(2026)(The fifth book in the Hazel Winslow Cozy Murder Mystery series)
A novel by A P Wells
One man’s trash. Another man’s murder.
Hazel Winslow’s small-town bookstore is thriving, and her adorable puppy Watson is now a sassy teenager. Her gossipy best friend Tilly helps keep things lively. Life is good.
Then, she stumbles upon the murdered body of a prominent, hated antique dealer.
And the mysterious, priceless antique he’s been bragging about? Missing.
Now, she and Watson are on the case to sniff out the killer and the missing artifact. But these ain’t your grandma’s friendly antique buddies.
Terrifying, recently paroled antique hunter Grizzly Burton was overheard telling the dead man to settle his debts— or else.
And Evelyn Price, the museum curator neck deep in forgery accusations, says her shiny new exhibits are just a coincidence.
Everyone’s got a secret. Grudges run deep, and accusations get physical. Then the break-ins start. Time’s running out. The killer’s getting desperate.
This murder wasn’t just business. It was personal.
And if Hazel can’t solve the case in time…
She and Watson are next.
