Death at the Diner

A Seaside Small-Town Cozy Murder Mystery

By: Wren Ashwood

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Murder’s on the menu in Willowford—where the coffee’s hot, the gossip’s hotter, and revenge is served with a smile.

Between burnt toast, gossip refills, and a trainee who can’t tell salt from sugar, waitress Maggie Dawson figured her hardest job was keeping the coffee hot—until her aunt pressed a cool moonstone pendant into her hand and warned, “Keep it close. It knows more than you think.”

When the town’s most disliked businessman drops dead after Pie Night, the police call it sugar shock. The pendant disagrees—and so does the golden-eyed tabby who’s suddenly claimed Maggie as his own. Now she’s knee-deep in secrets, chasing clues as sharp as her wit and twice as dangerous.

Between flustered pie nights and midnight stakeouts, Maggie’s learning the hard way that small towns hide big secrets—a jealous baker, a cornered mechanic, and a moonstone secret in silver she’s only beginning to understand.

Fueled by caffeine, sarcasm, and one psychic cat, Maggie’s about to learn that in Willowford, curiosity can kill more than cats—and secrets never stay buried for long.
