Country Cottage Mysteries #25
A Ruthless Ruff Patch
An innkeeper who reads minds. An ornery detective. And a trail of bodies. Cider Cove is the premier destination for murder.— Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison's books, "...easy, frothy fun!"
A laugh out loud cozy mystery by New York Times Bestseller Addison Moore and her partner in cozy crime, USA TODAY Bestseller Bellamy Bloom.
***Includes RECIPE
My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds—not every mind, not every time but most of the time and believe me when I say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Cider Cove, Maine, is sweltering in the heat of a long, hot, summer as the inn plays host to a local TV show, Cider Cove Home and Heart. While a trio of domestic divas do their best to regale their viewers with a clam bake, someone in the crowd is about to regale them with murder. A cute golden retriever puppy is soon left without its owner and I not only has a new home to find for the sweet pup, I have a killer to catch.
Emmie has a secret that will be brought to light, and Macy’s dirty thirty birthday bash is at hand.
Things are heating up in Cider Cove this summer—and with a homicide front and center, the clam bake isn’t the only thing about to boil over.
Bizzy Baker runs the Country Cottage Inn, has the ability to pry into the darkest recesses of both the human and animal mind, and has just stumbled upon a body. With the help of her kitten, Fish, a mutt named Sherlock Bones and an ornery yet dangerously good looking homicide detective, Bizzy is determined to find the killer.
The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. Leaving can be murder.
Cider Cove, Maine is the premier destination for fun and relaxation. But when a body turns up, it’s the premier destination for murder.

Bizzy Baker Wilder is the owner and manager of the Country Cottage Inn located in Cider Cove, Maine. It's going to be a busy night with a huge event as a local TV show that caters to the "Home and Heart" is filming on site and the three hosts are making a clam bake to feed a huge crowd. Unfortunately, someone dies - is it natural or is it a murder? Bizzy is determined to find out. Along with her "normal" crazy group of "helpful sleuth" friends, Bizzy has to sift through the show's hosts and others that work for the production company who are all possible suspects. This is a tough case to crack. Lots of suspects and lots of motives. I think you'll love reading this book as much as I did!.

Another Murder to Solve . . .
Bizzy Baker Wilder, owner and manager of the Country Cottage Inn, is able to read minds, both human and animal. It doesn’t always happen, but it’s still a very convenient way to speed up an investigation. Right now, a local TV show is doing their filming nearby while everyone is waiting for the clam bake to begin.
Bizzy is, of course, the one who stumbles over the body of a host. The victim’s golden retriever puppy will be needing a home and Bizzy is ready to start her investigation. Gathering her “team”, her kitty Fish, her dog Sherlock Bones, and her human homicide detective Jasper, Bizzy is primed to look for the killer. Once again, there are plenty of suspects to filter through. Will they find the killer before someone else dies?

Bizzy is hosting another event, there are some familiar faces from their past. Bizzy is enjoying being there when the finds another body. She is determined to find out who did it as it directly affected someone close to her. She is also concerned over her best friend's behavior, as even Jasper is acting weird.
It was so much fun going back into the world of Bizzy and her friends. There is such a cast of characters. The animals are always so much fun with their funny personalities. I highly recommend reading this book and series, you will enjoy every moment.

Such a cute book!
Bizzy and team are solving another murder – one that happens at Country Cottage Inn. One of the hosts of a local home and heart show bites the big one, and her murder almost causes the death of Jasper too! Bizzy is determined to figure out who killed her leaving a cute little puppy without a home until ANOTHER murder happens. Bizzy, Jasper, and friends all have to work quickly to figure out who is the murdered before another person bites the big one.
A new dessert is introduced, and I’ll be honest, I am seriously going to try this recipe. It sounds delicious.
Love this series! Super cute!

Bizzy and her friends are looking forward to some warm weather and to the filming of a home and lifestyle show at the Inn - and of course they are waiting for the tasty clambake and the blueberry buckle dessert!
another sweet pup finds itself fostering with her brood
can Bizzy untangle the threats to the health of her family and the whodunnit?
humorous homicide with supernatural twists and lots of irony and sarcasm.

Bizzy is at it again
What is going on at the bay? It's murder again!
The inn is hosting a TV show, 3 domestic divas are entertaining special with the episode of the Clambake.
The last thing Bizzy needed was to find a dead body. Now she has to locate the killer and find a new home for puppy of the dead person.
Addison Moore is at it again.

Bizzy and the gang in Cinder Cove watching a local tv show being filmed. They are are having a warm spell in Cinder Cove. The shows host are bickering about how to set a table.
Bizzy unfortunately finds one the TV host dead and fosters the victims dog, until she can resolve the case. This is a laugh out loud book at times and has some twist and turns that are unexpected. Enjoy!!.

Love love love reading 📚 about Bizzy and her delightful family. The stories are so interesting and easy to feel as part of the group. This one was no different. From the first page to the end, it was no non stop laughs and action. Cannot wait for the next one. Addison Moore knocks it out of the park again with her writing ✍️ skills.

This was an action-packed storyline! You have Bizzy, the Inn Keeper Detective, Jasper, the actual detective, and then the usual gang of Cider Cove. When you throw together television divas, a best friend with a huge secret, a sister turning 30, a long awaited romance, and a murder...you get a Bizzy Baker adventure. Addison Moore brings you on the wild ride of Bizzy's everyday life. :D

I love a good smalltown romance with a side of mystery and the residents of Cider Cove always deliver. I love the quirky, fun, crazy characters of this series and all the shenanigans they get up to. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Well, as expected Bizzy solves another murder and finds another orphaned pet a home. Only this time it is a double murder Along the way the whole gang get up to the usual mayhem and high jinks. There is love in the air, with multiple family additions to grace the Inn.

Another great story!
Bizzy is a busy business owner with a wacky family. I love Bizzy and her pets but I am getting tired of her family giving her such a hard time. She needs to grow a backbone.

Great read as usual
So happy for Jordy! And Emmie. Who would have guessed. Maybe it's catching! I still don't care for that woman chasing Jasper. I hope she finds a guy soon or moves.

A fantastic addition to the series.
Murder, mayhem, and divas on the prowl. The characters are wonderful and quirky. The plot is twisty. The world building is great. I can't wait to read the next book!
