Karen MacInerney Books Overview

Murder on the Rocks

Trading in Texas heat for Maine’s tangy salt air, Natalie Barnes risked it all to buy the Gray Whale Inn, a quaint bed and breakfast on Cranberry Island. She adores whipping up buttery muffins and other rich breakfast treats for her guests until Bernard Katz checks in. The overbearing land developer plans to build a resort next door where an endangered colony of black chinned terns is nesting. Worried about the birds, the inevitable transformation of the sleepy fishing community, and her livelihood, Natalie takes a public stand against the project. But the town board sides with Katz. Just when it seems like things can’t get any worse, Natalie finds Katz dead. Now the police and much of the town think she’s guilty. Can Natalie track down the true killer before she’s hauled off to jail…
or becomes the next victim?

Murder on the Rocks is an Agatha Award nominee.

Dead and Berried

In this delicious follow up to Murder on the Rocks, developers have returned to Cranberry Island. This time, they’re planning to wipe out a natural cranberry bog, along with the island’s namesake berries, to build a luxury subdivision. Natalie Barnes isn’t sweet on the idea of commercial interests souring their cozy oasis, but the single innkeeper has other problems on her plate: a withering relationship with her best friend Charlene, the sudden appearance of her ex fianc with a tempting proposal, and eerie bumps in the night suggesting the Gray Whale Inn is haunted. Worst of all, there’s a killer on the loose, picking off people like ripe fruit.

When Charlene’s lover the handsome chaplain with a stake in the development is stabbed to death, Natalie promises to find the murderer for her griefstricken friend, who’s also the number one suspect.

Murder Most Maine

The long awaited third book in Midnight Ink’s bestselling series is finally here!

It’s springtime on Cranberry Island and love is in the air. It seems like every woman has the hots for buff trainer Dirk De Leon. He and his equally gorgeous business partner, Vanessa Black, are leading a weight loss retreat at the Gray Whale Inn forcing innkeeper Natalie Barnes to lighten up her butter laden breakfast menu.

The mood on the island darkens when two grisly discoveries are made. The first is a skeleton walled up at the island’s lighthouse. The second is a corpse of the fresh variety the handsome Dirk! Could the spirit that once embodied the skeletal remains perhaps the lighthouse keeper who disappeared a century ago be responsible for Dirk’s death?

The police pin the blame on Natalie’s boyfriend who to her dismay had a long ago fling with Vanessa. To find the true killer and ease her own aching heart, Natalie must untangle the knot of jealous girlfriends and spurned admirers that once surrounded the hunky trainer.

Berried to the Hilt

When a lobsterman discovers a sunken ship, Cranberry Island is abuzz with excitement. Is the wreck the remains of the Myra Barton, the missing ship of island sea captain Jonah Selfridge? Or the elusive Black Marguerite, which belonged to one of the most notorious pirates of the 17th century and vanished without a trace except for the ghost ship that old timers say roams the water on fog shrouded nights? Soon the island is swarming with marine archaeologists and treasure hunters. It’s good news for Natalie and for the Gray Whale Inn until a body turns up floating near the wreck. Natalie finds herself immersed in the world of pirates and sunken treasure, both past and present. Will she solve the mystery and find the killer in time? Or will Natalie be the next to join the lost ship s crew, down in Davy Jones locker?

Bead on Trouble (By:Barbara Burnett Smith)

Meet Kitzi Camden, former stateswoman. When she retired, Kitzi dreamed of doing what she loves best beading. She certainly didn’t plan to try her hand at amateur sleuthing. But lately, trouble seems to find her wherever she goes even deep into the woods. When a young beader is killed at a beading retreat, Kitzi is faced with almost as many suspects as there are beads in her bag.

Beads of Doubt

Beader and former senator Kitzi Camden has the family manse sparkling like a jewel for the upcoming Bead Tea charity event. But the mood abruptly changes when a crafty cousin threatens to kick Kitzi and her mother out on the street. Then her cousin’s beady-eyed partner is found dead in a Dumpster nearby. There are plenty of suspects at the Tea-and Kitzi’s one of them.

Howling at the Moon

A swift paced, fun romp.
Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author

Romance is about to get a little hairy.

Sophie Garou seems to have it all: a great job at a prestigious accounting firm, a closet that rivals a Nordstrom showroom, and a terrific boyfriend who isn t afraid to use the M word. There’s just one little itty bitty problem: Sophie is a werewolf and her time of month has a whole new meaning.

Needless to say, life among yummy flesh and blood humans is no piece of steak…
er, cake!, but regular doses of wolfsbane tea and a mother who runs a magic shop have helped Sophie keep her paranormal pedigree under wraps. Still, when a sexy, golden eyed werewolf prowls into town, Sophie finds herself struggling to keep her animal impulses in check not to mention trying to keep things on track with her super hot and super human lawyer boyfriend. What s more, someone is threatening to expose Sophie for what she really is. And when her mother is accused of selling a poison laced potion, Sophie must sniff out a culprit before the fur hits the fan.

On the Prowl

Talk about a bad hair day!

Sophie Garou is a master at taming her inner beast, which comes in handy since she’s a werewolf. With a big promotion at work and a supersexy boyfriend, Heath whom she recently spotted leaving a jewelry store with a beguiling ring box, she s one happy girl.

But when Heath starts spending long nights at the office with his new associate a dead ringer for Career Day Barbie Sophie smells trouble. And when her professional relationship with her big new client who also happens to be Texas s brilliantly blue eyed most eligible bachelor begins to sizzle, she wonders if her animal instincts are leading her in the wrong direction. Just when it seems that things can t get any more complicated, they do. The Houston werewolf pack has sniffed Sophie out, and their message is chillingly clear: you re either with us or against us. And unless she can prove that she s with them, the next full moon may just be her last.

Leader of the Pack

WILDLY INDEPENDENT, SHE S NOT ONE FOR PACK MENTALITY. On the outside, Sophie Garou is living every woman’s dream: she has beauty, brains, and a big time position in Austin s most respected accounting firm not to mention a very sexy, very successful new boyfriend. But there s one Sophie would rather keep under wraps: she is a werewolf. Sophie s life gets a little more hairy when her long estranged father, Luc, arrives in the Live Music Capital to attend the werewolves annual Howl and reconnect with his daughter. But Luc s plans fall apart after he s accused of murder and arrested by his archrival, Wolfgang, leader of the Houston pack and one notoriously dirty dog. Wolfgang drools at the thought of Luc s impending execution, but Sophie won t let her father die without a fight. Determined to prove his innocence, she and her friends set out to find the real killer. Along the way, Sophie must deal with taboo attractions, Machiavellian intrigues, sinister agendas, and hair raising betrayals.
