Murder at Moonlight Market
(2026)(The second book in the Jess and Jigsaw Mystery series)
A novel by Rayna Morgan
The fairy lights were still glowing when the body was found.
Dog daycare owner Jess Alexander was looking forward to a relaxing evening at Crystal Springs' inaugural Moonlight Market — artisan booths, kettle corn, and a night out with her best friend Zoey. Her border collie Jigsaw was thrilled too. But when sparks fly between two rival vendors in a very public showdown, Jess can't shake the uneasy feeling that trouble is brewing beneath the twinkling lanterns.
By morning, one of those vendors is dead.
Marla Green — passionate, prickly, and fiercely protective of her handcrafted products — has been strangled and left near her booth. The police have their prime suspect. Jess isn't convinced they have the right one.
With the sharp-nosed Jigsaw by her side and a knack for asking just the right questions, Jess begins untangling the truth hidden behind Crystal Springs' cheerful small-town façade. Feuds that run deeper than anyone admits. Secrets that vendors shared among themselves. And a killer who may have been closer than anyone realized.
But Police Chief Myers has never welcomed an amateur sleuth, and he's not about to start now. He would very much like Jess to mind her own business. Jigsaw, apparently, disagrees.
Murder at Moonlight Market is a warmhearted cozy mystery full of small-town charm, canine intuition, and the kind of community where everyone knows your business... and someone knows exactly what happened.
This book is the second book in the Jess and Jigsaw Mystery series, but may be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with lovable animal companions, engaging amateur sleuths, and small-town settings that feel like home.
Genre: Mystery
