Murder at the Makers Market: A Small-Town Cozy Mystery

Murder at the Makers Market Mara Bell arrives in charming Merritt Harbor, Maine, expecting to settle her late aunt's estate, sell the old Maker's Mill, and get back to the life she knows. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by talented artisans, stubborn locals, a rescue dog named Moxie, and a murder that turns her plans upside down. The Maker's Market should be a fresh start for the struggling mill. Then redevelopment developer Grant Hollis is found dead inside the building, and suddenly everyone has a reason to want him gone. With suspicious secrets piling up and the police looking closely at the people connected to the mill, Mara can't resist doing what she does best: noticing details other people miss. With help from potter Nell Hart, quilt shop owner June Mercer, woodworker Toby Quinn, and skeptical Deputy Eli Mercer, Mara starts following clues through the mill's history, old financial records, buried property disputes, and a decades-old secret that someone is desperate to keep hidden. But amateur sleuthing is dangerous when the killer realizes Mara is getting close. Murder at the Makers Market is a fun, feel-good small-town cozy mystery featuring a female amateur sleuth, quirky characters, artisan crafts, small-town secrets, found family, a clever rescue dog, a slow-burn romance, and a satisfying murder mystery.
