Slice of Life Cozy Mystery

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, everyone in Westhaven seems to have love on their mind...all except for my latest client, who has me running round-the-clock surveillance on her untrustworthy husband. Suspicious behaviour seems to be contagious, and I'm noticing it everywhere, especially when it strikes close to home. When broken hearts lead to dead bodies, it looks like I'll be swapping a romantic evening for a killer case... When Rachel Beattie isn't writing stories, she's usually reading them - especially of the cozy mystery variety. A lifelong devotee of Agatha Christie, she loves putting ze little grey cells to work and is especially fond of anything that can make her laugh while she's collecting a clue or two.

Welcome to Westhaven - or welcome back, in my case. Hurrying home to be at my dad's bedside wasn't exactly how I planned my small-town homecoming, especially when my shoot-for-the-stars successful life is hanging by a thread. But there's something comforting about being back in my hometown, even if it does mean crossing paths with my high school frenemies more than I'd like. When my favorite former teacher dares me to enter the winter pie festival I need all the help I can get - and when the festival day ends in a murder, I find myself much more invested in catching a killer than I expected to be... Book 1 in a fun new small-town cozy mystery series ~ Enjoy your first visit to the Slice of Life Diner!
