Currently Reading: Murder on Cape Cod

This is the first book I'll be reading in the new year, Murder on Cape Cod by Maddie Day. It's a cozy mystery that follows Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida trying to clear her name with help from the her book club, who read mystery books. I wonder what information they're going to use to try to help her. I do wonder if someone tried to frame her or was it a murder of convenience with that fishing knife being right where the murderer found it and used it. It will be interesting to see how Mac and her friends solve this murder.


Book: Murder on Cape Cod (A Cozy Capers Book Group Mystery book #1) by Maddie Day

Description:

A Cape Cod shop owner and her book club must find a crafty killer in this charming new series from the Agatha-nominated author of the Country Store Mystery series.

Summer is busy season for Mackenzie “Mac” Almeida’s bicycle shop, nestled in the quaint, seaside hamlet of Westham, Massachusetts. She’s expecting an influx of tourists at Mac’s Bikes; instead she discovers the body of Jake Lacey. Mac can’t imagine anyone stabbing the down-on-his-luck handyman. However, the authorities seem to think Mac is a strong suspect after she was spotted arguing with Jake just hours before his death. Mac knows she didn’t do it, but she does recognize the weapon—her brother Derrick’s fishing knife.

Mac’s only experience with murder investigations is limited to the cozy mysteries she reads with her local book group, the Cozy Capers. So to clear her name—and maybe her brother’s too—Mac will have to summon help from her Cozy Capers co-investigators and a library’s worth of detectives’ tips and tricks. For a small town, Westham is teeming with possible killers, and this is one mystery where Mac is hoping for anything but a surprise ending…
