Murder Takes a Bough

Murder Takes a Bough

A quirky professor says he’s invented a secret method for growing trees at lightspeed, and the idea seems to have something for everyone at Betty Snickerdoodle, Inc. Angela will get all the Christmas trees the inn needs. Aseem will score points at his new incubator job. And Bea? Well, Bea will get a whole lot richer by being the first to invest in the professor’s innovation.

There’s just one problem… and it’s murder!

Some people just don’t like the idea of tampering with nature—even if it helps save the planet. They might do anything to stop the experiment. And some people like the idea way too much. They’ll do anything to get their own greedy hands on the professor’s invention—and the millions of dollars it could soon be worth.
Almost as soon as Bea and Angela agree to help the professor with his experiment, mysterious events start happening. Now the danger is right in their back yard—and more than a little too close for comfort.

Will Bea figure out who’s behind the crimes and save the professor’s experiment—and her investment? Find out in this latest funny, fast-paced, and heartwarming Betty Snickerdoodle Mystery!

Betty Snickerdoodle Mysteries are "salty and sweet," with a main character with an edge who makes rude wisecracks. No on-the-page sex or graphic violence.

Of Mice and Murder

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.
