Publisher's summary

A murdered senior citizen. A dirty fight to claim the deceased’s assets. Can a small town bakery owner ask the right questions to reveal the real killer?

When Meghan’s most troublesome customer loses a relative, she’s torn between doing the right thing or minding her own business.

As she discovers that the murdered victim left a mark, both good and bad, on several people in Sandy Bay, it becomes obvious that her demise might be outside the realm of the ordinary. This leaves her with an equal measure of dread and awe.

Could the real motive behind the murder be linked to the deceased’s alleged wealth...or something much more sinister?

The police can’t investigate a murder when there’s no evidence....

Death follows life....

Clever cozy

When an unpleasant older person dies, is there a reason to suspect murder? The story is short and sweet. It kept me guessing. Enjoyed the mix up between the bakery and funeral home. What a wrong number! Thanks to the author for providing a copy for my voluntary review. I do so wish I could eat those muffins on the cover.

A well-written short read from a good author

Muffins and Coffins: Sandy Bay Cozy Mystery, Book 13, my fourteenth read from author Amber Crewes. Well-written & enjoyable. another cute, clean cozy mystery. I really enjoy the development of the supporting characters over the course of the series. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I was impressed and enjoyed the vocal variety & inflections of narrator Elena Marino who has become the voice for Meghan Truman. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

plenty going on in this town

I found the story quirky and interesting. The romance dialog seems a little hokey but I can live with it.

All the babe references between Jack & Meghan had “I’ve Got You, Babe” ear wormed for a few hours.

We have a few mysteries to solve:
Why is the bakery getting calls for coffins?
Did Mrs. Sheridan’s aunt die of natural causes, if not, what happened.
The story behind Mark Tilley.

In investigating Mrs. Sheridan’s disdain for her cousin Mark, a lot of dirty family secrets are rolled out. These point back to the aunt’s support of Mark all these years.

Prank Gone Bad?

A clean cozy that will make your mouth water. (I personally love muffins.) This is a relatively short cozy that has a death , (maybe by murder), long held family grudges, and lovable characters. I was gifted this from the author.

Amazing Mystery

Muffins and Coffins Book 13 is an outstanding mystery. Amber Crews is both the author as well as the narrator. Ms Crews is awesome at both! Sandi Bay has our warm friends, Megan, Jack, Trudy and Pamela. This wonderful story has muffins, coffins and murder. What fun.
