About this listen
📚World-famous author Cressida Vance is rich, rude, and really bad at finishing her series.
When she crashes into the cozy town of Mariposas to open a Very Serious Bookstore™, tensions rise quickly.But when she bails on a local book club Q&A and turns up dead, the real mystery begins... featuring:
- 💸 An old-money inheritance
- 🖋️a scandalous lie
- 🔍and a whole town full of suspects
Murder’s on the menu—and everyone’s reading between the lines. 🍰🔍
Perfect for fans of mysteries with bite, bookish chaos, and small-town snark.
Praise for A.R. Winters:
"The perfect balance of being lighthearted, but still a serious page-turning mystery." - Jaycie D, Amazon.com
"A fun cozy mystery with engaging and entertaining characters" - lq, Amazon.com
"For fans of Janet Evanovich, Rhys Bowen and Jana DeLeon, this is a funny, clean mystery." - Clara B, Amazon.com
This is a light-hearted story featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and family, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic gore or love scenes, or bad language and is a standalone novel.

What he finds is a coded trail, a warning not to go it alone, and a treasure someone else is already chasing. Joining forces with Magda Lane, antique expert and puzzle-savant, Jack follows Edna’s final mystery, one clue at a time: orchard roots, tampered compasses, invisible ink, and faces scratched from ...
