PAWNED PERPETRATOR
(2026)(The eighth book in the Nightsmith Novelties Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Patti Benning
A tinkling tune. A deadly secret…
And a music box worth killing for.
When a frantic woman bursts into Bridget Rowan’s quirky novelty shop, begging to buy back a simple music box she pawned, Bridget can only offer an apology. The box sold weeks ago. The woman’s desperate, tearful reaction seems oddly intense but Bridget chalks it up to sentimentality.
Until a horrifying event makes her think otherwise.
Before Bridget can make sense of the tragedy, her shop is ransacked and her sales records vanish without a trace. Suddenly, that harmless little music box doesn’t seem so innocent after all.
With her cozy corner of town shaken and a killer on the loose, Bridget must follow a trail of secrets hidden in melodies and memories. But as she races to track down the box’s new owner, one thing becomes chillingly clear…whoever wants it back will stop at nothing to get it.
Can Bridget uncover the truth before the music stops… for good?
