Dead-end Weekend
(2026)(The eighth book in the Tabitha Chase Days of the Week Mystery series)
A Story by Denise Jaden
Two amateur sleuths from opposite sides of the country. One seaside town. One murder neither of them can ignore.
Mallory Beck and her teenage friend Amber set off on an Oregon road trip with one goal: enjoy great food and visit prospective colleges. Solving a murder isn't on the itinerary.
But after stumbling across a clue that everyone else seems determined to ignore, they find themselves stranded in the picturesque town of Crystal Cove, where realtor-turned-baker Tabitha Chase and her remarkably intuitive cat, Sherlock, are no strangers to murder investigations.
As the unlikely team follows a trail of secrets through the coastal town, they soon discover someone is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the truth hidden. With danger closing in, Mallory, Amber, and Tabby will have to trust their instincts—and Sherlock's—if they hope to catch the killer before they become the next victims.
Perfect for fans of clean, cozy mysteries filled with charming small towns, memorable characters, lovable cats, and twists that keep you guessing.
