Murder at Camellia House
(2026)(A book in the Claire Middleton Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Dee Dee Edwards
Tea shop owner Claire Middleton expects Camellia House’s Chamber gathering to bring neighbors together over scones and steaming cups. Instead, the lights fail, and when they return, thoroughly unpleasant businessman Theo Whitlock is dead at his table.
With tech-savvy Ezra tracking old records, the gossip-loving Stitch Circle sharing long memories, and wary stray cat Juniper claiming both the shop and its clues, Claire begins piecing together a puzzle rooted in Pineberry Cove’s past.
Theo’s daughter, Grace Hollister, was investigating the land fraud that cheated her family, while retired attorney Harold Beckett had paid Theo for years to keep his own involvement secret. Both had reasons to want him silenced.
But a threatening message, a tampered back door, and evidence planted inside Camellia House warn Claire that someone is watching every move she makes. To expose the killer, she must reconstruct forty-seven missing seconds before another carefully buried secret makes her the next victim.
