From USA Today bestselling authors Gin Jones and Elizabeth Ashby comes "fresh" new mystery...Labor Day weekend starts with a bang in Danger Cove when a dead body is found in the orchard of Maria Dolores' mentor and maybe-boyfriend, Merle! While it's clear the murder took place long ago, the police are still keeping Merle tied up, leaving Maria on her own to run the local farmers' market. She's prepared for the petty squabbles, disorganized vendors, and even a rowdy group of costumed pirates-it comes with the territory. But she isn't prepared for the fresh body found in an isolated corner of the market! Maria would like to leave the investigation to the local homicide detective, but he's stretched thin with two separate murders, and her nemesis-the farmer who lost out to her for the manager's job-is demanding quick answers or else. With a nearly endless array of suspects, since the victim had upset just about everyone at the market, Maria has her work cut out for her! Can she prevent another murder in the market... or will she end up the next victim?
A murder at the Danger Cove Farmers' Market forces market manager Maria Dolores to investigate when the police are overwhelmed and her own reputation is on the line. Maria must navigate a cast of colorful vendors and disgruntled customers, all while dealing with two separate murder investigations and the pressure from her rival. With a victim who seemingly upset everyone, Maria races against time to uncover the killer before she becomes the next target.
This novel is part of a cozy mystery series set in Danger Cove, focusing on the intricacies of a farmers' market. The premise suggests a lighthearted yet suspenseful tone, typical of the cozy mystery genre, with an amateur sleuth protagonist. The narrative likely involves a close-knit community where secrets and rivalries simmer beneath a pleasant surface. Readers can expect a puzzle-driven plot with a focus on character interactions and a satisfying resolution.
