Fan Mail is the second novel in the Aspen Adams Novels of Suspense. I read and ARC through the Cozy Mystery Review Crew I have mentioned.
I love this cover.
About:
"An adoring fan and a string of murders: a demented show of love that leaves no one safe . . .
Local celebrity news anchor Gloria Morning is used to receiving declarations of love and praise in her weekly fan letters, but when a Lake Tahoe doctor is murdered and she gets an anonymous note telling her it was done for her glory, her appreciation turns to panic. Unsure of where else to turn, she enlists the help of novice private investigator Aspen Adams. No sooner does Aspen begin digging into who sent the macabre note than another murder occurs, followed by another note, and she soon realizes she’s up against a ruthless and deranged killer.
Working with scant clues and a puzzling array of potential suspects, Aspen is determined to unearth the elusive connection between the victims and her client. But as the body count grows and the murderer remains a mystery to both her and the police, Aspen discovers she’s gotten closer to the killer than she ever imagined, and now she must risk everything she holds dear to stop the killings, including her own life."

This was an excellent cozy/thriller. The story escalates as more people are murdered in this small town. Aspen (amateur P.I.) helps her boyfriend Nick (detective) try to figure out who the murderer is and how they are all connected. Aspen is also trying to be mother to her niece, Candace, and it looks like she, Candace and their dog are targeted. Good complex mystery, with a really tense, can't put it down ending. There are several strong characters with good back stories to keep this series going. I think it would make an excellent Hallmark Mystery.
Daryl Wood Gerber also writes The Cookbook Nook Mysteries, French Bistro Mysteries and as Avery Ames, The Cheeseshop Mysteries. She has also written some standalones.
