Welcome to Balefire Bay, Oregon. Here the cinnamon rolls are hot, the book club is loyal, and murder is just a plot twist away.
Ivy Kelly has finally found peace in the coastal town she now calls home. Not only does she have a book club that feels like family, she's entered an exciting new romance with her handsome boss.
But then someone drops dead at the Book and Tea Shop.
Ivy's gut insists it's murder. She even thinks the real target might be her boyfriend's prickly mother. Everyone else thinks past trauma is clouding her judgment... Until a celebratory boat ride turns deadly.
With a killer on the loose and danger hitting way too close to home, Ivy recruits her book club back into sleuthing mode. But solving the mystery means confronting feelings she'd rather keep buried and facing a past that never really let her go...
This cozy mystery is perfect for fans of small town whodunits, quirky book clubs, and scrappy amateur sleuths with heart!
If you enjoyed Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club, Agatha Christie's Murder is Announced or The Secret Book & Scone Society by Ellery Adams, you won't be able to put down MURDER BY THE BOOK, a cozy mystery, suspense, with a taste of romance.
