TH - 667/1 | The Return of Betty Snickerdoodle (A Betty Snickerdoodle Mystery #1) by Pepper Frost

Somebody's messing with the wrong recluse!

Irascible, unfiltered Bea Sickles is living happily ever after as a chain-smoking hermit in Napa Valley — until an amateur crook named Cash barges into her home and her life.

Cash’s get-rich-quick scheme: Steal a Betty Snickerdoodle manuscript, publish it, and pocket the proceeds. Bea's made millions off those syrupy holiday romance novels — and now Cash wants a piece of the action! 

What Cash doesn’t know is that Bea’s no ordinary septuagenarian millionaire. She’s a fearless, wily ex-poker pro who loves nothing more than being underestimated. And now she’s concocted a high-stakes plan to teach Cash a lesson.

TH - 667/2 | A Sleuth Is Born (A Betty Snickerdoodle Mystery #2) by Pepper Frost

A posh party. The highest stakes. And more than a little danger....

A secretive philanthropist books Betty Snickerdoodle's brand new inn for her elite, ultra-private holiday poker tournament. With the hefty fee she's offering, it seems like Christmas has come a few days early--especially since the inn's not even open yet!

But Bea Sickles--the savvy, 70-something ex-poker pro turned author behind Betty Snickerdoodle--smells trouble.

"Might be a special gift from Santa," Bea says. "Or we might be getting a scam in our stocking."

The set-up is undeniably odd. And as the tycoons settle in for their high-stakes vacation, the shindig starts to look even stranger--especially when the organizer unveils the tournament's bizarre rules. Bea's so certain there's something fishy about the fat cats and their game, she buys in for $50,000, just to keep an eye on them.

But a poker scam is hardly the only suspicious thing about these whales. Before long, shocking accidents start happening--and Bea and Angela, her clever young business partner, start to wonder if what looks like an "accident" might instead be murder....

A Sleuth Is Born is book two of the Betty Snickerdoodle cozy mystery series, which blends mystery, light humor, and adventure. It can be read as a stand-alone or as a sequel to book one, The Return of Betty Snickerdoodle.

So while she's under lock and key, her best pals must prove there was no murder--and get Bea out of jail.

Did the corpse Bea fiddled with die in an accident… or was it murder? And if it was murder, who was the killer? If they don't find out fast, Bea might pay a steep price for a single moment of curiosity….
