A Most Curious Murder — Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli

A cozy mystery debut inspired by Alice in Wonderland -- featuring “quirky main characters, lyrical dialogue, and a story sure to appeal to bookworms” (RT Book Reviews).

A vandalized library and a mysterious murder send Jenny Weston and her neighbor down a rabbit hole of suspects and small-town secrets . . .

Jenny Weston moves home to Bear Falls, Michigan to nurse her bruised ego back to health after a bitter divorce. But the idyllic vision of her charming hometown crumbles when her mother's little library is destroyed.

The next-door neighbor, Zoe Zola, a little person and Lewis Carroll enthusiast, suspects local curmudgeon Adam Cane, but when he's suddenly found dead in Zoe's fairy garden, all roads lead back to her. Jenny, however, believes Zoe innocent, so the two women team up to find the true culprit, investigating the richest family in Bear Falls, interrogating a few odd townspeople and delving into old, hidden transgressions -- until another body turns up.

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli's quaint and compelling series debut A Most Curious Murder will delight cozy mystery readers new and old.
