We love a cozy mystery title with a pun, and we're happy to share that we have quite a few of them being released this month! From a coffee tour in Costa Rica to a duck pool construction site to a donut cafe and a tarot business, pick up these new releases for some amateur sleuthing!
Jules Capshaw is mixing business with leisure as she leaves her bakeshop Torte and trades Oregon for Costa Rica on a coffee tour. Unfortunately, murder seems to follow her wherever she goes.
When someone turns up dead in the organic coffee farm where they're staying, she'll have to once again do a bit of amateur sleuthing, this time while on vacation..
Meg Langslow is overseeing the construction of a duck pond at her brother's new place, but all work stops when a skeleton with a bullet hole to the head is found during excavation. To make matters worse, the previous owner of the house who still lives in the property disappears a day after the discovery.
A ruthless property developer is found dead next to a box of Emily Westhill's popular donuts and Emily puts together a list of possible suspects: the mayor, a handsome out-of-towner and Izzy, a new regular at the Deputy Donut Cafe who had her sights on buying the land where the murder took place.
Ava Goldberg just wants to run Cafe Arcana and her tarot business, but when her ex-husband and current flame are suspected of the murder of the town's high school football commentator, she has to roll up her sleeves and find the real killer while celebrating a holiday.
