A Case for the Cookie Baker

Itโ€™s all fun and games until the last cookie crumblesโ€ฆ

Ainsley McGregorย and the entire town of Sweet River, Texas, are preparing for the annual summer celebration. And thanks to the extra tourist traffic, Ainsleyโ€™s shop, Bless Your Art, has never been busier. Good thing her new friend, Lizzie, has opened a bakery nearby and provides Ainsley and her staff with tasty treats and daily sugar rushes. Itโ€™s all cookies and fun, until someone ends up dead in the bakery and her new pal is the prime suspect.

Ainsley is convinced Lizzie is innocent. Unfortunately, her brother, the town sheriff, and her boyfriend, Jake, have some not-so-secret suspicions. With a town full of strangers who just might be suspects, Ainsley finds herself targeted by a killer. Even as her world crumbles faster than a cookie, sheโ€™s determined to prove her friendโ€™s innocenceโ€”if she can stay alive long enough.

Cupid, Cupcakes and Carnage

Itโ€™ll be a Valentineโ€™s Day to celebrateโ€ฆif she makes it out alive.

Brilliant bakerย Rosie Hartย is busier than ever as she prepares for Airlie Fallsโ€™s famed Valentineโ€™s Day Farmers and Craft Market. The last thing she needs as she races to frost her cashew nut cakes is the mysterious appearance of a dead body found on her new fiancรฉ, Jonahโ€™s, property. To add icing to the cupcake, another long-dead body is found buried underneath it. For goodness bakes!

Rosie vows to leave the investigating to the sheriff this timeโ€”she has enough to juggle with her baking business and her nonagenarian friends who are entranced by a new seniors dating app. But when rumors begin affecting Jonahโ€™s construction business, enough is enough. Getting answers will mean retracing the unexplained disappearance of a woman ten years earlierโ€”a woman who had a dalliance with a now-famous actor and is supposedly speaking through a clairvoyant.

Can Rosie solve the case in time to ensure this Valentineโ€™s Day is remembered for all the right reasons?

When everyoneโ€™s in costume, even a killer can hide in plain sightโ€ฆ

Sister Bernadette Ohlson planned a quiet weekend in Seattle catching up with her old friend Sister Eleanorโ€”not tracking down her murderer. But when Eleanor improbably turns up dead after having a cocktail with a cosplaying character during Comic Con, Sister Bernie refuses to return safely home and pray for answers.

From movie characters to anime icons, every cosplayer could be a suspectโ€”and every clue seems to lead to a dead end.

Fans of witty amateur sleuth mysteries, fun-loving characters, and page-turning whodunits will love this lighthearted mystery set amid the chaos and cosplay of Comic Con. Perfect for readers of Richard Osman, Jeanne M. Dams, and Jana DeLeon.

A Corgi Conundrum

A Corgi Conundrum

You would think Iโ€™d have my life together after helping to solve a few small-town murders and launching a thriving dog grooming business.

But, I,ย Leslie Winters,ย am the definition of a dog chasing its tail.

Since my lovely boyfriend, Detective Adam Waltz, hasnโ€™t popped the question, I figure helping my best friendโ€™s husband out and subbing in the ag department to teach the kids dog grooming was a good way toย spend my free timeย ย and earn some extra money.

I didnโ€™t expect to find the middle-school secretary dead in the ag barn, let alone her corgi leading me right to the body.

Adam tells me to stay out of this crime, but this was on my turf. If someone has a chance to get to the bottom of who would poison an innocent old ladyย in the barn, well, itโ€™s going to be the bestโ€”and onlyโ€”dog groomer and substitute agriculture teacher in Pecan, Texas.

Regardless of the danger barking my way.
