A Mallory Beck Cozy Culinary Caper

A heartbroken widow. A suspicious accident. And a cat who always trusts his instincts.

Mallory Beck never thought delivering a casserole could get her tangled up in murder. But when a routine act of kindness leads her straight into the heart of the Montrose family’s secrets, Mallory finds herself in the middle of a mystery with more layers than her lasagna.

Still reeling from her husband’s sudden passing, Mallory is just starting to rebuild—one home-cooked meal at a time. But when a teenage girl loses her father in a supposed hit-and-run, Mallory can’t shake the feeling that something's not right. Especially after Hunch, her prickly but perceptive cat, takes an unusual interest in the grieving household—and in the widow who seems just a little too composed.

As whispers turn into clues and casseroles into conversations, Mallory—with Hunch never far from her side—begins to unravel a tangled web of lies, family resentments, and long-buried secrets.

If you love feel-good whodunits, intuitive pets, and heroines finding strength in second chances, you’ll feel right at home in Honeysuckle Grove.
