About Moving Violation: A Small Town Mystery (Chloe Boston Cozy Mysteries Book 1)
Welcome to Hope Falls, home of the world’s smallest but smartest detective…
“Melanie Jackson is a talent to watch.”
—WritersWrite.com
Meet the diminutive sleuth Chloe Boston, a member of the Hope Falls Police Department, who is stuck in parking enforcement because at 98 pounds, 5 foot nothing, she will never be able to pass the department’s physical entrance exam to become an officer.
“I was delighted to find Chloe Boston and all of Melanie Jackson’s series.”
—Connie Shelton, author of the Charlie Parker and Samantha Sweet Mystery Series
In the first installment of this light-hearted cozy mystery series, Chloe investigates the death of a local industrialist. Of course, her efforts are hampered by her lack of official status within the department. But there may be another way to achieve her goal of someday becoming a detective. With the aid of her dog, Blue, and her writer’s group, Chloe may just be able to solve Hope Fall’s recent homicide and by so doing impress the new chief of police.
“I fell in love with Chloe Boston; she’s an enormous spirit in a tiny package, and endearingly human. Go Chloe!”
—Lisa Cach
