Chili, Cornbread & Clues
(2025)(The fourth book in the Comfort Food Confessions series)
A novel by Lucy Lemon
When Blitz, Maine’s beloved chili cook-off ends with the shocking death of local contractor Earl Thompson, café owner Lila Hart finds herself at the center of a simmering mystery. What should have been a celebration of comfort food turns into a hunt for a killer hiding behind small-town smiles. With her best friend Ruby’s quick wit, Detective Mark’s steady resolve, and her loyal pup Goose, Lila peels back layers of secrets that threaten to unravel the town she loves.
As a dangerous game of power, poison, and deception unfolds, the Queen of Hearts appears where it’s least expected—reminding Lila that not all villains lurk in the shadows. To bring justice to Earl, she’ll have to confront the past, expose the lies, and fight for the soul of Blitz. Cozy may be comforting, but in this coastal town, murder has a recipe all its own.
