Order of Missing Pieces Mysteries Books

The Missing Pieces Mysteries series from husband-and-wife writing team Joyce and Jim Lavene delivers paranormal cozy mysteries centered around Dae O'Donnell, whose supernatural ability allows her to locate lost objects. Beyond her mystical talents, Dae serves as mayor of Duck, North Carolina, adding small-town political intrigue to her adventures.

Launched in 2010, this ongoing series continues to captivate readers with its blend of supernatural elements and traditional cozy mystery charm. The books follow their original publication sequence, which aligns with the chronological storyline.

The series kicks off with A Timely Vision, where readers first encounter Dae's unique paranormal gift. Rather than actively searching for missing items, Dae experiences visions that reveal their locations – the lost objects essentially call out to her. What begins as a simple request from Miss Mildred to locate a missing timepiece quickly escalates into something far more sinister. When murder enters the picture, Dae must use her abilities not just to find lost objects, but to prove Miss Mildred's innocence and solve a deadly crime.
