The Coastal Cupcake Caper

A Carolina Canines Cozy Mystery

Cupcakes, Chaos, and Canine Detectives—Oh My!

What's worse than a missing recipe book? How about guests collapsing into their afternoon tea!

When dog trainer Bea Whitman checks into the quirky Seaside Haven B&B, she's hoping for beach walks and legendary cupcakes. Instead, she gets a front-row seat to the dessert disaster of the century. The owner's in the hospital, her prized recipe book has vanished, and now a guest is seeing purple cats after one bite of the famous Coastal Dream cupcakes.

Good thing Bea's brought backup: Luna, her sweet golden and therapy dog, and Max, a feisty French Bulldog whose detective skills are rivaled only by his ability to find trouble (and snacks). Together, this crime-solving trio must sniff out the truth behind the B&B's sudden plague of tummy troubles.

Between a developer who won't take no for an answer, a zen-obsessed rival innkeeper caught dumpster-diving for recipes, and enough family secrets to fill a cookbook, everyone's acting fishier than yesterday's catch. And just when Bea thinks the case is her biggest challenge, life serves up a plot twist sweeter than any cupcake!

The Coastal Cupcake Caper is a delightfully silly romp through small-town mayhem, complete with adorable dogs, terrible baking puns, and a mystery that'll keep you guessing. Perfect for readers who like their cozies with extra frosting and a side of puppy kisses.

Warning: May cause uncontrollable cravings for cupcakes and an urgent need to adopt a French Bulldog from your local rescue!

Delightful!

It was charming and fun; just like the Carolinas. Ms Boyd delightfully captures the South and spins a good tale!
