Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying...
In a small town like Pembroke Cove, Maine, everyone has something to hide. But when bookstore owner Lily Michaels takes a tumble and hits her head, and her cat Milo starts talking to her, she discovers she has something to hide, too. She's a witch, and Milo is her familiar. And she's not the only one in town. Lily has been hiding something else, too. Even though she's always kept Gage Erikson in the friend zone, her feelings for the man Milo calls Detective Cutie go a lot deeper than she's willing to admit.
Gage has a secret too. He's always had a crush on Lily. But if he gives into his feelings, it might mess up the wonderful friendship they have. With his cowboy boots and cherry red pickup truck and knack for just letting folks talk, people might underestimate just how good a detective Gage actually is. But is he good enough to discover all of Lily's secrets?
Somebody in Pembroke knows a lot about the secrets people are keeping, and isn't above a little blackmail. While Lily struggles with learning how to be a witch, she works with Gage to uncover the truth, and a new kind of magic develops between them. Will they continue to be just friends, or will they finally admit to the secret love they've been hiding?

She doesn't need any more distractions, but when a car crashes just outside the bookstore, Lily is first on the scene. It's more than just an automobile accident. Bullet holes can be deadly. The victim, shady real estate agent Teddy Roberts, was dead before his fancy sports car ever hit that pole.
Investigating the crime scene is Detective Gage Erikson, or as Milo calls him, Detective Cutie. His crush on Lily is not-so-secret to anyone but her, but she's acting like he's a distraction she doesn't need. Is he her boyfriend, or just her best friend? He just needs to keep her out of trouble while he traces clues to the crime.
But a mystery is like catnip to Lily. She's willing to admit she has a tiny bit of a reputation for investigating things she shouldn't. She's trying to balance her growing feelings for Gage while keeping her witchy secret from him and solve a murder. Teddy had plenty of people with reasons to do him in. Will Lily's best protection spell be enough to keep her and Gage safe while they work together to catch a killer?

Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying...
Whose half-baked idea was it for bookstore owner and witch Lily Michaels to enter an amateur baking contest in her small town of Pembroke Cove, Maine? Her pie plate's already bubbling over learning about her witchy powers from her trusted companion and snarky familiar-a talking cat named Milo. Toss in solving a few murders while stirring in wedding planning, and Lily's stretched thin as an overworked pie crust.
Lily doesn't have the baking skills of her best friend, Nikki, who's an accomplished kitchen witch. As Milo says, Lily can barely boil water and his dear witch should stay out of the kitchen except when opening a package of smoked salmon. But why shouldn't she try baking? The crisp November air and approaching holiday season is the perfect inspiration for whipping up some seasonal goodies. It's not like somebody can die from eating a muffin, can they?
With help from Nikki, and the support of Lily's fiancé, police detective Gage Erikson-a.k.a. Detective Cutie-Lily preps for the Cranberry Bakeoff. But it's a recipe for disaster when a judge collapses. Was it an allergic reaction, or is someone tired of losing and tart fruits turned into sour grapes. The air is thick with suspicion, and it's up to puzzle-loving Lily to combine the right ingredients to catch a killer with their fingers in the cookie jar.
Cranberries & Criminals is the ninth novel in the A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series; although each book can be read as a standalone, it is best to read them in order. It is a sweet, clean, cozy mystery that guarantees the culprit is caught. Happy listening!

They're searching for books about amulets-precisely, the cursed Heart of the Soul, on display at the Olde Town Library in Pembroke Cove.

After the out-of-towners leave with the same frenzy as they entered, Milo reveals a secret that could change the coven of the Michaels witches forever.

They stumble upon the lifeless body of Petra Addington, one of the archeologists from the bookstore, clutching the Heart of the Soul amulet. Questions tumble through Lily's brain: How did Petra steal it, and why did she end up on the beach, dead? Could the reported curse from the Heart of the Soul have claimed a new victim?
With the clock ticking, Lily must uncover the amulet's secrets and protect those she loves. As she investigates the murder and Milo's past, the very foundation of Lily's life may change forever. Will her determination and skill as a witch be strong enough to solve the murder before there are more victims-including her beloved familiar?
