Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosiness with genuine stakes, where a small-town amateur sleuth uses actual observational skills rather than luck to crack the case.
You love mysteries with a strong sense of place and community, where the setting feels as alive and detailed as the characters.
You appreciate series that let you return to beloved characters and a world you actually want to live in.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer hard-boiled detective fiction or gritty procedurals with experienced law enforcement as protagonists.
You want mysteries that move at breakneck pace with minimal character development or relationship building.
You're uncomfortable with the cosy mystery format or find talking animals in serious plots distracting rather than charming.

About this book

Sage Holloway's morning takes a dark turn when she discovers a corpse. When Crescent Harbor's most hated developer is found dead, police suspect Sage's employee—a single mother who made a public threat against him. Sage, however, knows her employee and believes in her innocence. Armed with a baker's instincts, a suspicious coffee cup containing strange sediment, and Shadow, her perceptive cat, Sage begins investigating. Her questions attract the attention of powerful people who would prefer she stop asking them. In Crescent Harbor, where secrets run deep and some things were deliberately buried, Sage must find the killer before her own knowledge becomes dangerous. This is Book 1 of 5 in The Moonlight Murder Mystery Club series.
