AN OKTOBERFEST COZY MYSTERY

A Toxic Brew

Great beer. Good friends. Bad news. Someone’s got to solve this.

Rochelle Holloway is finally finding her place at Plum Creek Brewing. The wine program she was hired to build is thriving, and even better, she may finally be getting somewhere with her longtime crush on brewery owner Lance.

But when a celebration tied to Cleveland Oktoberfest takes a deadly turn, Rochelle finds herself pulled into a mystery far more dangerous than anything she expected to encounter behind the bar.

With suspicion falling uncomfortably close to home, Rochelle isn’t content to stand back and let someone else figure out what happened.

Between brewery drama, a troubled rescue dog, complicated feelings, and a growing list of questions that don’t quite add up, Rochelle will have to uncover the truth before the wrong person takes the blame.
