Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries where the crimes are clever rather than brutal, with small-town charm and quirky characters you'd actually want to know.
You like your sleuths to be ordinary people (not professional detectives) who stumble into solving puzzles because they care about their community.
You appreciate a setting as much as a plot. a town where the street names are spice-themed and the citizens have real history together fascinates you.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer dark, gritty crime procedurals with high stakes and morally grey characters.
You want romantic subplots to be central to the story rather than background seasoning.
You find small-town settings claustrophobic or the amateur-sleuth angle frustrating.

About this book

Welcome to Spicetown is the first book in the Spicetown Mystery series. When a crime-stopping senior citizen begins behaving strangely, a new business starts selling counterfeit products, and the New Year's Eve fireworks display goes missing, Mayor Cora Mae Bingham and Police Chief Conrad Harris must investigate. Cora watches over her small town located in the southern hills of Ohio. Spicetown features culinary-themed street names, shops specializing in spices, and long-time residents. However, visitors from outside the area can introduce troublesome elements to the community.
