Cape Bay Café Mystery Series, Boxed Set Books 4-6

By: Harper Lin

Narrated by: Marguerite Gavin

Lattes, Ladyfingers, and Lies: Fran is anticipating her trip to Italy with Matty, until a precious diamond ring is stolen from the town's jewelry store and an employee is murdered. Fran suspects the storeowner of insurance fraud, but what if she's wrong? Would her life be at stake again if she butts in on another police investigation?

Americanos, Apple Pies, and Art Thieves: It's almost Thanksgiving, and Fran is baking her family's apple pies for the cafe. While pie fever spreads through Cape Bay, a world-famous artist holds a special art show in the town's museum in honor of his late mother, who grew up there. Louis Cliffton's paintings are encrusted with valuable gems and gold. At the opening night, the centerpiece of the show is stolen. When Fran investigates the case, she receives threats, and someone follows her home and vandalizes her cafe.

Cremas, Christmas Cookies, and Crooks: When a despised new drama teacher at the high school is killed in the school's parking lot, police arrest a beloved teacher, Mrs. Crowsdale, but everyone else thinks she is too nice to murder anyone. Mike, however, says they have solid evidence that proves she did it. Sammy is particularly devastated and begs Fran to find the real culprit. Mike would be angry with her for butting in on another case. And what if more danger befalls her?

Amazing!

This aubidle edition is amazing. The storyline keeps you on your toes until the very end!

Love the series

I do not like Matt. He is a self involved jerk. Tired of his making fun if Fran when she doesn’t think like he does.

I love the Cape Bay Cozy mysteries

I like Fran, Sammie, Matt, Mike AND Mrs DeAngelo! Listening to the series makes me feel like I am there!
