GETS INTO EVERYTHING
(2026)(The third book in the Troublemaker Club Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Carolyn L Dean
Dorothy Keene’s bakery, The Cozy Cup, is the warm, cinnamon-scented heart of Hazenville. It is the one place where locals can escape the winter chill, trade town gossip, and indulge in the world's best cream cheese frosting. When a late-night intruder completely trashes the historic kitchen, the local police are quick to write it off as simple vandalism or the work of a jealous culinary rival.
Until they find the body.
Jessica Winters and the rest of the Troublemaker Club refuse to let their favorite baker take the fall for a frozen felony. As they sift through the flour and the clues, they quickly realize the midnight thief may not have been after Dorothy’s secret recipes or a wad of cash. The killer was searching for something valuable, and now they have to find out what, and why.
With the police focused on the wrong suspects and the future of the bakery on the line, The Troublemaker Club must rally to protect the mother-hen of their group. They will have to dig through decades of town history, dodge a desperate killer, and fully live up to their reputation as Hazenville's most notorious meddlers. After all, if you want to catch a clever criminal in this town, you have to get into everything.
Mystery. Friendship. Laugh-out-loud moments. A plot that thickens faster than Dorothy's gravy. Welcome back to Hazenville, where the coffee is hot and the trouble is served fresh daily.
This clean, non-paranormal cozy mystery is rated PG because hey, there's probably a dead guy in it ;)
Genre: Mystery
