Welcome to my website!
Hi! I'm Jo A. Hiestand, the author of more than two dozen novels comprising my two British mystery series and a cozy crime series based in Missouri.
My new book, "Overdue," is the 17th book in the McLaren Mystery series. A series of murders, the victims all found in Derbyshire, push former police detective Michael McLaren into a race to stop a fourth death by a killer who's overdue to be caught.
For more information about it, as well as my other books, please visit my three MYSTERIES pages.
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 many books in the McLaren mystery series, and upcoming book releases. Thanks for visiting!
