Deadly Reception: A Sea Isle Cove Mystery

by Suzanne Kass

When Sophie Kellerton returns to her hometown of Sea Isle Cove to escape a corporate scandal, the last thing she expects is to land in the middle of a mystery. Between contemplating a crumbling beachfront bakery, wrangling her mischievous Shih Tzu-Papillon pup, and navigating the quirks of small-town gossip, Sophie stumbles into secrets the Cove has long tried to bury. A missing young woman, a body, and a tangle of suspicious locals turn her seaside fresh start into anything but peaceful. With loyal friends Marnie and Janelle at her side, Sophie must sift through lies, loyalties, and lethal motives—before her sweet new life turns dangerously sour.
