Muffin Murder
A dead body behind the bakery is never good for business.
But somebody in Brooke Ridge Falls wanted a tacky porcelain cat badly enough to kill for it, which just proves there's no accounting for taste.
Now Lexy, Nans, and the ladies are chasing clues through the town-wide yard sale weekend, where everyone’s hunting bargains, nobody’s telling the whole truth, and one two-dollar cat may be worth enough to turn neighbors into killers.
