About A Puzzle Wrapped In Poison: A Murderously Fun Cozy Caper

Murder, Mischief, and Mooney, A Shaggy Sheep dog – A Cozy Mystery with a Canine Twist! Daphne Cole just wanted a fresh start. Trading in lesson plans for lattes, she’s heading home to Tansy Ridge, Vermont, to open her dream bookshop café.

But a pit stop in Claybrook to visit her best friend, Linda, takes a deadly turn when Linda’s husband, Hal—a corrupt town official with more enemies than ethics—drops dead at a garden party. Authorities call it an accident. The town’s gossip guild calls it murder.

And when whispers turn into pointed fingers at Daphne and Linda, clearing their names becomes priority number one. With Linda and Mooney, a mischief-making sheepdog, with a nose for trouble by her side, Daphne unearths a tangled web of Claybrook’s secrets. There’s Richard, a bitter businessman on the brink of ruin; Margaret, an activist who wanted Hal’s shady land deals buried; and Paul, a political rival who had everything to gain from Hal’s demise.

But the deeper she digs, the deadlier the game becomes. Secret meetings, whispered threats, and the shocking discovery that Hal was poisoned, suggest one thing: someone is tying up loose ends. And if Daphne isn’t careful, she might just be next…⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem of a short story!
