Maplewood Murder Mysteries: Murder On The Menu

By Amanda Wiese

On the morning of her caf 's grand reopening, widow Clara Bennett plates her grandmother's peach cobbler, whispers a prayer... and watches a notorious food critic face-plant into it, dead. In one gasp, the Maplewood Caf becomes a crime scene, and Clara becomes Suspect #1.

Small-town eyes sharpen. Rumors rise like steam. Enter Deputy Jake Miller-the boy-next-door with a crooked tie and inconveniently kind eyes-and the Maplewood Mavens, three opinionated church-lady sleuths who never met a boundary they didn't cross. With Mocha the cat supervising (judgmentally), Clara has two choices: let the sheriff close her doors for good, or follow a breadcrumb trail of bank ledgers, whispered grudges, and long-buried town secrets to clear her name.

Warm as cinnamon and sharp as a paring knife, Murder on the Menu blends comfort-food vibes with high-stakes twists, a slow-bloom second chance at love, and a faith-steadied heroine who refuses to fold. If you crave cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and just enough danger to keep you turning pages past midnight, pull up a chair-your table is ready.
