntley, Harriet makes a startling discovery – Huntley has dug up a stash of jewels buried behind the clinic, long linked to a notorious forty-year-old heist.

Even more shocking? The main suspect is none other than Harriet’s grandfather, the late Dr. Harold Bailey – respected veterinarian, celebrated local artist… and now alleged jewel thief.

Determined to clear her grandfather’s name and protect her family’s legacy, Harriet dives into the decades-old mystery. But as secrets come to light and old wounds resurface, she must also win over a close-knit village wary of outsiders. Can Harriet solve the cold case, prove Grandad Harold’s innocence, and earn her place in White Church Bay – before the truth is buried for good?
