A Deadly Web of Secrets
(2026)(The fourth book in the Twisted Cupcake Mystery series)
A Story by Daisy Stone
Some birthdays you never forget. This one, Evie wishes she could.
Constance Harrington's seventy-fourth birthday should have been champagne and cake, not a stranger convulsing on the drawing room floor. But that's exactly what happens when Richard Blackwood—a man Evie's never met, back in Harborview after forty years away—collapses mid-toast. And Evie's ferret, Bandit, barely survives licking the evidence.
Richard came home to confess. He never got the chance.
The deeper Evie digs, the more her family's gilded history unravels—a warehouse fire in 1985, a fortune built on a dead man's stolen patents, and a grandfather who buried anyone who threatened the Harrington name. Including, it turns out, his own son.
Her grandmother is hiding secrets. Her brother would rather bury the truth than face it. And somewhere in Harborview, someone has already killed once to keep forty years of silence intact.
They won't hesitate to do it again.
In Harborview, family isn't just complicated.
It's lethal.
Perfect for fans of chaotic amateur sleuths, mischievious pets, grumpy detective tension, and cozy mysteries with humor, heart, and a dash of romance.
This is Book 4 in the Twisted Cupcake Mysteries. Each book features a complete mystery, but the character relationships and romance develop across the series. Best read in order.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
