Locally Sourced Murder

Welcome to Bliss, Iowa, where small-town gossip spreads fast, dinner parties are fiercely competitive, and murder always seems to find the guest list.

When Maybee Jones hosts Bliss’s very first Secret Supper Dinner Club at historic Reed Farm, the entire town is desperate for an invitation. The evening promises local food, candlelight, lively conversation, and a chance to celebrate one of Bliss’s most beloved families.

Instead, it ends in murder.

Before the night is over, Reed Farm matriarch Lila Reed is found dead, turning Bliss’s newest social event into the town’s latest crime scene.

As rumors spread through the river town, Lyssa Jones quickly realizes the Reed family has more than a few secrets hiding beneath their picture-perfect farm. With tensions rising over the future of the property, greedy developers circling nearby, and family members openly fighting behind closed doors, almost everyone at the supper club has a motive.

Determined to uncover the truth, Lyssa dives headfirst into another amateur investigation with help from Mayor Holly Bliss, her sarcastic ghost father Jimi Jones, and Trouble the cat, who remains convinced he’s the smartest detective in town.

Meanwhile, Lyssa’s personal life is becoming increasingly complicated thanks to growing tension with her business partner Sam Coby and the arrival of charming architect Finnegan Blackwell, who may be bringing even more trouble to Bliss.

Adding to the chaos is Stevie Nicks, an adorable blind puppy who quickly steals everyone’s heart while stumbling directly into the middle of the investigation.

Filled with quirky characters, family drama, delicious food, small-town secrets, and paranormal twists, Locally Sourced Murder is a funny cozy mystery perfect for readers who love amateur sleuths, charming communities, found family, and murder served with a side of comfort food.
