The Deviled Easter Egg Hunt
(2025)(Book 23 in the Newfound Lake Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Virginia K Bennett
When the town librarian is an avid mystery and true-crime reader, the local law enforcement must need a book-smart assistant like her, right?
Even though winter is technically over, the arrival of Easter makes it feel like spring has officially sprung. Alexandria, one of four towns that geographically border Newfound Lake, is celebrating this year with their second annual Easter Egg Hunt for both children and adults. After the resounding success of last year’s event, they expanded it to include a Deviled Egg Contest at the town hall; Rebecca Towne is signed up and ready to scramble the competition.
When Melanie and Megan, Rebecca’s stepdaughters, are finished hunting for eggs, the only event remaining is a photograph with the Easter Bunny. Rebecca and her new husband, Chief Kenny Towne, notice something off and intercept kids still wanting to meet the famous cottontail. Suspicions confirmed, Rebecca decides this is her case to crack. The death of the costumed character in broad daylight isn’t the only thing that smells funny in this small town when no one can seem to identify a viable suspect.
With the hunt for the eggs over, the hunt for a killer begins. Will Rebecca be able to identify the bad egg in the basket, or will she come up with her first goose egg?
