Murder by Muffin!

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.

Intrigue at Every Swing: Elkins’ Nasty Breaks

Be sure to check out last week’s special offer: Grab the Back-to-School Snacks bundle for only $9.99—perfect for delicious reading and snacking this school year! 📚✨

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

Nasty Breaks is the first book that I have read in the Lee Ofsted Mysteries series by writing team Charlotte and Aaron Elkins. No problem reading it as a stand alone mystery; the plot and character dynamics were easy to grasp, allowing me to dive right into the story without any prior knowledge.

In this installment, Lee Ofsted unexpectedly finds herself entangled in a kidnapping and murder mystery while conducting a golf class on Block Island. Does she shy away from investigating it? I’ll give you a hint — not a chance. Boyfriend Graham Sheldon, a former cop, is there to help her out and give a few ideas from the law enforcement perspective, but he’s not there when Lee figures it all out.

What starts as a seemingly relaxing “working vacation” for Lee quickly turns into anything but a break!


…it was a pleasure, for a change, not to be fretting about some tournament she was on her way to. All she had to do for the next five days was give a few short-game lessons, do a little friendly coaching and collect her $5,000.

Charlotte and Aaron Elkins, Nasty Breaks
Summary

Nothing proves that golf is a killer of a game better than the Lee Ofsted mystery series. With a feisty sleuth who is a pro in the Women’s Professional League, authors Charlotte and Aaron Elkin give an authentic insider’s view of the sport while they break par with witty humor, clever plots, and top-rated suspense.

The golf course on bucolic Block Island has only nine holes, its fairways are swaths of meadow open to gusty sea breezes, and the “greens” are just compacted sand. Surprisingly, Lee Ofsted, there to teach golf to the executives of a local salvage company, doesn’t mind. The setting is lovely, the rustic inn at which she is staying is charming, and the pay–$1,000 a day–will go a long way toward covering her expenses during her third year on the pro tour. but will it be compensation enough for solving a murder?

After a bizarre, botched kidnapping of his sexy wife, the owner of the salvage company turns up dead on the beach. Lee can’t resist doing a little nosing around, and soon discovers that nearly every manager at the company has a motive for murder. Plunging into the case, she asks her boyfriend, Graham Sheldon, a former California cop, for his expert help. Before long, the two of them are involved in a tale of greed and ruthless ambition that stretches back in time almost two hundred years, to the sunken treasure ship Good Hope, which went down in these very waters.

As the pieces of the puzzle come together, Lee has to size up her competition–just as she would in a golf match. Only this time clutching under pressure could be fatal. For Lee Ofsted knows too much for the killer to let her live….

Praise for the Series:

— P D Workman has done it again; created a cast of characters and a storyline that are captivating and enthralling. Once I started this cozy I didn’t want to put it down (which can be a bad thing when you have a family to take care of…lol). I can’t wait for the other books in this series. I think Reg is going to turn out to be one of my favorite new characters. Pick up your copy as soon as possible.

— This book has all my favourite things: heart, great writing, nearly-flawless editing, something unusual in the air, and a cat. I needed a light read, and this fit the bill perfectly. Recommended.

— An exciting tale of magical adventure with lots of action from P.D Workman

—Another great work of art by Ms. Workman. I am amazed at the diversity of her writing and how much I really enjoy them all. She can write cozy mystery, YA books that should be read by all, medical thrillers, Zach Goldman series and now a paranormal series. I am so glad to have found this author. I am honored that I get to read them early also.

—This book has all my favourite things: heart, great writing, nearly-flawless editing, something unusual in the air, and a cat. I needed a light read, and this fit the bill perfectly. Recommended.

—This book actually surprised me. I knew that a psychic cat would be entertaining. I just didn’t expect it to be this good. You really do get wrapped up in the people and story. It sounds like a fairly gentle story, but there is a lot of suspense involved. Add a bunch of humor to the mix and you are in for a treat. I love the characters. Wish I had some friends like them. And the cat is so very well done. Acts like a typical cat, but a lot smarter than his human. This is a story that you don’t want to put down.

—Extremely well written as are all of P.D. Workman’s books, the characters well developed. I’m a character reader, I get into the characters. Who and what they are. Why they do the things they do. The things that make a reader get invested into the characters and thereby the book. I look forward to P.D. Workman’s next book.

