Murder at Moonlight Hollow

Her bakery sells out by eight-fifteen. Her town keeps a much bigger secret.Iris Calloway knows everyone in Moonlight Hollow -- who takes their coffee black, who fudges the Harvest Festival raffle, and which handful of her neighbors have quietly gone without breakfast for a very long time. It's an open secret the whole town has protected for generations. Then the antiques dealer turns up dead behind his own counter, throat marked in a way designed to look exactly like the thing everyone has always politely pretended not to fear.With her sheriff best friend one step behind and her two-centuries-old neighbor Desmond Ashgrove reluctantly drawn in, Iris starts pulling at a case that isn't what it looks like at all -- a land grab dressed up as a monster story, and a killer counting on an entire town being too frightened to look closely. If Iris can't prove the bite marks are fake before the rumors take hold, Moonlight Hollow's oldest, gentlest arrangement may not survive the scandal, whether or not anyone ever finds the real killer.What's inside:- A warm, witty amateur-sleuth mystery with a found-family small-town cast- A low-key, cozy paranormal element -- no gore, no graphic violence- A charming bakery setting with plenty of cinnamon-roll atmosphere- A fair-play whodunit with a satisfying, fully wrapped-up ending- Gentle humor and genuine heart alongside the mysteryPerfect for readers who love cozy mysteries with a paranormal twist, small-town found family, and amateur sleuths who solve crimes between batches of scones.
