Overview

Cozy town, curious clues, and one fitness instructor turned amateur detective. Murder has never stretched this far... Emily Rodriguez thought she'd left high-stress problem-solving behind when she traded her engineering career for a new life in Briarwood. As the owner of Flex & Flow Fitness Studio, she spends her days teaching yoga, pilates, and circuit training to her quirky group of regulars in a cozy New England college town. It's a sanctuary of smoothies, sweat, and small-town charm-until a suspicious collapse during class turns her peaceful studio into a crime scene. When beloved professor Dr. Alan Foster keels over after sipping a post-workout smoothie, Emily's instincts tell her this was no ordinary medical emergency. The blender sparks, the ingredients don't add up, and Dr. Foster's whispered warning-""The research... not what it seems...""-leaves Emily with more chilling questions than answers. Now, Emily finds herself reluctantly drawn into the mystery. With her analytical engineer's brain, a protective streak a mile wide, and a knack for spotting inconsistencies, she can't help noticing clues the police might overlook. But digging into the secrets behind a poisoned smoothie isn't just dangerous-it could put Emily, her twelve-year-old daughter Sofia, and her hard-won second chance in Briarwood at serious risk. Enter Detective Joseph Brown: methodical, cautious, and not thrilled about an amateur sleuth poking around his case. But even he can't deny that Emily's sharp observations might be the key to uncovering a killer hiding in plain sight. Between gossip at the Copper Kettle café, tense rivalries on the Briarwood University campus, and a community where everyone seems to know everyone's business, suspects and motives pile up faster than Emily can restock her protein powder. As whispers turn to accusations, Emily will need all her wits-and maybe a bit of courage she didn't know she had-to untangle the lies before the killer strikes again. Book 1 of the Briarwood Cozy Mystery Series.
