Sometimes a vacation gone wrong… Can be murder. Restauranteur and amateur sleuth, Lydia Thackery, is enjoying success, both professionally and now personally, but on her way back from a lovely date, she and Jude make a horrific discovery. A member of a tour group has been murdered, and the rest of her group is safe and sound, but every single person tells a different story. Their suspicious behavior throws a dozen red flags for Lydia, and her curiosity drives her to stay for a few more days at the bed and breakfast to investigate. Can she narrow down the suspects and catch a killer? Or was her last date…her last date? Find out in this deliciously exciting Culinary Cozy Mystery!

https://www.facebook.com/Patti-Bennin... When Cozy Mystery author, Patti Benning, isn’t busy plotting the deaths of multiple fictitious characters, she loves to spend time hiking with her rescue dog, Max, who is her bestest writing buddy. ​Patti loves to cook and the food in her books has been tried and tested in her very own kitchen. She’s technologically shy, and stays away from social media a great deal, because it makes her feel more awkward and introverted than meeting someone face to face. ​Writing is the perfect job for her because in her books, she gets to explore all the topics she loves, food, animals, crafts and reading. She loves her readers dearly, and is thankful for the opportunity to share with them through her work.
