Murder at the Flower Festival
(2025)(The first book in the Winnie Cooper Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Poppy Hastings
A Pup, a Gnome and a Murder!
Winnie Cooper was just here for the puppy - a ridiculously cute Jack Russell named Cookie—on her way to claim her surprise inheritance: a lakeside café, a garden gone wild, and hopefully, a quiet new life.
But fate, apparently, had other plans.
Winnie’s quick stop in Meadowbrook aligned with the famous Flower Festival, and things go full telenovela: sabotage, secrets, stolen funds, gossip, and a garden judge dead behind the shed!
Cause of death? Blunt force trauma via garden gnome - with Winnie’s scarf under the corpse and Cookie’s paw prints marching through the evidence.
Oh Gnome!
Small-town charm? Try small-town chaos!
Desperate to clear her name and protect Cookie, Winnie teams up with Hank, the town's grumpiest gardener, to dig through layers of blackmail, embezzlement, and rivalries. But when Cookie nearly gets poisoned, and warnings go awry, Winnie realizes someone will kill to keep their secrets buried.
With her café dreams about to crumble and Cookie in danger, can a burned-out banker and one determined puppy sniff out the killer before it's too late?
Wickedly witty, this cozy is packed with twists, and small-town shenanigans - this is one cozy you won’t be able to put down.
A charming prequel to the Winnie Cooper Cozy Mystery Series
A gnome to the dome. A scandal in full bloom. And a city girl caught holding the trowel.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
