The Dead and Breakfast Cozy Mysteries by Sara Bourgeois take the classic bed-and-breakfast setting and add murder to the guest list. The series name itself is a pun on “bed and breakfast,” and the stories play into the small-town hospitality angle with deadly results.
Published in 2024, the four books feature community events gone wrong, from chili cookoffs to holiday gatherings. This series skips the paranormal elements found in many of Bourgeois’s other books, focusing instead on straightforward whodunit mysteries with plenty of small-town charm.
