Killed in Cold Ink: A Winter Postcard Parade Cozy Mystery

About Killed in Cold Ink: A Winter Postcard Parade Cozy Mystery

Rowan Page expected the Winter Postcard Parade to be harmless. Hot cocoa. Carolers.

A packed shop. A perfect night to sell her limited-edition prints and prove The Proof & Press can survive Juniper Glen’s gossip. Then the parade’s celebrity sponsor sips a “special” peppermint latte at Rowan’s counter and drops dead in front of a cheering crowd.

The town wants a culprit. The police want a clean case. And the internet wants a villain.

Unfortunately, Rowan’s best friend Mina made the drink. Now Rowan has to clear Mina before the cuffs click and her business gets boycotted into the ground. But the dead man wasn’t just a sponsor.

He was asking sharp questions about the parade’s money, the charity totals, and who really profits from “community spirit.”As Rowan digs, the suspect list turns ugly fast: a festival board that guards its books, a resentful trainee barista with something to hide, and influencer Harper Vane, selling wholesome vibes while steering the mob with a smile. The deeper Rowan goes, the clearer it becomes.

The poison wasn’t the point. The sabotage was. And it was designed to frame Mina, silence the sponsor, and keep Juniper Glen’s holiday machine running no matter who it destroys.
