ABNORMAL MURDERS
Justine Hoffman's parents are dead, and it was cookies that killed them.
Yeah, she knows that sounds like the plot of a kitschy cozy mystery, but it's true: two young women showed up on their doorstep the night they moved into a new town with a plate of cookies and Justine was the only survivor, thanks to her gluten intolerance. Now she's living in small-town North Dakota with her grandparents, hoping that she can at least try to have a normal year.
But when a boy she goes on a one date with gets kidnapped, Justine's going to have to confront this. On her side? Adam Ford, who is as small-town North Dakota as you can possibly get, and Lisa McDaniel, who dresses like it's 1957 and listens to music like it's 1999... and maybe someone on the inside, too.

Book Two: The Morph Suit Murderer
One year after her parents were killed by the serial killers with cookies, and Justine Hoffman is bored.
It's not that she wants more murders to solve, but after Chicago, nothing else, not even binging crime shows, can scratch the same itch. So when a woman is found eviscerated in her backyard, Justine is happier than she would like to admit. Connor, Chris, and Adam don't think it's anything big to worry about or solve--and Connor, who watched his sisters go down a dark road, warns Justine away from getting too into this.
But then another woman is killed. And another. And as the bodies keep piling up, a mysterious figure from Connor's past appears... someone he hoped to never see again.
Greyson is dead. But his friends aren't.

Book Three: The Flip Flop Felony
It's a new year, and with Connor off at college
and no murderers in sight, Justine figures that, maybe, things are
starting to turn around, as boring as that might be. Not that she wants
people to die... but when bodies start showing up at Connor's college,
she can't say she's not excited.
Connor, meanwhile, was having a good time at college, before the murders started. With a nervous wreck of a roommate who seemed to be willing to do anything for a friend, he figures he can handle it. Even if the nervous wreck of a roommate keeps freaking out and running away whenever anyone he went to middle school with shows up...
Sam is adjusting to life without a father. They've stayed in Lakewood, at least, her mother says, until she graduates, and it's comforting to be able to go out to her father's grave whenever she wants. Justine and Adam are good friends--when they're not chasing down killers. And, anyway, Connor's college roommate is pretty cute...
Alex Davidson has reinvented himself before, and college seems to be the place to try and do it again. Sure, his roommate is famous in true crime circles, but he seems relatively normal. Relatively. At the very least, he doesn't seem like he's about to start stabbing people.
Unfortunately, the past is never content to stay buried.
