It’s February in the small town of Cobble Cove. Love is in the air . . . but so is murder!
When Alicia helps plan a Valentine’s Day Party at the Cobble Cove library that also includes a surprise for her newlywed friend, Gilly, things go wrong when a mysterious box of chocolates addressed to the director turns out laced with poison.
Clues Lead to A Dead Suspect
Although Alicia promised John she’ll no longer meddle in crime investigations, she and Gilly set out to find the person threatening Sheila who murdered the courier of the deadly candy. The three people they suspect include the professor from California who’s been romancing Sheila while she assists him with research for his book; the obnoxious patron Rhonda Kleisman who threw coffee at the director after refusing to pay for a damaged book; and a visiting widow staying at Gilly’s inn who’s unnaturally curious about Sheila and earns the nickname of Madame Defarge for her interest in knitting.
New Cat in Town
While Alicia and Gilly are trying to solve this new Cobble Cove mystery, Sneaky is introduced to Gilly’s new kitten, Kittykai, a calico she brought home from her honeymoon in Hawaii. It’s not like at first sight, but the two cats eventually become friends. They also both play a part in foiling the killer’s murder attempts, but will Alicia and Sheila survive unscathed?

An Interview With A Character
What is your full name?
Alicia Fairmont McKinney, but I no longer use my maiden name, Fairmont.
What is your Profession?
Librarian and mystery author
What is your current favourite book or movie?
Love on the Rocks, the latest book I’m in, of course.
What is your go to comfort book or movie?
I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but as the co-author of the Groucho Marx cozy mysteries, I’d say it’s Written in Stone, our 2nd book of the series that just happens to be the name of the 3rd Cobble Cove mystery by our author. It may seem strange that this book gives me comfort because I almost got killed because of it, but I’m here to tell the story.
If someone was to play you in a movie who would it be? OR what would be the character you would want to be in a book?
I’m already a character in a book, but if I could be another, I think I’d like to be Alice in Wonderland because I’m very curious, I love to have tea, and I adore cats so would cherish the Cheshire cat. I also like to play chess. John and I enjoy a game once in a while.
What is your ideal evening?
At home with my husband, John, reading books to our twin toddlers. After putting them to bed, having tea together in our living room with the fireplace lit and talking about our day and the next chapter of the mystery we’re co-writing.
