About The Book

Hazelnuts and Homicide — A Holiday Cozy Mystery

When a food and fiction dinner ends in disaster, bookstore owner Bonne Année finds herself in a recipe for murder.

In the quirky coastal town of Hazelton, Oregon, Annee’s literary supper clubs combine novels, recipes, and community spirit until one tragic evening turns her latest event into a crime scene. Determined to clear her name, she dives into a tangled web of tampered ingredients, small-town secrets, and holiday rivalries that could ruin more than her business.

With her loyal Bernedoodle, Oscar, and a cast of warmhearted friends, Annee must solve the mystery before Hazelton’s first Christmas market—and her reputation—are completely cooked.

Hazelnuts and Homicide is a heartwarming holiday cozy mystery filled with culinary intrigue, friendship, and small-town charm—perfect for fans of culinary cozies, amateur sleuths, and bookshop mysteries with recipes.

Murder’s on the menu at Hazelton’s coziest bookshop.
