Capers and Carnage
(2022)(The third book in the Myrtle Lake Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Constance Barker
Welcome to The Blue Spruce Coffee Shop Where the Java is Hot and the Murder is Cold BloodedThe Purcell women love this time of year in New England: pumpkins, fallen leaves, and Myrtle Lake’s annual Harvest Festival! They’re busy decorating the coffee shop and whipping up spicy autumn treats as their neighbors trade quips and crack wise.
Then Jameson Creel, owner of the village’s sole convenience store, dies in a highly suspicious car crash. Despite the Sheriff’s warning to stay out of official business, Carla, Charlie, and retired detective Saylor Reeves jump into the fray, eager to settle matters before their seasonal shindig hits high gear. They surface suspects like a militant mechanic, a mutinous manager, and a lax lawman, and feel they’re about to close the case in record time.
Then law enforcement latches onto village favorite Jarvis the sea captain as prime suspect, and the coffee shop crew surges into overdrive. As they fight frantically to untangle the clues in time to save their friend, news comes that the creepy lights in the forest aren’t spectral at all. Folks see human figures laboring in the dark.
But who’s out there? And what are they doing under cover of night?
Carla and Charlie have a bad feeling about this one.
Something stinks in Myrtle Lake, and it's not just the bird turds found in the wrecked muscle car. Only the Myrtle Lake crew can root out the rot.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
