S'more Event

For Hillary Sheridan and her daughter Annabelle, the picturesque town of Rosemary Harbor seemed like the perfect place to start fresh. Between running their gift basket shop and keeping Hillary’s late husband’s parrot, Spot, out of mischief, life is finally sweet—until Spot is accused of stealing nuts from the local chocolate shop.

When a young au pair mysteriously collapses after sampling one of the shop’s confections, the idyllic small town is rocked by scandal. The evidence points to poisoned treats—and Hillary’s friend Naomi, the shop’s owner, lands in the hot seat. Determined to save Naomi’s reputation and Spot’s feathers, Hillary dives headfirst into the investigation, uncovering sticky secrets, broken alibis, and one suspicious rival who just might have more to gain from Naomi’s downfall than anyone guessed.

But when Spot squawks about a “dead body” and a dangerous new clue emerges, Hillary realizes the killer isn’t done yet.

Can she crack the case before her peaceful new life melts away—or will her sleuthing put her in the crosshairs?

A witty, fast-paced cozy mystery perfect for curling up with on a quiet afternoon.
