Matty Cruz Adventures 1,2,3: Astray in Couper, Killer in Couper, Redhead in Couper

Couper, Washington, nestled on the banks of the Columbia River, is a lovely place to visit, but living there can be killer.

When Matty Cruz’s career ends prematurely due to hard economic times, she pulls up stakes and relocates to the tree-filled Pacific Northwest. She’s hoping the natural beauty there will lift her spirits. But soon she discovers that her impulsive move lands her in a city with one of the highest violent-crime rates in the region.

Matty Cruz Adventures holds the first three stories of this cozy mystery series with a criminal edge, but the stories are told with a dash of humor and fun. If you like a smart, brave heroine who must quickly reinvent herself-or else, quirky, colorful characters, and dark villains, you’ll love R. Marquez’s slightly skewed version of the Pacific Northwest.

R.Marquez resides in the Pacific Northwest, a place that inspired her to create the fictional city of Couper, WA, located across the Columbia River from Portland, OR. All her stories either occur in Couper or are inhabited by its denizens.

She has been published in several magazines and e-zines, including Crimespree, KZINE, and Shotgun Honey.
