Lilac and Cherry Tarts

Nettles B&B Paracozy

By: Chrissy Chicory

Narrated by: Tricia Murphy

A whimsical paranormal cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, a hint of the unexplained, and a touch of literary flair.

Nan Nettles has always seen the world through a dreamy, poetic lens, and her husband, Mossy, is more than happy to play the romantic bard to her wandering muse. But when their road trip to a charming Florida town takes an unexpected detour, they find themselves caught up in a legend whispered on the coastal breeze.

Strange lights flicker in the night, a shadowy presence stirs in the woods, and a chance encounter sets them on a path of curious clues, cozy intrigue, and unexpected adventure. As Nan follows the mystery with starry-eyed wonder and Mossy provides his own brand of poetic skepticism, they soon realize that not everything is as it seems in this sleepy little town.

With a mix of quirky sleuthing, supernatural shenanigans, and small-town whimsy, Lilac and Cherry Tarts is the perfect introduction to the Nettles B&B Paracozy Mystery Series. If you adore charming B&B settings, eccentric yet lovable characters, and a sprinkle of the unknown, this story is for you!

Perfect for fans of Juliet Blackwell, Heather Webber, and Ellery Adams!

Includes heartwarming moments, delightful banter, and a side of delicious cherry tarts.

Step inside, settle in with a warm cup of tea, and get ready for a cozy mystery with a little more than meets the eye…

Excellent audio performance!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook. It’s the first audiobook I’ve listened to performed by Trisha Murphy and I loved all of the different voices she used while narrating this story. This was a good introduction to Chrissy Chicory’s writing and her Nettles B&B Paracozy series. The story was engaging and charming; it held my attention from start to finish.

Adventure

I love the sweet older couple on a road trip. They are ready for a great adventure. They decide to check out some reported strange lights. They find two boys in need of rescuing and things really get strange. The boys are adorable. There are so many great mysterious elements to this story. A fun fantasy read. #CMCon26
