Arrest the Alibi (A Cedar Woods Mystery): A Corgi Tea Shop Mystery
About this ebook
Love my family, but they are nuts.
Newly divorced and penniless, I’m cleaning my friends’ McMansions to pay the bills and bird-dogging the financial audit on my ex-husband’s tech company. I didn’t have time for my family’s theatrics.
When my Aunt Coco broke her hip, I hightailed back to Mirror Falls. But things took a bizarre turn when I found out my Chinese aunt thought her new corgi was her husband’s reincarnated spirit. Even worse, she took the dog’s advice to invest her savings money in a tea shop. Is she losing her mind, or am I being punished by my ancestors?
To top it off, a rival shop owner turns up dead, and Aunt Coco is the prime suspect. I must sift through the town’s secrets to exonerate my aunt and prepare the tea shop for its grand opening. Easy peasy, right? But with a murderer on the loose, I’m in over my head. Can I catch the killer before someone else gets hurt?
This humorous cozy mystery will charm readers with its endearing characters, heartwarming family relationships, and an intriguing whodunit.

FIVE THINGS ABOUT ANNE
1. I can't resist ice cream.
2. I started my first book a month after I had my first baby.
3. And now that she's seven, I brainstorm story ideas with my girl.
4. Instead of reading to my children, I make up stories round-robin style with my children at bedtime.
5. I secretly want Raina Sun's life.
A NOTE FROM ANNE:
My books are my legacy to my children. Unfortunately, they won't grow up in the San Francisco Bay Area as I did. Without a cultural hub to keep the language and philosophies alive, our family will lose this part of our heritage in one generation. My children will be visitors to this rich culture just like my readers. I hope you'll enjoy your time with Raina Sun and her large dynamic family.
