It’s beginning to look a lot like murder in Agatha-awarding winning author Maddie Day’s latest Cozy Capers Book Group Mystery, as Cape Cod bike shop owner Mackenzie “Mac” Almeida and her book club sleuths must solve a murder before Mac and her fiancĂ©e’s New Years Eve wedding...

Murder in a Cape Cottage COVER

Synopsis:

Tis the day after Christmas, following a wicked-busy time of year for Mac’s bike shop. It’s just as well her Cozy Capers Book Group’s new pick is a nerve-soothing coloring book mystery, especially when she has last-minute wedding planning to do. But all pre-wedding jitters fade into the background when Mac and her fiancĂ©, Tim, begin a cottage renovation project and open up a wall to find a skeleton—sitting on a stool, dressed in an old-fashioned bridal gown . . .
 
As Mac delves into the decades-old mystery with the help of librarian Flo and her book group, she discovers a story of star-crossed lovers and feuding families worthy of the bard himself. Yet this tale has a modern-day villain still lurking in Mac’s quaint seaside town, ready to make this a murderous New Year’s Eve . . .

Review:

This is book 4 of the series, and it's finally wedding time! But Mac's life isn't without hiccups along the way and a skeleton in the wall of her new bathroom to be, isn't what a bride wants as a wedding present! The book allows more of the town characters to come out, and for those who are already reading the series, it's fun to see the town expand and see everyone working with Mac to make her wedding special. Part cozy, a bit chick lit and a bit historical mystery, this is a fun addition to the series, and it's fine reading as a stand-alone book as well,
