Rome—the city of churches, marble, … and murder? For one American tourist, a famous fountain will become her final resting place.

Wedding bells are ringing, and Lana Hansen could not be happier! Wanderlust Tours guide Randy Wright and his Italian girlfriend are tying the knot in Tuscany, right after he and Lana finish leading a Christmas-themed tour around Rome.

Unfortunately for Randy, his ex-girlfriend is still convinced they are meant to be together. When she shows up at his hotel, they have a nasty fight, and Randy threatens to harm her if she doesn’t leave him be.

After her body is found in the Trevi Fountain, Randy is immediately arrested. Lana is convinced he didn’t do it, yet none of her other guests seemed to have wished the young women ill.

With a shortage of suspects, Lana must dig deep in order to sleuth out who really killed Randy’s ex-girlfriend—before his visit to the Eternal City becomes permanent.

Nora Newberry's dream life is not going according plan.

Her best friend and business partner, Raquel, has just been murdered. The one man she had thought she loved can now be seen moseying through town with a supermodel dangling off his arm. And the diner she and Raquel had planned on opening together may never feed its first customer.

At least she still has her friend, Sean, the town sheriff...

So, when the sheriff's deputy is killed at the town's annual Viking festival and everyone suspects Sean of murder, Nora realizes she must figure out a way to prove him innocent. After all, she can't handle losing him, too!

Find out if Nora has what it takes to clear Sean of murder in Death Of A Deputy, the second adventure in Nancy McGovern's popular culinary cozy mystery series, "A Murder In Milburn"!

The remaining books in the series are also available on Amazon, either individually or in a box set!

A killer pie, a tight-knit squad, an ex who won’t quit, and one sassy cat.

Maddie never expected to find her best friend’s body—let alone be accused of the crime. Now, she’s in a race against time to clear her name before she ends up behind bars… or the real killer strikes again.

With her ride-or-die gal pals by her side—and a feisty feline with a nose for trouble—Maddie dives into the case. But things get complicated when her ex, the town sheriff, keeps getting in the way. He may be as confused as she is, but the real question is: does he believe she’s innocent?

Baking may be Maddie’s specialty, but solving a murder isn’t as easy as pie.

If you love Murder, She Wrote and culinary cozies packed with charm, mystery, and a touch of sass, you’ll love the Maple Lane Mysteries!
Each book contains an easy recipe or two!

“This book was so much longer than your average cozy mystery, and I love that about it. It’s not a simple murder cozy. You get to know the characters better and I just think a longer storyline has more flavor! I also love that it’s a strong female main character who doesn’t need a man to be happy. Having a little romance mixed in then makes it that much better. Can’t wait to try the recipes.” - K J Nolan

“I like to try to solve the case before I get to the big reveal, but I was wrong. I love that. I've never read this author before, but I will definitely read the next book in this series. Don't miss this one.” - Celest

“Don't think for a moment that this Apple Pie Cozy is like all the others. Yes, there is a murder, but it is solved totally different from all the rest. I read this book in one night not because it's short, but because it was that good. I recommend this book and I will read all of C.A.Phipps works.” - Deborah Lavery

“Light, easy reading, this book had great characters and a plot that was easy to follow.” - Gloria
