Writes:
I write cozy mysteries featuring strong female sleuths with big hearts and lots of curiosity. THROUGH THE LIQUOR GLASS is the fifth book in the Literary Pub Mystery series, which features pub owner and book lover Sadie Coleman. In this book, Sadie is taking part in a local food and drink festival while preparing for her mother’s first visit to Shady Creek, Vermont. When a food writer turns up dead at the craft brewery owned by Sadie’s boyfriend, Grayson, a chill settles over Sadie’s life, one that has nothing to do with the fall weather. When Grayson becomes the prime suspect because of his past ties to the murder victim, Sadie sets out to ensure that Grayson won’t be wearing an orange jumpsuit when her mother meets him for the first time.
About:
Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, I now live in a small town. I’ve been devouring mysteries from a young age, starting with Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and Agatha Christie. I got hooked on modern cozy mysteries after picking one up at my local library and soon started writing my own. When not reading or writing, I’m often spending time with my two cats and my English springer spaniel.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Craves culinary cozies
- Enjoys books with recipes
- Appreciates puns, especially literary puns
- Loves the idea of a cozy literary pub that hosts book clubs
What to expect if we’re compatible:
- Mysteries with a dash of romance
- Cozy, picturesque settings
- Small-town festivals and events
- Seasonally themed stories
- Literary references and puns
- Characters with cats and/or dogs
- A cast of colorful secondary characters
Literary Pub Mystery Series #5
In the latest in the popular series from Sarah Fox, author of the USA Today bestselling Pancake House Mystery Series, a food festival brings new customers to Sadie Coleman’s literary-themed pub in a quaint Vermont town—but it also brings murder to her door. With a book and culinary theme and a charming small-town setting, the Literary Pub Mystery series will appeal to fans of cozy mysteries by such authors as Jenn McKinlay and Eva Gates
In the picturesque New England town of Shady Creek, Vermont, fall is in full swing, and Sadie Coleman, owner of the literary-themed Inkwell pub, is serving up delicious food and drinks—with a side of sleuthing . . .
Autumn brings a wonderland of color and atmosphere to Vermont. As the last leaves fall from the trees, the town is gearing up for a new festival: A Taste of Shady Creek. Pub proprietor Sadie Coleman is looking forward to visitors coming to sample her literary-themed cocktails. She’s a little more wary about her mother’s impending first visit. What if her mom doesn’t like Sadie’s adopted town—or her new boyfriend, Grayson Blake?
Those concerns are overshadowed when a food critic is found dead at Grayson’s craft brewery, pinned under a barrel. Curiouser and curiouser—the victim is linked to Grayson’s past as a private investigator, and all the evidence points to him as the killer. While Grayson lays low, Sadie starts some investigating of her own, diving down a rabbit hole of suspects. Was it a bad review that made the killer mad as a hatter? Or are there other motives at play?
In between serving Kiss of the Cider Woman cocktails and book-minded bites to festival goers, Sadie is striving to clear Grayson’s name. But it’ll take more than a dash of ingenuity to prevent the festival from fizzing out completely—and stop a killer from downing another innocent life . . .
