Raspberry Creme Murder

By Carol Durand and Summer Prescott

A Book Club, Buried Secrets, and a Killer Who Won't Stay Quiet.
Ever feel out of balance?
Melissa "Missy" Gladstone has spent years juggling thriving cupcake shops, murder investigations, and a relationship with handsome Detective Chas Beckett. Determined to slow down and enjoy life a little more, she decides it's finally time to focus on herself.
Unfortunately, relaxation can be... murder.
Hoping to create a better work-life balance, Missy joins the ladies of LaChance's popular Burgundies and Books book club. What starts as a pleasant escape quickly becomes anything but when she discovers that beneath the club's friendly gatherings lurk rivalries, grudges, and enough drama to fill a bestseller.
Then one of the club's influential leaders is found murdered.
When suspicion immediately falls on Samantha, the group's newest member, she turns to Missy and Chas for help. Convinced there's more to the story than meets the eye, Missy begins investigating the tight-knit club's tangled relationships and hidden agendas.
The deeper she digs, the more shocking secrets she uncovers. Long-buried resentments, dangerous betrayals, and carefully guarded lies reveal that nearly everyone in the club had a reason to want the victim gone. As tensions rise and the suspect list grows, Missy realizes the killer may be closer than anyone suspects.
With another murder potentially on the horizon, Missy and Chas must race against time to uncover the truth before the next chapter ends in tragedy.
Can Missy clear Samantha's name and expose the real killer? Or will this deadly book club mystery prove that some stories are better left unread?
Filled with Southern charm, unforgettable characters, delicious desserts, and twist-filled suspense, this cozy mystery delivers the perfect blend of friendship, secrets, and murder.
Perfect for fans of book club mysteries, culinary cozy mysteries, cupcake shop mysteries, amateur women sleuths, Southern cozy mysteries, small-town murder mysteries, clean whodunits, foodie fiction, and cozy mystery series with strong female friendships.
