A Cottage to Kill For is a charming Martha’s Vineyard cozy mystery filled with humor, suspense, murder, friendship, and international intrigue. A relaxing vacation on Martha’s Vineyard turns into a deadly investigation in this engaging cozy mystery filled with humor, suspense, and unforgettable characters.

When Grandma Goodie wins a week at a charming cottage during a church auction, she invites reporter Warren “Mitch” Mitchell, his wife Martha, photographer Al, and his wife Carol to enjoy the island getaway with her. The picturesque beaches, quiet cottages, and welcoming island atmosphere seem like the perfect escape from everyday life.

But their peaceful retreat is shattered when they discover a dark secret surrounding the cottage next door.

A wealthy millionaire has taken ownership of the property through a falsified will after arranging the murder of its rightful owner. As Mitch and Al begin uncovering the truth, the danger grows quickly. Threats against the group become frighteningly real, placing Mitch, Al, and Grandma Goodie directly in the path of a ruthless criminal willing to kill again to protect his fortune.

What begins as a simple vacation soon becomes a desperate fight for survival.

Adding international intrigue to the mystery is Lady T, a courageous Hungarian secret agent whose daring actions may be the only hope for saving them. As the tension builds toward a dramatic rescue at sea, Mitch and his friends must use intelligence, determination, and humor to outwit enemies before it is too late.

Filled with the authentic charm of Martha’s Vineyard, colorful friendships, lighthearted moments, and suspenseful twists, this twentieth entry in the beloved Mitch & Al mystery series delivers a satisfying blend of cozy mystery and adventure.

Drawing from the author’s forty years in journalism as a reporter, editor, photographer, and award winning opinion page editor, the novel combines sharp storytelling with rich detail and believable investigative work. Inspired by the author’s decades of life on Martha’s Vineyard and an idea suggested by a longtime writer friend, this mystery offers readers an entertaining escape packed with intrigue, danger, humor, and heart.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, amateur sleuths, island settings, and clean suspense fiction, this novel will keep readers turning pages until the very end.
