I’m working on adding my first cozy mystery in the Mandees Cafe Mystery Series, Threads of Trust, to my list of book titles in time for Christmas. Stay tuned!
Threads of Trust
A café with a past. A death that wasn’t supposed to happen. A community unraveling at the seams.
Mandy and Aunty Babs have poured love and second chances into Mandees Café, a cozy haven on the outskirts of a central North Island town. But when Harriet is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the quiet comfort of their corner café is shattered – and long-buried questions begin to surface.
Mandy knows what it means to live with secrets – and to lose everything. As the investigation deepens and suspicion begins to shadow the café’s loyal patrons, Mandy must confront her own past and decide whether to protect the fragile life she’s rebuilt… or finally face the truth, no matter what it costs.
Threads of Trust is a heartfelt mystery woven with suspense, redemption, and the quiet courage of those who’ve seen the worst – and still choose hope.
