Gluten-Free Murder

Erin Price moves to Bald Eagle Falls, a place where everyone knows everyone as well as everyone else’s business, taking over the store left to her by her aunt to start up a gluten-free bakery. The grand opening is marred by just one thing, the death of her business rival, Angela Plaint. It appears that Angela was poisoned by one of Erin’s cupcakes, making her a prime suspect.

Equipped with cupcakes, her desire for the truth, and new bakery assistant Vicky’s help, Erin goes head-to-head against Detective Terry Piper to solve the murder. Rumors of treasure hunting, drug dealing, and a missing boy swirl around Bald Eagle Falls as Erin tries to sort the clues from the red herrings and find the killer before the killer can take care of her.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ P.D. Workman has done it again! This introduction to a new series involves a fresh start, sympathetic characters, and a murder. I spent the last ten minutes of the book standing up to read because I was off to do something but just couldn’t put it down until I got to the end. I haven’t been that invested in a book in a while.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Couldn’t put it down !! From a cute kitten to a police dog to a bakery for people with allergies ! Highly recommend!

Chocolate Cherry Murder

Nothing goes better with chocolate than murder-soaked cherries…

Baking duo, Ruby and Bee, have had a blast serving their treats in the tiny, cozy town of Yesterday. Things are looking up—they’re the go-to baking solution for many businesses and events in town, including the Yesterday Ballroom Dancing Contest.

With a kitchen to themselves, a metric ton of cherries to soak in cherry liquor, and music all around, it’s shaping up to be an exciting weekend. Until the star couple of the contest turn up dead on the night of the event. With the local sheriff completely out of his depth, Ruby and Bee are more than happy to help. It’s just a pity that the killer has noticed…

Hamburgers & Homicide

Bluebonnet Trails Bike Race is coming up and Poppy is laser-focused on getting her food truck ready for the crowds. Her tireless assistant, Kim, is there every step of the way—creating recipes, sourcing ingredients, and spending hot Texas days in what amounts to a large metal box—until a wrong step sends her to the hospital with a broken leg.

Afraid she is going to miss out on the race crowds, Poppy quickly hires a temporary assistant. Everything is back on track until her new help stumbles out of the food truck, a kitchen knife plunged in her gut. She manages to utter one word before passing—“Poppy.”

Now Poppy is again without an assistant, and people aren’t exactly lining up to help, considering previous help ended up in the hospital and morgue, respectively. Oh, and there is the little problem that half the town now believes she is a murderer.


Dying for Dominoes

Four ambitious women risk losing it all when they play to win… while the husband dies trying.

Amy Sparks owns Tiddlywinks Players Club at the Cardboard Cottage & Company where the game is always afoot. Her friends love dominoes and competitive camaraderie, bending the rules just enough to pursue life with a little moxie and mischief.

When Amy learns her best friend wants husband number four gone and then he’s found dead, she fears a not-so-innocent game of dominoes has turned into premeditated murder.

Who killed the husband?

Scrambled evidence and sketchy alibis compel her to uncover the truth before they all land in jail. Unraveling the facts and the fibbery in a fast-paced misadventure through the back roads of Arkansas, Amy finds the courage to face her doubts and the true meaning of friendship. All while hunting down a killer on the run.

An entertaining new author for mystery readers craving armchair travel and a sisterhood on the other side of middle age who determined to reach their bucket list destinations. A cozy mystery with games, fluffy cats, and women whose southern sass is anything but cookie-cutter sweet, this series invites book fans to ride along for high drama adventure and amateur sleuthing in a puzzle and plot-driven whodunnit.

The Magical Bookshop

Books, magic, and a cat with character!

Travel to Charing Cross Road in London and join sales assistant Jemma, bookshop owner Raphael and Folio the cat in three spellbinding cozy mysteries.

Every Trick In The Book

When Jemma James takes a job at Burns Books, the second-worst secondhand bookshop in London, she finds her ambition to turn it around thwarted at every step. Raphael, the owner, is more interested in his newspaper than sales. Folio the bookshop cat has it in for Jemma, and the shop itself appears to have a mind of its own. Or is it more than that?

Gradually Jemma starts to make a difference … and then the anonymous letters start arriving. Who is behind them, and why?

Brought to Book

Business is booming at Burns Books — so much so that Jemma and Raphael hire a new assistant. And that’s when things start to go wrong.

Luke’s helpful, he’s knowledgeable, and the customers like him. So why is the shop up to its old tricks, and a few new ones?

Jemma and Carl take it upon themselves to investigate, and end up finding out a lot more than they bargained for. Will working at the bookshop ever be the same again?

Double Booked

Jemma’s dream of running her own bookshop is becoming a nightmare. She has plenty of ideas, but her assistant Maddy is resistant to change. Come to that, so are the customers.

To distract herself, Jemma gets involved in Raphael’s attempt to recruit a new member of staff — but that doesn’t go entirely to plan either, as his wider team turns against him.

Arrowed

It all began when a dying man with an arrow in his chest grabs her ankle.

During a heat wave at a Santa Fe resort, Julienne has the resort owner pressuring her to solve the murder. The victim is a high profile business man who made enemies rather than friends, leaving Julienne with a roster of suspects. She was supposed to be training the staff and spending quality time with Mason rather than investigating a murder. The heat turns up when an old girlfriend of Mason’s checks in and is determined to get back together.

When the Cat’s Away

From all-inclusive cruises to all-American road trips, sometimes we all just need to get away. And what better escape than into the pages of a book?
