Beagles Love Vows and Villains
(2026)(The fifth book in the Beagle Diner Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by C A Phipps
Wedding bells, buried secrets, and a beagle who knows too much.
When ex-celebrity chef Lyra St. Claire agrees to help plan the wedding of her assistant and close friend, Maggie, she’s determined to make the big day flawless. Maggie deserves her happily-ever-after with Lyra’s trusted security guard, Dan.But just as the guest list fills with familiar faces and one very unexpected surprise guest, wedding bliss turns into wedding mayhem—when a body is discovered, and the celebration comes to a screeching halt.
With suspicion swirling faster than cake batter, Lyra finds herself pulled into another murder investigation—whether she likes it or not. Fortunately, she’s not sleuthing alone. Cinnamon, her clever beagle with a nose for trouble (and secrets), is more than happy to sniff out clues the humans miss.
Between quirky pets, tight-knit friendships, and a growing list of suspects who all seem to have something to hide, Lyra must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again—or the wedding ends in tragedy.
Beagles Love Vows and Villains is a charming, laugh-out-loud culinary cozy packed with friendship, found family, wedding chaos, and a beagle who proves that love—and justice—are always worth chasing.
