About Meera Patel Cozy Mysteries : The First Five Books

'When fall term started two months ago, I had no idea I was going to be accused of murder.'Meera Patel is a first-generation American, born and raised in Swan Creek, Oklahoma — a college town where everyone knows everyone. Her father is a professor at the local university. And her mother … her mother has been missing since Meera was six. Back home after dropping out of college, Meera is trying to figure out what comes next while helping out at the local diner. As summer fades and a new semester begins, the town settles into its familiar rhythms — until a heated argument with her academic rival, a junior professor, turns into something far more serious. A few days later, the professor is found dead, floating in the campus pond. And Meera is the prime suspect. With the police closing in, Meera sets out to clear her name—backed by her loyal friends and a sharp-witted grandmother who refuses to believe she’s guilty. But the more she digs, the more she realizes that beneath Swan Creek’s quiet surface lies a web of secrets no one wants uncovered. And this is only the beginning. From a rancher poisoned in plain sight …to anonymous threats tearing apart a women’s club …to a Route 66 road trip that turns deadly …to a Christmas party murder in a blizzard ... Meera soon learns that in Swan Creek, danger doesn’t just lurk in dark alleys — it hides in plain sight, behind friendly faces, and in secrets that refuse to stay buried.
