1. Death In a One-Room Schoolhouse (planned publishing date: June 2013)

In the spring of 1958 in rural New Brunswick, three murders occur involving a high school science class.  In each case, every suspect has an alibi.  Elizabeth Quince, an influential member of the school board, uses her political clout to ensure her friend, Bradley Jackson, represents the school board on this case.

An experienced RCMP detective inspector and a young, go-getting detective sergeant utilize their by-the-book approach while Bradley ignores motive and concentrates on method and opportunity.  Following their separate investigations, the two merge to seemingly solve the murders.

However, Bradley knows that the supposed murderer was only the planner while the actual murderer got off scot-free.  Later the murderer apparently commits suicide.  The reader is left to ponder what role Bradley may have played in the murderer’s death.

Much of the humour is provided by Bradley’s confidant, Mrs. Barnes, the large and outgoing owner of the Lambton Inn where Bradley eats all his meals.  Elizabeth Quince attempts to provide whatever romance there is, with no help from Bradley.

Please note:  Although the following books have been completed and are listed in order of release, a publishing date has not been set for them.

The in the first, “Just Desserts”, with Elizabeth Quince looking in Bradley’s direction for romance, Mrs. Barnes requests Bradley’s services to determine if a court ruling of “innocent” regarding the death of a much-disliked man’s death is justified.

In the second, “Something Better”, the two Moncton detectives, LeBlanc and Steeves, return and call for Bradley’s help when the certain suicide of a young lady may be both suicide and murder.

14. Death in Royal County

In these four novellas Bradley proves a lot of bull is not necessarily a bad thing,(“The Farmer Takes a Life”); that even he can be fooled but not for long (“The Housekeeper”); that his grandfather, Easy Jackson, is not all that easy when it comes to murder (“Murder Ain’t Easy”); and that murder can be perfect as long as you don’t raise Bradley’s ire (“The Perfect Murders”).

15.  A Pleasant Place to Die

In this last book of the series, Bradley and Elizabeth journey to a small village in Royal County where Elizabeth once taught school and where, over a period of years, several suspicious deaths have occurred.  Samantha and Sergeant Dutton also play significant roles.
