📚World-famous author Cressida Vance is rich, rude, and really bad at finishing her series.

But when she bails on a local book club Q&A and turns up dead, the real mystery begins... featuring:

• 💸 An old-money inheritance
• 🖋️a scandalous lie
• 🔍and a whole town full of suspects

Murder’s on the menu—and everyone’s reading between the lines. 🍰🔍
Perfect for fans of mysteries with bite, bookish chaos, and small-town snark.

Praise for A.R. Winters:

"The perfect balance of being lighthearted, but still a serious page-turning mystery." - Jaycie D, Amazon.com

"A fun cozy mystery with engaging and entertaining characters" - lq, Amazon.com

"For fans of Janet Evanovich, Rhys Bowen and Jana DeLeon, this is a funny, clean mystery." - Clara B, Amazon.com

This is a light-hearted story featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and family, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic gore or love scenes, or bad language and is a standalone novel.

Narration fails to deliver

The robotic narration made it difficult to enjoy this book. The lack of expression and stale cadence made it difficult to stay attuned to the story. It failed to deliver the humor, frustration, shock, thrill, any level of emotion that the words intended. The AI generated narration ruined what could have otherwise been an interesting and entertaining listen.
