Murder in a Cape Cottage

It’s beginning to look a lot like murder in Agatha-awarding winning author Maddie Day’s latest Cozy Capers Book Group Mystery, as Cape Cod bike shop owner Mackenzie “Mac” Almeida and her book club sleuths must solve a murder before Mac and her fiancée’s New Years Eve wedding...

'Tis the day after Christmas, following a wicked-busy time of year for Mac’s bike shop. It’s just as well her Cozy Capers Book Group’s new pick is a nerve-soothing coloring book mystery, especially when she has last-minute wedding planning to do. But all pre-wedding jitters fade into the background when Mac and her fiancé, Tim, begin a cottage renovation project and open up a wall to find a skeleton—sitting on a stool, dressed in an old-fashioned bridal gown . . .
 
As Mac delves into the decades-old mystery with the help of librarian Flo and her book group, she discovers a story of star-crossed lovers and feuding families worthy of the bard himself. Yet this tale has a modern-day villain still lurking in Mac’s quaint seaside town, ready to make this a murderous New Year’s Eve . . .

Praise for Murder in a Cape Cottage

Praise for the Cozy Capers Book Group Mysteries by Maddie Day


“Mixes up a satisfying recipe of good-hearted characters, brain-teasing mysteries and evocative writing. As readers work to put the clues together, they'll enjoy all the details that makes a good cozy mystery so cozy: a community of close-knit neighbors, thriving small businesses, love interests who can make a mean lobster quiche and an easygoing pace of life—except, that is, for the occasional murder.“ —BookPage on Murder at the Lobstah Shack
 
“Compassionate culinary cozy that highlights the responsibilities of citizenship as well as the necessity of charitable efforts in caring for everyone who needs it. The mystery twists and turns, with some delightful shoutouts to other contemporary mystery novels.” —Criminal Element on Murder at the Lobstah Shack

“A bike shop owner and her book club pals keep solving mysteries in ways that somehow don't endear them to the police.” Kirkus Reviews on Murder at the Taffy Shop
 
“The small town of Westham is such a charming place, and Mac and her family and friends are such delightful people to be around!” Criminal Element on Murder at the Taffy Shop
 
“Quirky!” Woman’s World (Book Club Pick) on Murder at the Taffy Shop
 
“A treat for genre fans.” Parkersburg News & Sentinel on Murder at the Taffy Shop

“A family tie always makes the search for a killer more meaningful, and Day uses her brisk, well-honed storytelling chops to illuminate Mac’s unusual but loving family…Like Carolyn Hart before her, Day is doing a great service to the community of mystery writers who write the cozies that really power much of the mystery genre, and she reaches through her pages to readers to gently recommend other authors, just as Carolyn Hart did with her Death on Demand series.” Mystery Scene on Murder on Cape Cod
