Murder at Mile Marker 18: A Mallory Beck Cozy Culinary Caper (Book 1) - Paperback

by Denise Jaden (Author)

A heartbroken widow. A suspicious accident. And a cat who always trusts his instincts.

Mallory Beck never thought delivering a casserole could get her tangled up in murder. But when a routine act of kindness leads her straight into the heart of the Montrose family's secrets, Mallory finds herself in the middle of a mystery with more layers than her lasagna.

Still reeling from her husband's sudden passing, Mallory is just starting to rebuild-one home-cooked meal at a time. But when a teenage girl loses her father in a supposed hit-and-run, Mallory can't shake the feeling that something's not right. Especially after Hunch, her prickly but perceptive cat, takes an unusual interest in the grieving household-and in the widow who seems just a little too composed.

As whispers turn into clues and casseroles into conversations, Mallory-with Hunch never far from her side-begins to unravel a tangled web of lies, family resentments, and long-buried secrets.

If you love feel-good whodunits, intuitive pets, and heroines finding strength in second chances, you'll feel right at home in Honeysuckle Grove.

Start reading today-because even cats know when something smells fishy.
