This cozy mystery series is unlike any other mystery. Most
mysteries are about murder and “who-done-it,” but this mystery series
specializes in missing persons. Each of these books has enough twists to stump
the reader. It has a nice blend of mystery, humor, and clean romance. Watch
Amelia and Rick as they investigate each case in the Amelia Moore Detective Series.
In this mystery series, Amelia Moore is the founder of the
Moore Detective Agency and specializes in missing persons. Her cases have taken
her to some very interesting places and put her in some dangerous situations,
but she always solves the case. With the help of Rick Bonito, her business is
flourishing.
If you have longed to visit an exotic island, The Bali Mystery will take you there. When
Mrs. Brody hires Amelia and Rick to find her missing brother, they find
themselves in Bali, Indonesia. They are mystified why her brother quit his job,
put his home up for sale, and ran off to this mysterious and exotic island
without telling a soul.
“This is a cozy mystery, but
there is also suspense, danger and, of course, romance. Throw in two mysterious
men in black – complete with black suits and sunglasses and you have all the
makings of an exciting novel.” --Library

Ireland is the next place you can visit with Amelia and
Rick. When Amelia is hired to search for her client’s grandparents in The Shamrock Case, the case takes them
to Ireland. Kate must learn about her heritage. Who are her grandparents and could
they still be alive after all these years? Why did her parents leave Ireland
suddenly and move to America? Is there more to this case than meets the eye?
“Amelia and Rick have the
makings of being a lasting couple that readers will adore and root for. The Shamrock Case moves along quickly.
The author paints a vivid picture of the beauty of Ireland. I could easily see
the greenery and magnificence of the country. Clarke knows both her characters
and locations well and it shines through each word she writes.” --Socrates Book Review
The last place Amelia was thinking about visiting was
Mexico. In The Missing Heir, Dell
Murphy has passed on and left a fortune to his nephew. He wants his nephew to
continue his work at the orphanage in Mexico, but there is one problem. Neal
Woods is missing! If Amelia and Rick can’t find him soon, the fortune will be
turned over to Dell’s brother and sister who intend to close down “Uncle Dell’s
Orphanage.” If that happens, where will the children go?
“It’s refreshing to me to
discover a “cozy mystery”, with two likeable, romantic characters who enjoy
each other and are able to solve a mystery together. It is a book I am happy to
be able to recommend and share with teens as well as adults of all ages!” –Author Sherril S. Cannon
The agency gets to stay in the
United States for their next case. In The
Mysterious Doll, Pauline Jones is confused why her boyfriend took off
without telling a soul where he was going. But that isn’t all. Sam Whitaker is
accused of stealing a valuable porcelain doll from the museum. His
disappearance makes him look guilty, but Pauline is convinced he is innocent.
When Amelia finds Sam, she realizes they need to prove his innocence. Where is
the antique doll and who has taken it?
“I've read all of this author's
mysteries and this one is my favorite! They're all good, but they just keep
getting better and better. I think part of it is getting to know the characters
more with each book and watching the way Amelia and her partner, Rick, work
together. The mystery element was great! It moved along at a good pace and just
when I thought I had it figured out at the end, a few twists were thrown in and
I was at a loss once again.” --Katie

The next book in this series is a “second-chance” love
story. In Her Lost Love, Julie
Anderson feels a need to find the man she fell deeply in love with during her
youth. When Julie went off to college to become a lawyer, she lost contact with
her high school sweetheart. She now wants to know what became of Joey and why
he stopped writing to her? This is an assignment that intrigues Amelia. The
thought of finding a long-lost love seems quite romantic.
“I love long-lost love stories. So
this one grabbed my interest right from the beginning. What I enjoy about this
series is that there's always more to each case than they originally think.
This case was no different. I love how their personal relationship is
progressing and am excited to see what happens next. Rick is so irresistible
and romantic and he steps up big time in this book. I'm definitely looking
forward to reading more!” --Melanie

is approached by a woman who is concerned about the son she gave up for

was refused. Will Amelia and Rick be able to convince the courts to help them? If her son is in danger, will they get there in time?
“Dedicated
to ‘all of those who have had to deal with Marfan’s Syndrome’, the story
centers on a search for an adopted child who is potentially suffering from this
rare genetic disorder which can result in optical and cardiovascular problems
and may be life-threatening. The story takes us into the Louisiana bayous,
introduces us to Cajun food including crayfish, describes alligator life in the
deep south, and even teaches us some interesting self-defense maneuvers for
women!” --Author Sherrill Cannon
ForThe Lighthouse Secret, Rick Bonito’s
uncle supposedly drowned five years ago and his body was never found, but
something did not seem right about the report. Uncle Antonio was an excellent
swimmer. His disappearance seems quite suspicious to Rick’s father. He never
felt the complete truth had come out about his brother. It is now up to Amelia
and Rick to find out the truth about his uncle.
“In
the Amelia Moore Detective Series, the author delivers a delightful, fairly
fast-paced tale in the pursuit of a missing person, for that's what Amelia's
agency specializes in. This time it is personal, as Rick's Uncle Antonio Bonito
dies in suspicious circumstances. But what do lighthouses have to do with his
disappearance? The reader gets a brief education into lighthouses, their
importance in the past and the interesting uses they have today.” --Sandra Olshaski, Library of Clean Reads
