Murder at the Mushroom Festival

Book excerpt: Mushroom hunting in the Pacific Northwest puts a B&B manager on a killer’s trail in this cozy mystery by the USA Today bestselling author. Bed and breakfast manager Kelly Jackson is hosting a cooking class to celebrate Redwood Cove’s annual Mushroom Festival. But along with attracting guests, she also attracts some drama. After foraging for edible mushrooms in a nearby forest, a local newspaper reporter is found murdered at the same site—which also happens to be sacred Native American ground. As suspicions spread like fungi in the quaint Northern Californian community, Kelly and a savvy gang of sleuthing seniors known as the “Silver Sentinels” must uncover the truth about the secluded property. And they’d better identify the killer quick, before someone else gets planted in the ground.
