"Lots of twists and turns in this fun cozy mystery."

Don't miss this must-read cozy mystery series for 2026! Welcome to a world where goodness prevails, characters become cherished friends, and quaint coastal towns beckon you back with each new mystery… despite all the bodies that keep popping up. Connie Petretta wonders if it’s time for a change. After eleven years at a Boston nonprofit, the dedicated humanitarian worker struggles to find her way as she deals with the bequest of her beloved aunt’s Florida beachside condo. But selling it goes sideways when somebody plummets from an adjacent balcony seven stories to his death. Sleuthing on the side to absolve her friend next door of the crime, Connie finds herself enchanted by the charming gulf-front town. But with the accused’s baffling behavior throwing a wrench into the investigation, the only legacy she might be leaving in the seaside resort is an innocent woman’s conviction for Murder One. Can Connie clear her neighbor’s name and bring a killer to justice? Here’s what readers are saying: “A fun, engaging murder mystery.” “This mystery was delightful!
