Synopsis

Lucy McGuffin has three problems:

She's a human lie detector, a "gift" she tries hard to keep hidden.

Her rescue dog Paco is a ghost-whisperer.

And someone's just been found murdered in her kitchen.

The murder weapon? One of Lucy's famous apple walnut cream cheese muffins. The victim? Tara Bell, the producer for a reality TV cooking competition that Lucy is determined to win. Lucy and Tara had a very public disagreement the day before the murder. When it's discovered that Lucy's cafe was about to be disqualified from the show, all fingers point to Lucy as the prime suspect.

Travis Fontaine might be Whispering Bay's newest heartthrob, but the know-it-all cop and Lucy have butted heads in the past. He doesn't believe she's guilty and he'll prove it. Himself. Without any of Lucy's special help, thanks.

But Lucy isn't about to sit back and let her goose get cooked. With her best friend Will and her dog Paco by her side, she sets out to solve the crime. Before someone gets away with murder.

Let the clues guide you in this inventive mystery. Abby Jones loves running her bookshop in Cranberry Creek; at least until her best friend Rose is accused of murdering a food critic. It's up to Abby, and us the reader, to solve the mystery before Rose finds herself behind bars. I've never encountere......more

Murder by Muffin by Rosie A. Point and puzzles by Charles Timmerman This book was so good I read it in one sitting. I really like the way the author had only a few characters to remember and were all related to the story. Abby who is the local bookstore owner/ amateur detective is on the case when he......more

Goodreads review by Brisa on November 14, 2025

I enjoyed the book but it didnt translate well to Kindle so I had to read it through the NetGalley reader. It was a cozy short story and I liked the plot, I just wish it was longer. I think if i had the physical book I would've enjoyed actually doing the word searches though and I love this idea. Th......more
