About this eBook
Krissy Hancock’s bookstore-café in Pine Hills, Ohio, is teaming up with the local library for a seasonal celebration, but someone is spiking the refreshments—with fatal results . . .
With autumn in full swing and Thanksgiving on the way, Krissy’s supplying cider and her staff is manning the apple-bobbing booth at a town event. But then a patron dunks his head in—and doesn’t come back up.
It soon becomes clear that Krissy’s brew wasn’t to blame. But with her policeman boyfriend looking to make detective, she can’t help being drawn into the investigation. The victim was notorious for harassing not only her own bookstore but the library and the school for promoting supposedly scandalous literature—before someone censored him permanently. Now, Krissy will have to check out a stack of suspects to find a killer who’s rotten to the core . . .

cozy-mystery, bookseller, small-business, small-town, amateur-sleuth, murder, murder-investigation, law-enforcement**** Krissy runs a coffee shop/bookstore and is close with the town police detective. At a fundraiser the most obnoxious man in town is bobbing for apples (in the cider and apples Krissy provided) when he gets himself dead via poison. Let the sleuthing begin. Easily read as a stand alone, there are enough red herrings and quirky characters to make it an interesting read. I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you.
