Reese Jacobsen

Mysteries with heart.


Book One: He was always so polite

Why is there a multi-million-dollar painting, stolen decades ago, in the apartment upstairs?

Single mom Flossie returns home to care for her injured mother and claim some much needed peace and quiet. Instead, clearing out a deceased tenant’s effects, she finds valuable stolen art. She wants no part of the frenzy that ensues but is inexorably drawn into figuring out how it came to be in her mother’s house and who this tenant, who seemed so ordinary, actually was.

As Flossie’s personal stresses grow, she reluctantly confides in a rag-tag group of lonely hearts who meet at her coffee shop for a dating support group. Unexpectedly, they rally around her, focusing more on her troubles than their own. She will need to learn to trust her instincts, and possibly theirs, to figure it out.

He was always so polite is the first book in the Seeking Connections mystery series. If you like small-town mysteries, complex emotions, and strong women, get Reese Jacobsen’s new book today!

Available on Amazon and Kobo (Free e-book).


Book Two: Please bring her home

A grieving family. A creepy cult. Time is running short to find the missing granddaughter.

Still dealing with a devastating break-up, Caroline is trying to regain a sense of who she is and what she wants in life. When she’s introduced to a sweet old woman desperate to find her granddaughter, Caroline’s heartstrings fully engage and propel her into finding the girl, no matter what.

Aided by new friends in her dating support group, Caroline begins an unsettling journey to investigate an under-the-radar cult that preys on vulnerable young women. As she sorts through her own emotional uncertainties, she explores decrepit towns, forbidding forests, and stands up to frightening, unfriendly men in a quest to reunite a family.

Please bring her home is the second book in the Seeking Connections mystery series. If you like small-town mysteries, emotional resonance, and tough but vulnerable women, treat yourself to Reese Jacobsen’s newest novel.

Book Three: The only suspect

What would you do if your friend were the only suspect in a heinous crime?

Ramona has harbored a secret semi-crush on Stu for months, so when she learns he was once suspected of kidnapping a young girl, she refuses to believe it. Ramona vows to do what no one has accomplished in twenty-five years—discover the actual kidnapper and clear Stu’s name for good. (Even if, as she fully acknowledges, she has no actual skills to accomplish this audacious thing.)

This pledge, to herself, Stu, and their mutual friends, becomes all-consuming and provides a welcome distraction from ongoing stresses at work. As she gets to know witnesses with faded old memories and very contemporary grief, Ramona is confronted with the long agony of crime’s aftermath. Her need to solve the mystery grows more intense even as her faith in her ability falters.

The Only Suspect is the third book in the Seeking Connections mystery series. This fast-paced, emotional mystery will make you feel like one of Ramona’s friends—cheering her on as she seeks the truth. Buy now!
