Deadly Illusions: A Collection of Mystery Short Stories (2015)

From a gossip-spreading employee and an overbearing voice at a bar, to an Inn owner creating murder games, and a lonely man sitting on a Central Park bench, these stories blur the thin line between what we perceive and what is real.

Confetti: A Collection of Cozy Crimes (2014)

From a theme party in Mizpah, NJ, to a surfing incident on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii, murders are planned. From a Malibu beach with remote control cars, to the northern hills of Las Vegas, people are disappearing. Confetti is a colorful mixture of delightful stories.

“I’ve been a fan of Ms. Morin’s … she’s a writer’s writer, an author who makes her story the centerpiece, not the words or fancy sentences. All of her collections are marvelous—every story a jewel—but this new one [Confetti] moves Ms. Morin higher on the list of America’s top writers of short crime fiction.”

Crime Montage (2012)

From a Newport, Rhode Island, fishing vessel to a German cruise ship in 1939, crimes are committed. From the San Juan Islands to New York City, murders are solved. The stories are as unique and different as human personalities and motives.

“With such a variety to choose from, you’ll find that once you start reading, you won’t want to put down Crime Montage until page 214. And when you reach that final page, you’ll find yourself asking, ‘Did she write any other books?’ Happily, the answer is ‘Yes!’”

The stories are uniquely different as motives are explored and crimes solved. The story “Homeless” was nominated for a Derringer and an Anthony Award, while “Pa and the Pigeon Man” was nominated for a Pushcart Award.

“Patricia Morin demonstrates the full range of her abilities, from cozy to suspense to noir—and every genre in between.”
