Welcome to my website!
I'm Jo A. Hiestand, the author of thirty novels comprising two British mystery series and a cozy crime series based in Missouri.
My new book, "Dark Deed on a Dark Moor," is the 15th book in the McLaren Mystery series. An anonymous gift of a millstone plunges ex-police detective Michael McLaren into investigating two murders.
For more information about it, as well as my other books, please visit my BOOKS page.
I also write the Peak District Mysteries and the The Cookies & Kilts Mysteries. There's a page dedicated to each of them, so check those out.
I hope you'll return to my site often to read about new books, the companion music to each one in the McLaren mystery series, and upcoming book releases. Thanks for visiting!

"With LAST SEEN, Jo Hiestand once again moves closer to the front of the class in the British mystery field."
