Murder by the Letter
A dead body. A floating stationery shop. A Cajun town full of secrets.
When Mila Breaux’s artistic dreams go up in flames, she heads back to her roots—and straight into trouble. Armed with calligraphy pens and a stubborn streak, Mila transforms her late uncle’s rickety houseboat into the world’s only mobile stationery shop.
But her grand opening hits a snag when a pile of human bones turns up in the waters near the dock.
Now Mila’s caught in a bayou-sized mystery, tangled in small-town secrets, suspicious neighbors, and one ridiculously handsome (if wildly unmotivated) game warden. Good thing she’s got backup: an outdoorsy bestie who may or may not talk to animals, her Auntie Roma, and a sassy rescue cat with attitude to spare.
Can Mila crack the case before her new life sinks like a stone?
Murder by the Letter is the irresistible first entry in The Lettering Detective Cozy Mystery Series—perfect for fans of crafty heroines, Southern charm, and page-turning whodunits with heart.
So click buy and come for the calligraphy. Stay for the murder.
