Murder at the Garden Tour
(2026)(The sixth book in the Maplewood Bay Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Kaylynn Smith
A charming garden tour.
A poisonous surprise.
And one seaside B&B blooming with secrets.
When Blakely Monroe inherits the Oceanspray Bed & Breakfast, she expects overbooked rooms, nosy knitters, and maybe a crooked scarf or two—not a body among the roses. Slightly OCD and still learning to loosen her grip on life and her knitting needles, Blakely is determined to prove she belongs in Maplewood Bay, even when chaos takes root.
With her dog Scout and farmer-neighbor Bobby watching her back, Blakely digs into a mystery that refuses to stay buried. The victim, Mrs. Bailey, was disliked, making the suspect list bloom fast—from Gilda, a sharp-tongued rival gardener, to Morgan, a jittery guest hiding more than missing valuables.
As secrets surface and danger grows closer, Blakely discovers paths can twist like lies—and if she doesn’t uncover the truth in time, the next planting in Maplewood Bay could be grave.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
