Raspberry Lemonade and Ruin (Peridale Cafe Cozy Mystery Book 23)
By Agatha Frost
Shot at the garden party…
Though Julia South-Brown knows the imminent sale of Wellington Manor means everything to her father Brian and his wife Katie, the process hasn’t been all sunshine and roses for the village of Peridale. James Jacobson, the cutthroat property developer interested in the manor, also wants something else . . . to turn Peridale’s library into a hot new restaurant.
As clouds both literal and figurative gather on Peridale’s horizon, Julia’s caught in the middle. Is it possible to successfully play both sides? Can she save Peridale’s beloved library while also helping Brian and Katie secure the sale of the property that’s been weighing them down and draining them dry for years? The task might be daunting, but a little impossibility has never scared her off before.
Of course, there’s also the small matter of a garden party and a gun . . .
A FUN British village cosy/cozy mystery packed with HEART, HUMOUR, FAMILY DRAMA, and plenty of TWISTS and TURNS! The 23rd book in the BESTSELLING Peridale Cafe Cozy Mystery Series. Standalone but will be enjoyed more as part of the series. A cat loving and cafe-owning amateur female sleuth set in a small village setting with quirky characters. No cliffhanger, swearing, gore or graphic scenes.
