Devil's Claw
Summary
In the third book of her Logan McKenna mystery thriller series, Amazon best-selling author Valerie Davisson brings Logan back home to the laid-back southern California coastal town of Jasper.
It's summer and with a new job, a new love, and plenty of time for her music, life couldn't be better. Logan and her daughter, Amy who is home from Africa, even rescue an orphaned sea otter pup and help nurse it back to health at the Southern Sea Otter Center.
But powerful storm clouds soon swirl around the center and threaten the lives of all who touch it. More than one person lays claim to the property. Each wants it badly and for very different reasons.
With no resolution in sight, death soon dominates the calendar, exposing deep layers of deceit, greed, and painful personal loss. The sharks in the water are dangerous, but the predators on land are more numerous and deadly.
Only love, trust, and community have any hope of stopping the killing before more lives, including her own, are lost.
Devil's Claw is an emotional ride illuminating what we value and for what we're willing to fight.

Shattered
Summary
Meet Logan McKenna...fiercely loyal, and impossibly inquisitive. In Shattered, the first book in the original mystery series and stunning fiction debut with which Valerie Davisson lets us crave for more, Logan McKenna loses her husband, her illusions, the company they built together, her music, and now, probably her job. But that won't stop her from digging into a murder investigation that keeps Southern California's tight-knit artist community on its toes and law enforcement cluelessly guessing. At loose ends, and running out of money after buying a fixer upper on the coast, she decides to help out her best friend from high school, Thomas, a Native American artist, and his wife Lisa at their booth at the Otter Arts Festival, in the idyllic coastal town of Jasper, where she and her police officer brother Rick grew up. When one of the talented, young artists is found gruesomely murdered at the festival, Logan is faced with the reality that her best friend not only lied to her, but may be guilty of murder. It's up to her to find out what really happened that night, before the murderer kills again. If you enjoy listening to Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon, James Patterson's Murder Club, J. A. Jance's Joanna Brady, or more general: a mystery novel with a strong female character, you will quickly fall in love with Valerie Davisson's Logan McKenna - guaranteed!

Safe Harbor
Summary
Two deaths - one psychological, one real. Against her will, Logan is thrown smack dab in the middle of both and can't escape either. During the first vacation she's taken in years, Logan looks forward to sharing the beauty of the Oregon coast with Ben and her family. They quickly immerse themselves in summer fun - ocean walks, caramel corn by the fire, a visit to the aquarium, a charter boat fishing trip, and to top it all off, tickets for Logan and Ben to an amazing, intimate classical music concert featuring a pair of visiting musicians from China. But within days, Logan finds herself inexorably drawn into a homicide investigation - as a possible suspect. While she reels from that discovery, Logan is forced to face a ghost from her past and make a thorny, personal decision that will change everyone's lives, including her brother Rick's. Weaving themes of loss, forgiveness, family, love, and community, Davisson's characters all seek a safe harbor, but not all of them find one. If you enjoy character-driven novels with a strong sense of place, like J. A. Jance, C. J. Box, Louise Penny, Elly Griffiths, and Alexander McCall Smith, you will love getting to know Logan McKenna.
