Bed & Breakfast & Burglary

By Sally Bayless

Bed & Breakfast & Burglary

Prequel to the Dogwood Spring Series

Available Exclusively for Newsletter Subscribers

Libby Ballard is in town for a job interview—not to solve a crime. But when she learns cash has gone missing from the gift shop at a cozy bed and breakfast, a quiet little puzzle starts to unfold. The owner hesitates to call the police, worried it might hurt the inn’s reputation, so Libby offers to help behind the scenes.

With a mix of curiosity, kindness, and just enough stubbornness, Libby begins asking questions—and finds herself drawn into the mystery and the people behind it.

As she digs deeper, she starts to wonder if this charming little town might offer the fresh start she needs.

Bed & Breakfast & Burglary is a heartwarming, bite-sized mystery that introduces Libby and the town of Dogwood Springs. It’s the perfect way to begin the series—ideal for fans of small towns, amateur sleuths, and mysteries on the lighter side.

This is a clean read with no profanity or graphic violence.
