The Fenway Stevenson Mysteries, Collection One: Books 1-3 ^Featured

She didn’t ask for power. She didn’t want the spotlight. But murder doesn’t wait for permission.

When Fenway Stevenson returns to her coastal California hometown, she’s thrust into a job she never wanted—county coroner. Suddenly, she’s investigating suspicious deaths, confronting long-buried secrets, and facing down a town full of people who’d rather see her gone.

But Fenway is no pushover.

In a place where her father’s oil company casts a long shadow, Fenway fights to forge her own path. Each case brings her closer to the truth—and deeper into danger. As the body count rises, so does the pressure. Navigating power struggles, small-town grudges, and a slow-burning connection with the county sheriff, Fenway must decide who she can trust…and what she's willing to risk for justice.

This collection includes the first three full-length novels in the Fenway Stevenson Mysteries—The Reluctant Coroner, The Incumbent Coroner, and The Candidate Coroner—and is perfect for readers who love complex characters, tangled investigations, and sharp, emotionally grounded crime fiction.

"Be warned: to read one Fenway mystery is to want to read them all. If you love page-turning, unputdownable mysteries, then Ardoin is the real deal."
