It’s opening day of the convention for Betty Snickerdoodle’s superfans. As fans arrive in droves, the woman behind Betty, Bea Sickles, drives away—in the back of a cruiser!

She’s accused of tampering with a crime scene—and possibly even murder! It’s true, Bea couldn’t resist nosing around a dead body. She’s convinced, though, that the “victim’s” death was an accident. So while she’s under lock and key, her best pals must prove there was no murder—and get Bea out of jail.

Top of the list is Angela, who runs their Betty Snickerdoodle, Inc. enterprise. With the convention underway, though, Angela’s juggling a lot—including a big baking competition, a high-maintenance chef, and the expectations of Betty’s devoted fans. Luckily, Angela’s got help from handsome tech whiz Aseem and Bea’s private detective friend, Pat.

Did the corpse Bea fiddled with die in an accident… or was it murder? And if it was murder, who was the killer? If they don’t find out fast, Bea might pay a steep price for a single moment of curiosity….

Bake It Like Betty is book three of the Betty Snickerdoodle cozy mystery series, which blends mystery, humor, and adventure.

When Rhonda Butts, self-described wedding planner to the elite, arrives at Betty Snickerdoodle's Christmas Inn & Ranch, she makes quite an impression. Despite numerous reminders, she can't seem to remember that Bea (aka Betty Snickerdoodle herself) actually owns the place. And she shocks Angela–the marketing whiz who catapulted Betty's sales into the stratosphere–by offering to "fix" the inn's business.

It's enough to make unfailingly sweet, polite-to-a-fault Angela call Rhonda an"oaf!"

But Rhonda makes Bea and Angela an offer that's hard to refuse: You host a mixer for wedding professionals, and I'll do all the work–and if it's successful, we'll make bank hosting big, 'high-end' weddings together.

So they decide to go ahead with the mixer, and at first, it's all sweetness and love and light - until dastardly secrets surface, and the wedding vendors start dropping like flies....

Mixed to Death is book four in the Betty Snickerdoodle Mystery series. It's full of laughs, heart, and mystery. And it even has four adorable puppies!

When Bea and Angela lend their ballroom for a local theater production of an old-fashioned whodunnit, it sounds like fun—until the accidents and squabbles and suspicious secrets start. Then when opening night arrives, so does the worst storm to hit the wine country in recent memory.

But the dangerous weather is just the prologue to misfortune. Because before the second act on opening night… somebody has been murdered!

Flooded roads and knocked out phones mean Bea, Angela, the cast, and their VIP guests are trapped at the inn with the killer.

Now it’s up to Bea and Angela, with a little help from their friends, to figure out which one of the eccentric theater types and sophisticated socialites in the audience is a murderer—without putting a target on their own backs.

Of Mice and Murder is book six in the Betty Snickerdoodle Mystery series. It’s an easy-reading, “salty and sweet” cozy mystery with no cursing, gore, or sexual content—but plenty of laughs, friendship, and twists. It can be read as a standalone, but you might enjoy reading the series in order more.

The friendship, laughter, and cozy whodunnit fun continue!

**This box set (#2) includes Betty Snickerdoodle Mysteries books four, five, and six.**

Weddings at Betty Snickerdoodle’s Christmas Inn? In Mixed to Death, self-described elite wedding planner Rhonda Butts envisions big riches hosting nuptials at Bea’s place. She convinces Bea and Angela to host a wedding industry mixer… but before long the wedding vendors start dropping like flies! Soon Bea and Angela are racing from the wine country to Sacramento and back, hot on the trail of the culprit who’s putting the death into “’til death do us part!”

In Murder Takes a Bough, it’s autumn at the inn, and with Christmas on the way, Angela is worried about having enough evergreens to decorate the inn. Then Bea and Angela meet “the professor,” an environmentally minded scientist who claims to have discovered a way to make trees grow overnight—and Bea decides to invest. The planet may be rooting for the professor, but he’s got no shortage of mortal enemies willing to kill to stop his invention—or steal it. Before long, Bea and Angela are once more puzzling out the identity of a murderer!

Finally, in Of Mice and Murder, the local community theater needs a place to present their play—and they need it fast! Bea and Angela are happy to help out, but soon it appears that no good deed will go unpunished. There’s no money for sets, the cast and crew are fighting, and accidents plague the production from the start.

But that’s not the worst of it. When opening night arrives, so does the worst storm to hit Napa Valley in decades—and so does murder! Now Bea, Angela, and their friends are trapped at the inn with no phone service—

Worst of all, the storm has left the roads impassable and knocked out phones and the internet. Bea, Angela, and an audience full of VIPs are trapped at the inn with the killer.
Now it’s up to Bea and Angela, with a little help from their friends, to figure out which one of the eccentric theater types or socialites is responsible for the crime—without putting a target on their own backs.

The Betty Snickerdoodle Mysteries are easy-reading, “salty and sweet” cozy mysteries with no cursing, gore, or sexual content—but plenty of laughs, friendship, and intrigue.
