Stirring Up Trouble...
Vintage kitchenware and cookbook collector Jaymie Leighton has been estranged from her high school best friend Kathy Cooper since they were teenagers, but she never knew what turned Kathy against her.

After fireworks at a Fourth of July picnic, Jaymie discovers the body of her former friend in the park. On the ground nearby is Jaymie's own Depression-era glass bowl, broken in two.

With her fingerprints all over the bowl and a troubled history with the victim, Jaymie suddenly finds herself at the top of the list of suspects.

Did the killer intend to frame her for the murder? If so, she is ready to mix it up, because solving crimes is vintage Jaymie Leighton...

Hello everyone!

I love to read mysteries that center around things I enjoy, like cooking and collecting vintage cookware and cookbooks, animals, and fun tales of small town life. I think that a lot of other mystery readers feel the same! So, I hope you'll enjoy meeting Jaymie Leighton, her sister, Rebecca Leighton Burke, and the rest of her family, including Hoppy, the three-legged Yorkie-Poo, and Denver, the crabby tabby, both rescue animals. And I think you'll have fun getting to know all the quirky inhabitants of Queensville, Michigan, including Jaymie's best friend, local pharmacist and town gossip, Valetta Nibley.

So, for some vintage recipes, and a dollop of murder served up with a pinch of humor and spiced with just a hint of romance, join me in my Vintage Kitchen Mysteries. Check out the Facebook page for my Vintage Kitchen Mysteries!

If you enjoy A Deadly Grind, drop me a line. I look forward to hearing from you! Book 3 of the Vintage Kitchen Mysteries, Freezer I'll Shoot, will be available November 5th, 2013.

EXCITING NEWS! I have another mystery series in the works!

Merry's Muffins' Mysteries debuts September 3rd, 2013 with A Bran New Death. Merry Wynter has inherited a castle in upstate New York from her eccentric uncle, who she hadn't seen in over thirty years. But Melvyn had his secrets, and the locals suspect he murdered his business partner, Rusty Turner and buried his body on the castle grounds. Maybe that is why someone is digging giant holes on the property!

When a real life body turns up in the bottom of one of the holes, Merry has to get to the bottom of it, hopefully that is not literally the case!

HOPPY READING!

A Hoosier to die for?
When vintage cookware and cookbook collector Jaymie Leighton spies an original 1920s Hoosier brand kitchen cabinet at an estate auction, it’s love at first sight. Despite the protests of her sister, Rebecca, that the 19th-century yellow-brick house they share in Michigan is already too cluttered with Jaymie’s “junk”, she successfully outbids the other buyers and triumphantly takes home her Hoosier.

But that night on the summer porch where they’ve left the Hoosier to be cleaned up, a man is murdered, struck on the head with  the steel meat grinder that is part of the cabinet. Who is this stranger—and what was he doing on their porch? Does his death have anything to do with the Hoosier?

As the police struggle to determine the man’s identity, Jaymie can’t help doing a little digging on her own, accompanied by her three-legged Yorkie Poo, Hoppy. But in her bid to uncover the truth about the hidden secrets of the Hoosier, Jaymie may be the one who ends up going, going…gone!

Readers love A Deadly Grind!

Library Journal says: Smartly written and successfully plotted, the debut of this new cozy series set on the U.S.-Canadian border exudes authenticity. 

Melissa Lapierre of Mochas, Mysteries & More says:  I've found a new favorite cozy character... Jaymie Leighton… I obviously adore the characters and setting of the book, I also loved the mystery, and was truly stumped. There are so many shady characters roaming around Queensville, all double-crossing each other, that when the true killer is finally revealed it is a surprise indeed.

I can't wait for the next book in this series...this is without question one of my favorite "first in a series" ever!!!

Lesa Holstine of Lesa’s Book Critiques says: Hamilton’s Jaymie Leighton completely captivated me. She’s thoroughly involved with her cookery collection, and she’s actually putting it to practical use. The stories behind her collection are fascinating. They reveal the daily work life of women. And, somewhere in that vintage collection is a story that attracts a killer. Jaymie Leighton needs to find a killer to protect her collection, her home, and her life in A Deadly Grind. It’s an engrossing mystery. I’ll be awaiting the return of Jaymie Leighton in the next Vintage Kitchen mystery.

"Small-town setting, kitchen antiques... and a bowlful of mystery. A perfect recipe."
