A Tart to Die For: A Small Town New Zealand Cozy Mystery (The Velvet Scone Mysteries Book 9)
By E. Hazard
A glamorous stranger. A poisoned tart. A small town full of secrets.
When elegant Selina Leclair sweeps into Willowby, New Zealand, she brings designer clothes, a European accent, and trouble. Trinkets begin disappearing from the local farmers’ market. Antique jewellery goes missing. Even café owner Tamsin Blythe’s own earring vanishes without explanation.
Some locals are dazzled. Others are deeply suspicious.
Then Selina is found dead after eating a fruit tart.
With a beloved baker under suspicion and Detective Sergeant Cal Morgan closing in on an arrest, Tamsin cannot ignore her instincts. Selina was not just a mysterious tourist. She had multiple names, hidden passports, and ties to an international art theft ring. Someone in Willowby knew exactly who she really was.
As Tamsin and her sharp witted best friend Iris follow a trail of blackmail, stolen heirlooms, and swapped desserts, they uncover a deadly secret that refuses to stay buried. When Tamsin sets a trap for the killer, she may have just put herself in danger.
In Willowby, gossip travels fast. So does murder.
