Murder of the Century
(2025)(The third book in the Amelia Clark Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Kara Post
A centennial celebration, a seaside secret, and one historian who won’t live to see the parade.
Maple Shores is decked out for its hundred-year anniversary until the beloved town historian is found dead among the decorations. In an instant, confetti turns to crime scenes and lemonade to alibis.
Retired librarian Amelia Clark expected lemon tarts and nostalgia, not crime scenes and suspects. But when the murder threatens to derail the town’s biggest event, curiosity and Duke, her Golden Retriever with a nose for trouble, pull her into the case. With gossip-queen Nora stirring up more chatter than the parade band, Amelia learns the victim’s research had exposed secrets others would kill to hide.
Sylvia Byrne’s family stood to lose everything. Ben Prendergast’s shady land deal was next on the historian’s list. Now, as lanterns glow and danger closes in, Amelia must solve the mystery before Maple Shores adds her name to its history.
Genre: Historical Mystery
