Book Series: Murders and Smuggling on a Cruise Ship, Murders at Filucy Bay, Murders in the Cascades

Mystery lovers are in for a thrilling ride with author Vicki Shelton’s captivating Biodina d’Angelo Mystery Series, an immersive collection of novels that weave together long-buried secrets, modern-day crimes, and a fearless amateur sleuth who refuses to let the truth stay hidden.

At the heart of the series is Biodina d’Angelo, a sharp-witted and intuitive investigator whose curiosity consistently draws her into complex and dangerous mysteries. Across three compelling installments, Shelton masterfully blends suspense, history, and human drama into unforgettable stories.

In Murders in the Cascades, a fleeting moment of clarity from an Alzheimer’s patient reveals a decades-old murder hidden deep in the Washington wilderness. As Biodina investigates, she uncovers a web of fraud, deception, and a second, more recent killing, forcing her to connect past and present in a race against time.

Murders at Filucy Bay transports readers to a quiet coastal town in the Puget Sound, where the discovery of ancient remains tied to a Native American chieftain’s son sparks a chilling investigation. When a key witness vanishes, Biodina must navigate cultural history, local secrets, and mounting danger to uncover the truth.

This is number 1 in the series in the upcoming Murders and Smuggling on a Cruise Ship, a luxurious Caribbean voyage turns deadly when Biodina uncovers a diamond smuggling operation linked to Brazilian miners. As bodies begin to surface, including a poisoned ship captain, she must unravel motives rooted in greed, passion, and revenge.

Each novel is driven by dual, interwoven plots that challenge readers to piece together clues alongside the protagonist. Shelton’s storytelling stands out for its rich detail, unexpected twists, and incorporation of real-world topics, from forensic science to historical artifacts and global smuggling networks.
