Deliciously Punny Mysteries

What's even better than a cozy mystery with a puntastic title? A food-themed cozy mystery with a puntastic title! Assuming you aren't still full from your Thanksgiving feast, that is!

Below is a list of a few recent and deliciously clever titles:

Pie Hard by Kirsten Weiss
The third book in the Pie Town Mystery series. Business at the bakery may have slowed down, but Val Harris isn't about to eat humble pie--not until a reality cooking show decides to whip the struggling Pie Town into shape.

Brewed Awakening by Cleo Coyle
The eighteenth book in the Coffeehouse Mystery series. When coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi awakens on a bench in Washington Square Park, she has no idea she's been missing for the past week, or that her friends and family have been frantic with worry.

Scone Cold Dead by Karen MacInerney
The ninth book in the Gray Whale Inn Mystery series. Innkeeper Natalie Barnes is living her dream life, creating scrumptious scone recipes and relishing cool summer days on quaint Cranberry Island, Maine… until she stumbles across a dead body tucked under the blueberry bushes.

Puddin' on the Blitz by Tamar Myers
The twenty-first book in the Pennsylvania Dutch Mystery series.  The success of Magdalena Yoder's new Amish-Asian restaurant is threatened by murder.


Live and Let Pie by Ellie Alexander
The ninth book in the Bakeshop Mystery series. Life is sweet once you step into Torte, everybody's favorite small-town bakeshop. But what happens when it becomes the scene of a crime?

Tart of Darkness by Denise Swanson
The first book in the Chef-to-Go Mystery series. Dani opens Chef-to-Go, preparing delicious, ready-made meals for hungry students attending the nearby university, as well as providing personal chef services and catering events for the local community. But just as Dani is relishing her sweet new life, the friend of one of her boarders is murdered, and Dani becomes one of the primary suspects!


Wonton Terror by Vivien Chien
The fourth book in the Noodle Shop Mystery series. The Asian community is kicking off summer with the return of its popular Cleveland Night Market festivities, and Lana Lee is excited to represent the Ho-Lee Noodle House booth when an explosion involving a nearby food truck, Wonton on Wheels, kills one of the proprietors and injures several others.

An Ale of Two Cities by Sarah Fox
the second book in the Literary Pub Mystery series. The Winter Carnival always brings holiday cheer, Christmas joy—and tourists with cash—to picturesque Shady Creek, Vermont. Faster than she can fling a Huckleberry Gin, booklover and pub owner Sadie Coleman finds herself racing to make sure the police don’t arrest the wrong suspect.
