Monday: Cozy Mystery
Sugar Skulls and Suspects (Sunnyside Magical Bakery Cozy Mysteries Book 1)
Sunnyside is a town filled with witches and other paranormal beings. Sure, normal folk come through, but most of the residents are dyed in the wool supernatural.
Maxine Aspen owns the Sugar Skulls Bakery right downtown Sunnyside, in the heart of the madness. She and her family have been running it (sort of) successfully for two generations, but times are getting tough and Max finds herself thinking outside the box to keep the doors open.
Just in time for Halloween, she starts creating Day of the Dead cookies, which are nothing fancy. Just a little fun and spice and all things (magically) nice.
But when her customers start falling down dead, Max has to scramble to figure out just what exactly is going on because she's the prime suspect.
And since she's not really great at magic, even Max isn't sure if she's to blame.
