The Misty Sales series was Morgana Best’s first published work, with three of the four books arriving in 2014. Misty Sales writes for a paranormal magazine and travels to her aunt’s home in Australia, where she finds her aged relative dead under suspicious circumstances. The investigation pulls her into a web of secrets that get stranger the deeper she digs, with occult undercurrents running through the story.
The series set the template for much of Best’s later output: an Australian setting, a female protagonist drawn into crime-solving, and a healthy dose of the supernatural. The four books carry straightforward mystery titles (A Motive for Murder, A Reason for Murder, A Basis for Murder, A Plot for Murder), before Best adopted the punny naming style that would become her trademark.
