Sugar, Spice and Tangled Kites: The Good Chef Mysteries

By Elsie Grey

Perfect for readers who love cozy culinary mysteries, charming coastal towns, found family, delicious recipes, and twisty small-town secrets.

When Pine Grove's beloved kite festival fills the coastal sky with color, Lily Good is looking forward to a weekend of sea breezes, sweet treats, and small-town celebration.

The festival brings visitors from all over Oregon, along with handmade kites, local vendors, and the grand opening buzz surrounding a charming new kite shop beside The Good Chef restaurant. But when the festival coordinator is found murdered inside her tent in broad daylight, Pine Grove's picture-perfect weekend takes a dangerous turn.

As rumors swirl faster than the ocean wind, Lily finds herself pulled into a mystery tangled with old rivalries, buried resentments, and secrets someone is desperate to keep hidden.

Between keeping the restaurant running, calming worried townsfolk, and trying to stop Violet from chasing clues of her own, Lily must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

Because in Pine Grove, even the prettiest things can hide tangled strings.