“I’ll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on.”

“Every book by PD Workman that I’ve read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones… this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors.”

“P.D. Workman is an incredibly versatile writer. No matter which of her books I read I am drawn into a great story and honestly, I don’t think I’ve followed another author that could go from cozy mystery to YA to a PI series dealing with mental health issues. Really enjoy her books!”

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

“P. D. Workman, does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.”

“Once again P.D.Workman has created an intense psychological mystery that impacts a wallop of thought induction. The writing is so well developed and draws you into the characters story.”

A Fatal Game of Cat and Mouse

A story that will make your heart skip a beat

📚💖 Exciting New Release Alert! Pulse is here! Join Joseph on an adventure filled with mystery and friendship.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”

In The Second Mouse, by Archer Mayor, Joe Gunther is on the case of an apparent natural death. Or maybe the woman drank herself to death. But Joe is suspicious of the apparently natural death of a young woman and can’t shake his doubts about the man who may have wanted her out of the picture. Is he onto something significant, or is he simply searching for drama in an otherwise uneventful case? After all, every death leaves behind its share of unanswered questions.

Meanwhile, a second storyline unfolds involving three individuals on a crime spree that appears initially unrelated to Gunther’s investigation. Until Mayor brings the two storylines together, I have absolutely no idea! I am looking forward to finding out. An intriguing case. Good characterization and a page-turner police procedural.


“What I would like to know,” Joe finally said, “is what happened to the cat.”

Archer Mayor, The Second Mouse
What happened to the cat Summary

The Second Mouse takes Joe Gunther and his team off their Brattleboro home turf, forty-two miles west, to chip-on-its-shoulder, blue collar Bennington.

In Wilmington, VT, Gunther encounters the lifeless body of Michelle Fisher. Her corpse, pale and seemingly at peace, offers him no clues about who she was or how she died. There are no signs of violence, no disorder. Snapshots and postcards show a woman who laughed hard and lived harder.

Yet diaries reveal a rootless life marred by depression and drink. Suicide seems a reasonable conclusion, but Gunther suspects foul play. The house is for sale, after all, and Michelle was its only tenant, resisting all efforts to have her evicted. The unsavory landlord is a prime suspect, but safely equipped with an impressively air-tight alibi.

To uncover the truth about the fate of this discarded, all but forgotten woman, Gunther must follow a confusing trail of half leads and mounting crimes. He draws near to a violent and careless trio of criminals, whose leader is hell bent on making the career move of a lifetime—disregarding anyone in his way.

Art, Mystery, and Intrigue: Exploring “Michelangelo’s Ghost”

Don’t miss my latest releases! Join Detective Margie ‘Parks Pat’ Patenaude as she unravels chilling mysteries in Calgary’s parks. Perfect for mystery lovers!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

Michelangelo’s Ghost is the first book I’ve read from Gigi Pandian’s Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery Series. Jaya is an engaging protagonist with lots of spirit, eclectic tastes, and passion. She has two love interests in this volume, but the mystery takes center stage. After the death of her former professor, Jaya is off to Italy chasing ghosts, centuries-old rumors, and a priceless treasure.

I did see some of the twists coming ahead of time, but they were still well-executed and kept me engaged throughout. I had no trouble reading it as a standalone mystery even though it’s my first dip into the series.


I’m not crazy, Jaya. I’m not. This time, the ghost is real.

Gigi Pandian, Michelangelo’s Ghost
I'm not crazy, Jaya. I'm not.This time, the ghost isreal. Summary

A lost work of art linking India to the Italian Renaissance. A killer hiding behind a centuries-old ghost story. And a hidden treasure in Italy’s macabre sculpture garden known as the Park of Monsters…

Filled with the unexpected twists, vivid historical details, and cross-cultural connections Pandian is known for, Michelangelo’s Ghost is the most fast-paced and spellbinding Jaya Jones novel to date.

When Jaya’s old professor dies under eerie circumstances shortly after discovering manuscripts that point to a treasure in Italy’s Park of Monsters, Jaya and her brother pick up the trail. From San Francisco to the heart of Italy, Jaya is haunted by a ghost story inexorably linked to the masterpieces of a long-dead artist and the deeds of a modern-day murderer. Untrustworthy colleagues, disappearing boyfriends, and old enemies–who can Jaya trust when the ghost wails?
