A Fall Fair. A Rival’s Death, and A Bookstore Cafe Owner with everything to prove
Daphne Cole came to Tansy Ridge for a fresh start, a little peace and quiet and to prove to herself and maybe even her deceased husband that she can make a go of a Bookstore Cafe. But her big debut at the Fall Fair goes from sweet to sinister when her rival, café owner Nancy Harwood, is found dead the next morning... facedown in a tray of burnt muffins.
The sheriff says stay out of it. Daphne says she’s brainstorming…Crime solving adjacent.
With Mooney, her clue-sniffing sheepdog, and a mystery-loving book club ready to sleuth, Daphne follows a trail of shredded ledgers, coded recipes, and small-town secrets.
Suspects include Nancy’s gruff ex-husband, spotted lurking near her café the night before her death, and a nervous former partner who recently resurfaced with more questions than condolences.
Trouble is, not everyone appreciates a nosy newcomer with a big dog and a bigger curiosity—and someone’s trying to close the book on Daphne for good.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
