Books, Biscotti & Betrayal
(2026)(The sixth book in the Just Desserts Club Mysteries series)
A novel by Daisy James
An English village bookshop, a cornucopia of literary treats, and one very dead crime author - can Lottie catch the killer before the final chapter?
Books, biscotti… and a body!
Little Sweeting is buzzing with excitement. Bestselling crime writer Russell Carlton is arriving to launch his much-anticipated new novel at the village bookshop, and the tickets are like gold dust. To celebrate the coup, Lottie Chadwick has baked a batch of literary-themed delights – from Murder Mystery Muffins and Plot Twist Profiteroles to Red Herring Raspberry Tarts and Cliffhanger Cupcakes – hoping the treats might sweeten Russell’s famously acerbic tongue.
But no amount of Alibi Apple Strudel or Spine-Tingling Scones can prevent the celebrity author from ruffling feathers and bruising egos. So when Russell is found dead on the floor of the green room, struck down by a heavy book press, the literary party of the year turns into a real-life whodunnit.
With gossip spreading through the village like clotted cream on warm scones, Lottie and her friends in the Just Desserts Club must once again don their deerstalkers and follow the clues.
Can they solve the mystery before the killer decides it’s time for another plot twist?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
