Her back is against the wall. Plans for a thriving cheesecake shop have failed. Her swoony relationship with the hot chief of police barely exists.
Then, she takes on a catering job that changes everything. She finds a body. In the kitchen. A piece of lemon meringue pie on the floor.
This is not what she wanted, not with her and Trent teetering on the edge of a break-up.
An obnoxious reporter, looking for clicks, suggests she is a top suspect, because Lemon Meringue & Murder makes a catchy headline. A local detective hints she’s guilty, because she had access, because she was there. Now, she must chase down clues to prove her innocence.
Why does the top detective have it out for her? It’s the cold, naked hatred that confuses and scares Holly. She’ll need everyone in order to figure this one out.
Nothing could prepare her for the bombshell truth at the end...
I write cozy mysteries with heart and humor. I love a lot of things about writing and reading stories that have mystery and romance. I love the puzzle of a whodunnit and witty banter between characters who love to hate each other. Especially, when they don’t know they are falling in love.
