Merry Muffin Mysteries #8
When Merry Wynter’s festive gala takes a fatal turn, she’ll have to grill her guests
to catch a killer . . .
After years of planning and hard work, Merry Wynter was finally ready to host the grand opening gala of the Wynter Woods Center for the Performing Arts. With musicians, entertainers, members of the media and even influencers on the guest list, the event went off without a hitch—until a particularly nasty journalist posted a criticism of the gala and everything Merry was trying to accomplish. Still reeling from the review days later, Merry wasn’t sure what to feel when she discovered the reporter’s dead body on the grounds of Wynter Castle.
With many of her guests staying on at the castle for the weekend, Merry realizes they’ve got a murderer in their midst. Going from celebrating to sleuthing, she discreetly questions each of them, trying to weed out the culprit. She quickly learns that the victim had heated arguments with several of the people at the gala, and it turns out those people were all connected by a tragedy in the past. Certain the killer is among them, Merry will have to unearth the final clue that nails the killer—before the killer decides she’s getting too close . . .
Includes delicious muffin recipes!

Testimonials
[An] outstanding series launch. . . Hamilton expertly balances the page-turning detection with the story of a hypocritical society
where women, whether they are scullery maids or orphans, rarely get to make their own decisions.
– Publishers Weekly
[A] simply riveting and compulsive page-turner of a read from cover to cover. A deftly scripted mystery with more
twists and turns than a Coney Island roller coaster.
– Midwest Book Review
About the Author
There was never a time when I didn’t want to be a writer, and it was how I always defined myself. But even when I wasn’t writing — which at first was most of the time! — I was reading. Since the moment my mom handed me an Agatha Christie book when I was twelve, I’ve been a devoted mystery fan, and the passion lives on!
It may seem odd, then, that I started my writing career as a Regency romance author, gradually moving to the paranormal romance, and then historical mystery writing. I truly enjoyed my time writing romance, and I believe that it was the perfect training ground to force me to focus on creating character.
But the urge to write and become published in mystery still held me captive. I finally achieved my life’s dream with the publication of the first Vintage Kitchen Mystery: A Deadly Grind, in May of 2012.
Aside from writing, I have a lot of hobbies and passions. I collect vintage bowls, especially Pyrex and kitchen utensils. I also have a sizable collection of teacups. Cooking and baking muffins — of course! — are beloved pastimes. I have the best friends and family in the world, and I am passionately fond of tea and anything sweet, especially brownies! I enjoy hobbies: crochet, cross-stitch, and beading, among other crafts.
But writing takes precedence over everything, and I truly love hearing from readers, treasuring the friends I’ve made over the years!

Some Touch of Madness
Having chosen to go to a women’s institution rather than live under her brother’s oppressive thumb, Emmeline is second-guessing her decision. Her ulterior motive was to learn under what circumstances her sister died there six years ago, but the conditions are dismal, the treatment is harsh, and the women are restricted on all sides. When one of the women is murdered, Emmeline resolves to solve the crime despite the powerful owner’s hostile insistence that the death was a suicide.
