A Recipe for Death
A Down South Cafe Mystery
Competition can be murder!
When a flashy new food truck rolls into Winter Garden, Amy Flowers isn't thrilled, but she's not rattled either. The Down South Cafe has delicious food, loyal customers, and a reputation for comfort that no passing trend can shake. At least, that's what she thinks...until the food truck's proprietor drops dead after sampling pastries from the cafe.
With whispers spreading faster than sweet tea on a hot day, Amy suddenly finds her newly minted partnership with Scott and Jackie under threat. Determined to clear the cafe's name, Amy rallies her crew, and no one is more enthusiastic to help than Aunt Bess, who dives into undercover mode with her trademark flair.
As secrets simmer and suspects multiply, Amy must stir through a tangle of motives before the killer cooks up another deadly dish. In Winter Garden, solving a murder might just take a whole lot of heart...and a dash of Southern grit.
Designs on Murder
What if you discovered your lively new friend wasn't really...alive?
Amanda Tucker is excited about opening her fashion design studio in Shops On Main, a charming old building in historic Abingdon, Virginia. She didn't realize a ghost came with the property! But soon Maxine "Max" Englebright, a young woman who died in 1930, isn't the only dead person at the retail complex. Mark Tinsley, a web designer with a know-it-all attitude who also rented space at Shops On Main, is shot in his office.
