    About this ebook

    Hollis and Daisy love podcasting about murder cases…
    But can they solve one?
     

    Hollis Bisbee used to be a big-city crime reporter. Now, she’s a small-town journalist, and she’s bored. She and a young mom, talented baker Daisy Mueller, start the Knock ‘Em Dead podcast—”Where murder and muffins meet!” It’s all fun, games, and baking tips until murder comes to Parkwood.

    After a brutal homecoming game loss, the coach of the rival football team is the victim of a hit-and-run in the high school parking lot. The entire town is on edge, and the star quarterback—who happens to be the police chief’s son—may just look the guiltiest of all.

    With Hollis’s investigative skills and Daisy’s famous muffins…and in spite of the charming rookie police officer tasked with keeping Hollis out of the way…the podcasting duo sets out to solve their first real case.

    This cozy mystery includes a killer free recipe for Daisy's Cherry Chocolate Chunk Muffins.

      In "The Game Changer", from author Jennifer Brown, crime reporter Hollis Bisbee leaves behind headlines and heartache in Chicago and moves to Parkwood, Missouri to begin life anew. Scaling down from big-league journalism to small-town reporting was quite an adjustment--the investigative skills Hollis once used to squeeze out crime intel from experienced police officers was now being used to shake down the owner of the Hibiscus Cafe for her prized giblet gravy recipe. One consolation was the marvelous muffins made by her next-door neighbor and new best friend, Daisy Mueller, who was mom to an unruly brood and also the novice entrepreneur of "Mueller Muffins". Deciding to rev up life in Parkwood a bit, Hollis and Daisy combine their complementary opposite personas with their shared love of true crime and create a podcast called "Knock 'em Dead". What starts out as a fun boredom-breaker takes on a more serious turn--Parkwood took its high school football very seriously--when the coach of a rival team is murdered after his players trounce Parkwood at their own homecoming game. Now, Hollis and Daisy have an actual true crime to investigate in their very own neck of the woods. As Hollis follows her reporter's nose for the news and stirs up questions and answers, she is distracted by the presence of handsome, blue-eyed police officer Brooks Hopkins, who has been assigned by the chief of police to keep an eye on Hollis. With mayhem, mystery, and muffins all around, a podcast to broadcast, and a certain very attractive lawman who is never far away, life in small-town Parkwood has proved to be much more of an adventure than Hollis could have ever imagined . When a chance comes along to return to her previous big-city life, what will she decide? As a lifetime small-town resident, I very much enjoyed "The Game Changer" for its humorous "cozy" story line, and I definitely see more muffins (and lemon bars and tarts and sugar cookies) in my future.Book Copy Gratis Hallmark Publishing
