A small town, a four-store mall, and a killer on the loose. Mattie, the proprietor of the bakery, watches the other three co-owners and her customers become totally engrossed after she finds the man from the shoe store murdered.
The two main police officers question everyone involved. To their dismay, they all lack alibis. In fact, each of them has an acceptable motive to kill. The dead man hasn't endeared himself to anyone... past or present. Even some of his satisfied customers are furious after finding they've been swindled.
This cozy mystery will keep you asking the riddle you won't be able to solve. In this lovely small town, full of upstanding, warm-hearted people... who can possibly be a cold-blooded killer?
NYT & USA Today, best-selling, award-winning author, Mimi Barbour, lives on the beautiful east coast of Vancouver Island and writes her romances with tongue-in-cheek and a mad glint in her eye. Asked why she prefers paranormal or suspenseful romance, she answers, chuckling... "Because it's fun! Imagination can be a lot more interesting than what happens in real life to so-called normal people. I love my characters, and my goal is to make the readers love them also. To care about what happens to them while the tale unfolds. If I can steal my booklover's attention away from their everyday grind, absorb them in a fantasy world, and make them care about the ending, then I've done my job. "Thinking back, writing my first romantic suspense novel switched the hard work into fun, and I've not looked back. I love writing about men and women finding each other and falling in love. Along the way, it pleases me to fill their travels with gritty conflicts -- spiced up with lots of humor and seasoned with a few tears, but always with endings that are happy."
