Vengeful Vellum Mildred Abbott

Scrapbooks of memories, tragic history, and town council elections are a deadly combination... The final hurrah of the summer tourist season coincides with Estes Park's commemoration of the Big Thompson Canyon flood and the results of the contentious town council election. As the warm evening gathering for somber remembrance wraps up with dramatic election announcements, the surprises involve shouts of anger... and murder. Following a trail of blackmail, Winifred Page discovers a crime with more twists and turns than the Cozy Corgi Bookshop's mystery room can handle. But as a scrapbook featured in the crafting club illustrates, there is no case Fred and her corgi sidekick, Watson, can't unravel. Secrets are revealed and dark history uncovered, thanks to a group of avid scrapbook aficionados. And Fred will need all the dirty chai lattes the Cozy Corgi Bakery can craft if she is to find the threat buried somewhere in the past or living and breathing in one of the charming shops on Elkhorn Avenue...(This culinary cozy mystery includes a recipe for a breathtaking Peach and Vanilla Bean Pie.)
