Murder at Buttermilk Café: Windmere Cove Cozy Mystery Book 1

A warm, funny coastal cozy mystery where comfort food, second chances, and one very clever golden retriever collide.

After a very public fall from grace, food critic Izzy Harper traded her pen for an apron. The whole mess? She filed it under Things Butter Can Fix. A year later, Buttermilk Café is her sanctuary, and Windmere Cove finally feels like home.

Then Spencer Reed, the critic who helped wreck her career, drops dead at table three. Her food is on his fork. Her name is on everyone’s lips. She’s the obvious suspect.

Clearing her name means asking questions the town’s most powerful people would rather leave buried. Luckily, Izzy has a secret weapon: Noodle, whose nose never takes a day off. One sharp palate, one sharper nose. Together, they’ll find the truth before someone buries it for good.

Perfect for readers who love clever amateur sleuths, seaside small towns, lovable dog sidekicks, and mysteries served with humor and heart.
