Donut Kill the Messenger
(2025)Mysteries of Meri
(Book 34 in the Familiar Kitten Mystery series)
A novel by Sara Bourgeois
Life in Coventry has finally settled into a comfortable routine. Kinsley's donut shop is thriving, her family is happy, and even Whisper is adjusting to her new corporeal existence with only minimal complaints about modern conveniences. When the town organizes its biggest charity bake sale ever, Kinsley is eager to contribute her signature treats to help expand the children's library.
What could go wrong with a simple fundraiser around the ancestor witch statue?
Apparently, everything.
When the bake sale's overzealous coordinator turns up dead from poisoned pastries, the whole event transforms from sweet charity into bitter murder. The victim seemed like the perfect community volunteer... organizing every detail, ensuring every booth was perfect, making sure everyone knew how dedicated she was to helping others. But as Kinsley digs deeper into the woman's charitable exterior, she discovers that some do-gooders aren't quite as good as they appear.
With Thorn's official investigation hitting legal roadblocks and her sarcastic familiar Meri providing his usual unhelpful commentary, Kinsley finds herself following a trail of magical interference that leads to family secrets darker than any chocolate frosting. Someone with emerging magical abilities has been trying to cover their tracks, but guilt has a way of sabotaging even the best-laid plans.
In a town where supernatural chaos can emerge from the most innocent community gatherings, Kinsley should have known that the loudest do-gooders often have the darkest secrets.
Sometimes the sweetest fundraisers hide the most bitter truths.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
