Deadly Delivery
(2026)(The seventh book in the Nightsmith Novelties Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Patti Benning
This April Fool’s Day, the joke is deadly…
and shopkeeper Bridget Rowan might be the punchline.
Bridget has never trusted April Fool’s Day and this year her suspicions prove to be warranted.
Between receiving a cryptic message from her eccentric aunt, as well as a bizarre coffin-shaped package she definitely didn’t order, and coping with a flood of customers scrambling for last-minute gag gifts, Bridget’s quaint shop is anything but calm. Add in an awkwardly timed date invitation from Lachlan, and an already rough day threatens to spiral out of control.
But the pranks take a sinister turn when her friend Kaycee insists the mysterious delivery contains something far from funny…a body.
Bridget doesn’t believe it until she sees it for herself and is more than dismayed to discover that the victim is one of her aunt’s many infamous ex-husbands.
With suspicion mounting and danger knocking at her door, Bridget must untangle a twisted web of secrets, lies, and past grudges before the killer delivers their next chilling message.
Because this isn’t just a prank gone wrong…
It’s murder.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
