A Dead Heat (The EB Eats Diner Mysteries Book 5)
By Poppy Bridgeman
Nueva Vida’s first mayoral election since a corruption scandal should have been a fresh start. Instead, it becomes a recipe for murder.
When candidate Miranda Volkov collapses at a town hall meeting after eating poisoned campaign cookies, diner owner Eliza Burton knows this was no accident. The killer chose their method carefully—ensuring only Miranda would die despite everyone having access to the same refreshments.
With the election in chaos and the community’s trust shattered again, Eliza and her amateur sleuths discover Nueva Vida’s picture-perfect candidates are hiding deadly secrets. Someone was desperate enough to kill to keep the truth buried.
But they didn’t count on a determined diner owner with a talent for detecting lies… and a recipe for justice.
In small-town politics, democracy can be murder.
A deliciously twisted small town culinary cozy mystery.
