Charley Marsh

Sixteen year old Spencer Reed lives with her crippled grandfather and a mother who refuses to leave the house. Home schooled and isolated, Spencer has no friends. Only the certain knowledge that she’ll inherit the family farm one day and be able to fulfill her life’s dream of raising horses keeps her from spiraling into despair.

On the morning Spencer defends herself against the town bully, her life tumbles from bad to awful. That meeting triggers a chain of events that expose long hidden secrets. Deadly secrets. Secrets that someone still needs to protect at any cost–including murder.

Gypsy Gold, the first book of a new YA mystery series, delights and entertains the reader with its quirky characters and unexpected plot twists.

Spencer Reed Mysteries

Gypsy Gold: A Spencer Reed Mystery

Horse shows aren’t all fun and glamour. They also require long grueling hours of work. While unloading a trailer after a jam-packed show weekend, sixteen year old Spencer Reed discovers a stowaway child. Frightened. Mute. Who is the stowaway and why was the child hiding in the Rocking Bear’s horse trailer?

At home, her grandfather’s new caregiver gives Spencer the creeps. There’s just something about him–but he seems to have found a way to ease her grandfather’s constant pain so Spencer says nothing.

Spencer can’t resist a good mystery, especially when a child needs her help. But when she digs for answers she finds herself in the middle of more than she bargains for. The answers she finds could end up costing Spencer–and her grandfather–their lives.

Dark Horse: A Spencer Reed Mystery

Spencer Reed’s grandfather is finally out of rehab. She travels to Tucson to drive him to Wind Star Ranch, a horse ranch and assisted care facility on the edge of the Saguaro Desert where her grandfather plans to spend the remainder of the winter. A ranch with a legend of missing gold.

Spencer loves warm and arid Tucson. It beats a snowy winter in Minnesota. And Wind Star Ranch seems like a nice place filled with nice people. Until the owner ends up dead. Murdered in her sleep. Once again, a mystery lands in Spencer’s lap, one with deadly consequences.

Join Spencer in the beautiful Arizona desert as she scrambles to identify a killer and locate a lost fortune in gold before the killer strikes again.
