A Dish Best Served Dead
Myrtle Clover Cozy Mysteries | Book 29
Summer 2026
When the dish is to die for. Literally.
When Cora Croft—pillar of the community—drops dead at the neighborhood block party, Myrtle's casserole is exhibit A. Which sadly makes Myrtle a forensic point of interest instead of a detective.
It turns out Bradley's most celebrated civic institution spent decades collecting enemies as efficiently as she collected accolades. With her son Red quietly furious, neighbor Erma armed with photographs of gnome-related property damage, and half the town weighing in on her casserole with entirely too much sympathy and not nearly enough surprise, Myrtle has exactly the kind of puzzle she lives for. Now she just needs to convince everyone she's solving it—not responsible for it.
Pre-order available July 2026
