Love is Murder — Kathy Cranston

Jessie Henderson swore she wouldn't get involved in another investigation after what happened last time. Besides, It's not as if she's short of other things to do. With the new Springdale Center almost ready, she's busy organizing the first Springdale Bachelorette Ball.

Then a Springdale resident is found dead. Springdale PD is getting nowhere, but Jessie stands firm. She's hung up her snooping hat for good. She won't be convinced, no matter how hard Bee and the chief try to twist her arm.

But then something else happens.

Can Jessie stick to her resolve now that things just got personal?

Love is Murder is the ninth book in the Bee's Bakehouse Cozy Mystery series. Each book is a standalone mystery, but the series is best read in order to enjoy the ongoing Springdale storylines.
