A Cape Cod shop owner and her book club must find a crafty killer in
this charming new series from the Agatha-nominated author of the Country
Store Mystery series.
Summer is busy season for Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida's bicycle shop,
nestled in the quaint, seaside hamlet of Westham, Massachusetts. She's
expecting an influx of tourists at Mac's Bikes; instead she discovers
the body of Jake Lacey. Mac can't imagine anyone stabbing the
down-on-his-luck handyman. However, the authorities seem to think Mac is
a strong suspect after she was spotted arguing with Jake just hours
before his death. Mac knows she didn't do it, but she does recognize
the weapon--her brother Derrick's fishing knife.
Mac's only experience with murder investigations is limited to the cozy
mysteries she reads with her local book group, the Cozy Capers. So to
clear her name--and maybe her brother's too--Mac will have to summon
help from her Cozy Capers co-investigators and a library's worth of
detectives' tips and tricks. For a small town, Westham is teeming with
possible killers, and this is one mystery where Mac is hoping for
anything but a surprise ending...
