Young Adult | Mystery Cozy

Murder is on the menu for gourmet popcorn entrepreneur Rebecca Anderson, and it’s up to her to pop the case wide open.

Rebecca Anderson is surprised to discover an old diary in the wall of her popcorn shop. With the shop’s kitchen under repair and production of her gourmet treats on temporary hold, Rebecca hopes that reading the diary will be a welcome distraction. She doesn’t expect that the diary will end in a mystery when the writer seemingly disappears under concerning circumstances.

Unfortunately for Rebecca, that is not the only mystery she is involved in. When local busybody Lloyd McLaughlin is found dead, the police believed he was poisoned by Rebecca’s popcorn. There’s only one batch of popcorn Rebecca has made recentlyβ€”and it wasn’t intended for Lloyd. Nothing about Lloyd’s death makes senseβ€”until Rebecca discovers a startling connection between the diary writer and the murdered man.

Now, with her reputation on the line, Rebecca must discover who’s been cooking up murderβ€”both in the past and in the present.
