Books, Bunnies, and a Body
(2026)(The second book in the Bonne Annee Mystery series)
A novel by N E Carlisle
The egg hunt is a Hazelton tradition. So is murder, apparently.
Spring has come to Hazelton at last, and bookshop owner Année's calendar is in full bloom. There's a Peter Rabbit tea to host at The Literary Table, a wedding to plan in her garden, and family arriving from every direction for the holidays. With chocolate bunnies on order and her loyal Bernedoodle, Oscar, on full-time bunny patrol, the season promises nothing but sweetness.
Then the town's beloved egg hunt takes a dark turn, and the celebration unravels into suspicion. Hazelton has weathered trouble before, and so has Année. But this one cuts close to home, and she can't leave it alone. Not when the truth may be hiding behind one of the friendly faces she greets every day.
As spring unfolds in Hazelton, she sifts through small-town secrets, springtime rivalries, and stories that don't quite add up. What she discovers is that even the sweetest season has something to hide.
Pour a cup of tea and settle in. Hazelton has a mystery to solve before the wedding bells ring.
A cozy mystery to savor, with recipes included, for readers who love immersive small-town atmosphere, bookshop settings, a lovable dog companion, and gentle, satisfying whodunits that take time to bloom.
Book 2 in the award-winning Bonne Année Mysteries.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
