Murder at the Inn
(2025)(The first book in the Beth Sanders Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Iris Kingsley
A Critic's Just Desserts... Are Deadly.
Baker Beth Sanders is whisking up delights for Windy Hollow’s prestigious Culinary Expo when infamous critic Nigel Verner's acid tongue is permanently silenced – found dead by the dock. With her own public clash with Verner putting her on the overbearing Police Chief’s half-baked suspect list, Beth, her sharp-witted best friend Penny, and ever-loyal corgi Snickers, must sift through a mess of suspects.
Could it be the fiery Chef Dubois, whose temper and online poison searches are as hot as his flambé? Or elegant Chef Bellweather, whose past botanical dealings and unique plant fibers raise more than just eyebrows? Even smooth investor Julian Croft, whose initialed pen at the scene and a devastating secret Verner held over him looks like a recipe for disaster.
And when Croft’s slick investigator, Rick Doyle, starts stirring the pot, the recipe for disaster is complete.
Can she piece together the truth before a killer with a taste for vengeance serves her the final course?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
