The Doxies & Donuts Mystery Series

Welcome to the Doxies & Donuts Mystery Series, where small-town charm meets big-time trouble—and three opinionated dachshunds are always hot on the trail.

When mystery writer Willa Lattner inherits her great-aunt’s bakery in the coastal town of Humboldt Cove, she expects a quieter life filled with fresh pastries and friendly faces. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by secrets, suspicious neighbors, and the occasional dead body—along with three clever doxies who seem determined to help her solve every crime.

Each book in the series blends classic cozy mystery elements with humor, heart, and plenty of canine chaos. From quirky tourist attractions and holiday hijinks to local legends and long-buried grudges, the cases are twisty but comforting, with found family, baked goods, and loyal dogs at the center of every story.

Perfect for readers who love charming seaside settings, amateur sleuths, and mysteries with warmth (and wagging tails), the Doxies & Donuts series serves up whodunits that are as satisfying as a fresh donut—and just as hard to put down.
