After I read book one in the author's Paige Comber series, I signed up to receive her newsletter and also received this short story. In this, two workers are finding the last 15 minutes of work to be 15 minutes too many. Can they break out? Well-written and humourous.

A cute Cozy mystery in which Paige solves an decades old murder mystery and lands herself a new boyfriend. Set in a town called Seaside located on an island, accessible only by ferry twice a day. When the old man of the town is found dead on the beach, his nephew was the first suspect.

When Paige discovers the next dead body, she then becomes a suspect. And when Paige starts investigating, the local fish and tackle shop owner is the next person to become a suspect. when the local residents cannot beleive that he would be a suspect, Paige takes a quick trip around the island looking for clues. She discovers ther location where the old man must have been killed and she also discovers that the old man was buying up all the land under the businesses in Main street. But not the purpose.

Paige then takes a bicyle tour out to the old cannery where she finds yet a 3rd body - that of a young woman who went missing more than a decade earlier. Back at her cottage, Paige is visited by Jake, the local tavern owner who actually attempts to kill Paige, because she discovered his secret. He had killed that girl by accident 10 years earlier.

But none of this was related to the old mans murder. Paige fights her way out of Jakes attempt to kill her, and heads to the nephews home for help. She ends up in hospital having been drugged, and several days later she wakes up with everyone telling her what had been discovered.

Thanks to the author for a gifted copy. All comments and opinions are my own.

This was a fun cozy mystery with a likable protagonist who actually recognizes when she makes a thoughtless mistake that puts herself in danger. Paige Comber, would-be pastry chef, is spending the summer on the island village of Seaside helping her granny run a charming coffee shop. She soon meets a good-looking stranger who is wrongly accused of murder. Paige feels obligated to find the real killer and clear the stranger's name. There are several possible suspects, questionable business practices, more than one dead body, romance, and fresh brewed coffee with home baked pastries.… (mere)

Paige Comber dreams of running off to Paris to train at the Cordon Bleu, but it won't happen this summer. She's stuck running her granny's coffee shop in the small, sleepy island village of Seaside. But when a handsome stranger named Nate shows up at the shop, the summer suddenly doesn't seem so bad. Until Paige discovers Nate's uncle's body washed up on the beach and Nate is thrown in jail for the murder. Paige knows Nate didn't do it, so it's up to her to find out who did.

I was browsing through my ebooks for quite a while, reading a sentence and thinking 'no this isn't what I want to read right now' when I came across this freebie I found on Amazon. I was immediately hooked. The writing was fun. I loved the setting. The characters were great. It definitely hit the spot. I was very pleasantly surprised with this gem and I'm looking forward to more!… (mere)
