A New Lease on Life and Murder
(2025)(A book in the Sam Baker Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Cass Landri
When the town grump is killed, everyone's a suspect.
Former journalist Sam Baker buys a small-town bakery in Ashford Peaks, hoping to bake up a fresh start.
What she doesn’t expect is to find the town’s prickly recluse, Ellie, dead shortly after she arrives.
The police seem uninterested and quickly dismiss the death as nothing more than natural causes.
A mysterious letter suggests there is more to it, dragging Sam back into the investigative life she wanted to leave behind.
From a disappearing guest and a herbalist with dangerous secrets, to a lurking stranger and old family debts, everyone has something to hide—and a reason to want Ellie gone for good.
With help from Diggie, an orphaned dog with a nose for the truth; Hazel, the fiery town matriarch; and Lily, the energetic town gossip, Sam begins to unravel a web of secrets woven into the town's dark history.
As Sam gets closer to the truth, it becomes clear that the killer is still watching. If she isn’t careful, her new beginning could end before it even starts.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
