A Cute Little Murder
Author: Molly Harper
Release Date: April 21, 2026
Publisher: Berkley/Penguin Random House
Genre: Mystery/Women's Fiction/Contemporary Romance
She used to be the sidekick. Now she might be the only one who can survive.
As teens, Harlow Drake and Lainey Piper built an online fandom solving small-town crimes. Harlow was the star, Lainey the behind-the-scenes genius (and often, Harlow’s scapegoat). Years later, Harlow’s hosting a hit true crime tv show. Lainey? She’s working in forensics. Well, forensic accounting . . . from home. In pajamas. With her cat.
But when Harlow faces significant backlash over fumbling a case, she needs a quick win—like a special investigation into the decades-old disappearance of a starlet from a once-glamorous, now decrepit island hotel. The catch? It’s bankrolled by Deke and Bryce of DBag Games, who are looking to shed their “frat bro” reputations. As long-time fans, they have one requirement for their funding: Lainey has to play the sidekick again.
Lainey is wary, but the offer is a lifeline in a sea of unpaid student loans. After reaching the Crossings Hotel, she realizes she’s not content to be Harlow’s helper anymore. As the cold case heats up, a crew member falls over dead, presenting Harlow and Lainey with a more modern mystery: what secrets does this hotel hide within its walls?

Harlow Drake and Lainey Piper reunite on a secluded island resort to solve a cold case mystery, but someone doesn't want them to solve it and will stop at nothing to keep it that way!
Between the pages of this expertly crafted mystery you will meet two women who were once crime solving podcasters in high school and now find themselves distant friends who grew apart through the years. Their lives have taken them in different directions, but it's their bond over crime solving all those years ago that is about to reunite them again.
When Harlow lands a job hunting down the killer of a once famed harlot she realizes it's a job she cannot do alone, she needs Lainey's help to solve this one and help get herself into the good graces of her viewers. So she calls Lainey and makes a offer Lainey can't really refuse right now, even though the two haven't spoken in a few years. They aren't on the best of terms, as they have grown and their lives have gone in different directions, but Lainey is unemployed and needs money to cover her ever mounting pile of bills. But upon her arrival at the famed resort Lainey realizes she may have just gotten herself into something that she may not survive! Lies are being told, secrets are being kept, and someone doesn't want the girls to discover the truth...it's a show that may not go on!
I really enjoyed this cozy mystery, every page was filled with suspense, thrills, drama, and excitement! This one impressed on all fronts, it was engaging, entertaining, and kept me on my toes! Highly recommend!
