A Purr-fectly Poisonous Plot
(2025)(The first book in the Clementine Harper Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Lorna St James
If Clementine ’Clem’ Harper had known that serving blueberry scones would lead to murder, she would have stuck to toast.
The morning began like any other—tea brewing, cinnamon in the air of her Honey Hollow Inn—until Thomas Reed, the bakery owner, collapses on her porch while delivering some pastries.
Paramedics blame an allergic reaction, but Clem notices a bluish tinge on his lips, a bitter almond scent, and a strange residue on the pastry box.
Poison.
Now, this retired teacher turned Innkeeper must put her amateur sleuthing skills to the test. Along with her clever feline Evie, Clem enlists retired detective Finn Adler and her gossipy friend Mabel Pipkin to unravel the tangled web of secrets.
Is the killer Felix Thorne, the greedy banker drooling over Thomas’s recent inheritance? Or Anna Carbondale, the real estate agent desperate to acquire his property?
Then a mysterious photo arrives—Thomas, just before he dies—and a note that reads, ‘YOU'RE NEXT.’
Now Clem must find the killer fast, before they come back to finish the job.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
