Murder, Mayhem, and a Retirement Home Full of Secrets—This Cozy Mystery Has It All!


My love for cozy mysteries strikes again, and Murder Runs in the Family is an absolute delight! Tamara Berry delivers another clever, laugh-out-loud whodunit that’s packed with charm, quirky characters, and just the right dose of danger.


After a tough breakup with her longtime boyfriend Bones, Amber decides to skip the usual heartbreak routine and instead seeks refuge with the grandmother she’s never met—at a retirement center, no less. But what she finds there is far from peaceful. On her very first night, a resident known as “The Admiral” is found dead in the recording studio.


As it turns out, Amber’s grandmother and her spirited friends run a true crime podcast—and they’re more than a little interested in solving the case. While Amber isn’t quite ready to join the podcasting crew, she dips her toes into sleuthing by trying to track down a missing tortoise. But things escalate quickly when her grandmother is arrested for murder.


Now, with the help of her ex-boyfriend Bones, the charming Ethan, and a cast of eccentric retirees, Amber must unravel the mystery and clear her grandmother’s name before it’s too late.


This book is pure cozy mystery gold—funny, fast-paced, and full of heart. The banter is sharp, the twists are satisfying, and the characters are impossible not to love. If you’re looking for a feel-good mystery with a side of sass and suspense, this series is a must-read! Thanks to Poisoned Pen Press and Netgalley for this adventure!
