Blueberry Jam-Boree

A Small Town Culinary Cozy Mystery

By: Justine Jacobs

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Sam Stellar is back behind the counter of her catering van — and, unfortunately, back at another crime scene. When the head judge of Carlton Cove's beloved Blueberry Jam-boree is found dead in the supply tent, Sam finds herself stirring up trouble alongside her impeccably groomed poodle, Dill, her butterfingers assistant Frankie, and her ever-patient best friend Benny. With Detective Cordero once again telling her to stay out of it (and Sam once again not listening), the race is on to find a killer hiding among the mason jars.

But this mystery has layers. Behind the ribbons and the blueberry preserves, Sam uncovers a web of corruption that turns a beloved small-town competition inside out. A mysterious contestant nobody has ever met. A judge with secrets in his bank account. And a whole town full of people who had reasons to want the judging to stop — permanently. As Sam peels back the truth, she discovers that the deepest grudges aren't always the loudest ones.

Packed with the snappy banter, warm friendships, and small-town charm that fans of the series love, The Blueberry Jam-boree is a deliciously twisty fifth installment that proves Carlton Cove's festivals are never boring — and Sam's cinnamon rolls are still worth the trip.
