A Josie Jaxon Cozy Culinary Mystery
When traveling food blogger Samantha "Sam" Carter rolls into the charming fall-kissed town of Running Water, Illinois, she expects flaky pastries, signature chicken and waffles, and a lineup of small-town cafés to feature on her blog. She does not expect her favorite diner to become the center of a deadly scandal.
After a beloved community figure collapses during breakfast at Benny's Place, whispers sweep through Running Water. Was it a tragic accident, or something much more intentional? Benny insists he made no mistake in the kitchen, and Sam believes him. But the deeper she digs, the stranger things become.
With her loyal mini Aussiedoodle Pancake by her side, Sam follows the trail of savory clues, sweet secrets, and a very suspicious series of events that the locals would prefer she ignore. Between comforting cups of spiced apple coffee, irresistible autumn treats, and unexpected allies, Sam finds herself unraveling a mystery that threatens to overturn everything she thought she knew about this cozy town.
As tensions rise and hidden motives simmer, Sam must decide who she can trust in a community built on warm smiles, perfect recipes, and carefully guarded truths.
