Murder on the Rocks2
(2026)(The second book in the Murder on the Rocks series)
A novel by Rock DeYoung
One poisoned gin fizz. One haunted café. One chance to uncover a secret someone has spent decades trying to bury.
Ivy Henderson thought inheriting Sunshine Brew meant cozy mornings, loyal customers, and her aunt Bea's famous lemon-lavender recipes. Instead, a beloved retired teacher collapses after drinking one of Ivy's cocktails, and suddenly the entire town is whispering about poison, curses, and murder.
Determined to clear Sunshine Brew's name, Ivy begins digging for answers with help from Figaro, her unusually perceptive tabby cat, Chester, a ghost with a talent for inconvenient advice, and Detective Ethan Callahan, who isn't sure what to make of a mystery involving poisoned drinks and dead reporters.
But Maplebridge has a long memory.
A rival distillery owner seems to know more than she should. Old family secrets refuse to stay buried. And clues hidden by Ivy's late aunt suggest the poisoning may be connected to an incident everyone thought was forgotten decades ago.
As rumors spread and the truth draws closer, Ivy must uncover what really happened before Sunshine Brew becomes the next casualty of Maplebridge's oldest secret.
Genre: Mystery
