Death at the Friendsgiving Table
(2026)(The sixth book in the Ashford Creek Mystery series)
A Story by Ella Andrew
DEATH AT THE FRIENDSGIVING TABLEAn Ashford Creek Mystery
A community dinner. A deadly secret. And a bookstore owner who can't resist solving mysteries.
When Ashford Creek gathers for its first Friendsgiving celebration at the charming Teacup Inn, former detective Eliza Prescott is looking forward to a peaceful evening with friends. But when financial consultant Mauricio Silva collapses at the table, what looks like a tragic heart attack quickly reveals something far more sinister.
Eliza notices what everyone else missed: the faint scent of bitter almonds and her retired K-9 partner Bruno's alert to the cranberry compote. When Sheriff Wade Colton rules it natural causes, Eliza knows she can't let it go—especially when a second death follows days later.
As Eliza digs deeper, she uncovers a chilling connection to a decades-old murder at Cambridge University and a brilliant killer who's been hiding in plain sight for twenty-three years. With her detective instincts at odds with Wade's warnings to stay out of it, Eliza must race to unmask a murderer who's perfected the art of making death look natural.
But asking the wrong questions attracts the wrong attention. And in a town as small as Ashford Creek, nowhere is truly safe when a killer decides you know too much.
A classic whodunit with Agatha Christie-style deduction, small-town charm, and a clever amateur sleuth who proves that justice is always worth pursuing—even when it's dangerous.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries who love intelligent detectives, loyal canine companions, and satisfying parlor revelations. A complete mystery in approximately 2 hours—no cliffhangers, just clever sleuthing and warm community connections.
Genre: Mystery
