Welcome to Los Angeles, where Bethany Lights, Alaska's own amateur sleuth, is about to get more than she bargained for. A favor for a friend goes sideways when a dead body shows up, then disappears, throwing her sunny trip into shadow. Bethany's living it up in a big mansion, but she learns it’s all paid for with mystery money, and her friend Pete is in trouble with some serious Hollywood power players.

Bethany is good at fitting puzzle pieces together back home, but L.A. is a whole other ballgame. She makes some rough-and-tumble biker friends and hears key truths from a woman who knows too much. It’s all leading to a showdown in a dark room with someone who’s more monster than man. This isn't just another case—this is about survival.

"Muffins and Malice" is your ticket to ride along with Bethany. No swear words, no mess—just a straight-up, good mystery. Pick up your copy and see if you can crack the case alongside her before the credits roll.
