Red, White, and Blue-Collar Murder
(2026)(Book 33 in the Country Cottage Mystery series)
A novel by Bellamy Bloom and Addison Moore
It’s summer in Cider Cove and someone is about to have a killer Fourth of July.
I’m Bizzy Baker Wilder, and nothing says summer disaster quite like Mayor Mackenzie Woods booking my Country Cottage Inn for her mean girl squad’s Fourth of July stay-cation in Cider Cove.Between beach parties, fireworks, and frozen cocktails, these women screenshot private texts for sport and weaponize social media as if it’s a contact sport. So naturally, when their self-proclaimed queen bee turns up dead during the patriotic kickoff party, Mackenzie ends up looking guilty as sin.
Suddenly I’m clearing the name of a woman I can barely tolerate, armed with my mind-reading quirk, my talking pets Fish and Sherlock Bones, and Mackenzie herself—who’s discovering that being framed for murder is way less fun than framing people on social media.
But before I can unmask the killer, another body drops at our seaside celebration. Now I’m running out of time to stop a murderer who’s willing to kill anyone who gets too close to the truth—all while managing summer festivals, dodging a shady contractor, and keeping my new baby away from the chaos.
My pets are stealing every treat they can get their paws on, my sister’s viral candle disaster keeps getting worse, and my detective husband is solving a double homicide during fireworks season. Good thing I can read minds—because in a group this backstabbing, thoughts are deadlier than secrets.
An innkeeper who reads minds.
The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. Leaving can be murder.
Includes RECIPE!
My name is Bizzy Baker Wilder, and I can read minds—not every mind, not every time, but most of the time, and believe me when I say it's not all it’s cracked up to be.
