We are rapidly approaching Cozy Mystery Day!

Dame Agatha Christie’s birthday is on September 15, so that was selected as the date to celebrate cozy mysteries! Time to catch up your reading on your favourite amateur sleuths. Jessica Fletcher stumbling across another body in Cabot Cove? Miss Marple peering out her window or listening in on the latest village gossip? A baker or knitter who just can’t be held responsible for the rash of murders in her small town?

Let’s take a look to see who is hitting the tops of the lists this year…

But first, a look at the first book in my culinary cozy mystery series, Gluten-Free Murder:

Gluten-Free Murder

Erin Price moves to Bald Eagle Falls, a place where everyone knows everyone as well as everyone else’s business, taking over the store left to her by her aunt to start up a gluten-free bakery. The grand opening is marred by just one thing, the death of her business rival, Angela Plaint. It appears that Angela was poisoned by one of Erin’s cupcakes, making her a prime suspect.

Equipped with cupcakes, her desire for the truth, and new bakery assistant Vicky’s help, Erin goes head-to-head against Detective Terry Piper to solve the murder. Rumors of treasure hunting, drug dealing, and a missing boy swirl around Bald Eagle Falls…
