Murder at the Maplewood Cafe
(2026)(The first book in the Maple Hollow Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Tessa Teacraft
Sadie Harper didn't move to Maple Hollow to solve murders. She moved there to make good coffee and stop living out of a suitcase.
But when sharp-tongued food critic Evelyn Crane turns up dead in the alley behind Sadie's cafe, the whole town starts looking at Sadie sideways.
With her cat Muffin sniffing out clues nobody asked him to find, and the gossipy twins Hazel and Dot self-appointing as her unofficial investigative committee, Sadie starts pulling threads.
The baker had a grudge. The glittery cupcake vendor is hiding something. And the festival treasurer can't stop shaking long enough to look Sadie in the eye.
But the deeper Sadie digs into Evelyn's last investigation, the clearer it becomes: the real target wasn't Evelyn's sharp reviews. It was the secret she carried.
Now the killer knows Sadie found it too, and the Fall Festival has one more body to spare.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
