A Parfait Murder: A Romantic Cozy Mystery

By Wendy Lyn Watson

It's all fun and games until someone loses their life.

The Lantana County Fair has come to town, and Tally Jones has scored a plum spot as a judge on one of the tasting panels. With her business warming up and her love life positively molten, Tally's life feels like three scoops in a two-scoop cone. But when her cousin Bree spots her no-good ex strutting across the fairgrounds like he owns the place, with a wad of cash in his pocket and a fancy woman on his arm, the situation gets sticky.

After a livid Bree files for over a decade of back child support, her ex's attorney ends up dead ... with Bree standing over the body with a gun. It is up to Tally to clear her cousin's name or watch everyone's happiness melt away.

PRAISE FOR THE MYSTERIES A LA MODE

"Wendy Lyn Watson? She writes damn good prose. Her descriptions are vibrant, but not in the least bit florid. Her dialogue sparkles. And the images she paints are so vivid, they practically spring to mind fully formed."
Criminal Element

"This lighthearted peek into small-town secrets and rumors carries enough good humor, emotional honesty, plot twists, and recipes to entertain and satisfy."
Publishers Weekly

"A delightful amateur sleuth that is not only exciting but also never melts down."
Midwest Book Review

"A PARFAIT MURDER is the cozy mystery at its best-complex characters, family drama, a hint of romance, and a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end."
