Raspburied Tort — Lyndsey Cole

When renovations on an old house in Catfish Cove take a turn for the worse, Annie finds herself at odds with the new detective in town. Again. Not only did Annie find the body, but Detective Christy Crank seems to have a chip on her shoulder that she takes out on Annie. Rumors of hidden fortunes in the walls of the old house bring out treasure hunters in droves. Could one of them have killed to secure their own fortune? And if so, who was it? As Annie digs deeper to clear the name of her friend, and Cranky's top suspect, Danny Davis, she uncovers lies about alibis that only add more suspects to her list. Dreams of wealth make plenty of people look guilty, but who is the real murderer? Annie knows she has to figure it out with the help of her friends before Danny takes the fall for something he didn't do. Will she make it in time before the killer comes back to cover their tracks? ***RaspBuried Tort is approx. 220 pages and is volume 5 in the Black Cat Cafe Cozy Mystery Series.
