Death at the Signing

An Emma Carter Cozy Mystery

Murder Is Served at the Spring Literary Festival.

April should bring blossoms and book sales to Emma Carter’s cozy bookstore—not a bestselling author dead on the floor.

When icy mystery star Vivian Sterling collapses during a signing, Emma’s world tilts off its tidy axis—and the sheriff is quick to remind her that she brewed the tea. Branded a suspect, Emma has no choice but to investigate.

Luckily, she isn’t alone. Jake, her longtime secret crush, and his sharp-eyed dog, Chewie, are right there to help.

Suspicion stretches beyond town limits to a bitter rival author with a stolen manuscript and a sister hiding secrets behind polished smiles. A resentful ghostwriter lurks, a grumpy local glowers from the sidelines, and the mayor pressures everyone to protect the festival’s image.

With red herrings everywhere and sparks flying when she least expects them, Emma races to unmask a killer.

Failing means more than a ruined festival—it could cost Emma her freedom.
