No One to Truffle With: A gripping cozy crime murder mystery
Some secrets are better left buried. Others come wrapped in chocolate.
Noelle Knight is finally finding her rhythm in Mermaid Bay. Her wine shop, The Grape Escape, is back in business, and she’s wondering if her handsome housemate Finn might be more than just the boy next door.
But when a VIP chocolatier arrives for her “Sweet & Sips” event—and winds up dead — Noelle’s carefully planned weekend turns into a crime scene. Detective Mendez is back, trying to pin the murder on Noelle. But Noelle's guest list is full of suspects. And her family’s secrets are bubbling back up, one vintage bottle at a time.
With the help of her beloved, judgmental cat, her handsome roomie, and a town full of colorful characters, Noelle must follow the clues before the killer strikes again. Because in Mermaid Bay, the past doesn’t stay buried—and neither do the bodies.
Grab your copy of Book 2 in the Mermaid Bay Wine Mystery—where the chocolate is rich, the wine flows freely, and murder is always just a corkscrew away.

About the author
Lynn Joseph
57 books102 followersLynn Joseph's adventure travel, island hopping, and lifelong wandering have a purpose. And it's not just to find the best crepes, gelato, and champagne! She swears! Lynn writes about the places she falls in love with. She's discovered in her travels that everyone is looking for a romance and a happy ending! Especially romance authors! Her USA home base is the charming Ferry Village in South Portland, Maine, and her international home base is the Caribbean Island of Tobago, where she’s known as the Mermaid Queen. Lynn believes in protagonists of color traveling and changing the world. And falling in love, of course! She almost always finds a way to work in crepes, gelato, or champagne as part of the story (to support the research!) If you're ready for some sweet romance, join Lynn on her journey of love, food, and romantic destinations (not necessarily in that order).
