Berets and Bullets (Toppers Hat Shop Cozy Mystery #3)

A town of whimsical hats and one deadly mystery—can Adeline survive?

When Adeline landed in quaint Brisa del Mar two months ago, she thought she’d put the dangers and heartaches of her past behind her. But when a gust of wind brings a mysterious note through the mail slot in Toppers’ front door, Adeline begins to worry the accidental death of a beloved old friend may not have been an accident.

Determined to tie up loose threads from her old life, Adeline learns her best friend was working on a true-crime story about a murdered art gallery owner. With the help of her newfound friends and Quinn Beckett, who may be more than a friend…at least for the summer, she dives into the world of pricey art and prickly artists. Here she unearths a shocking link between the dead gallery owner and the person who aimed a bullet at her heart and sent her fleeing her old life.

Adeline’s past and present collide when she finds herself at the center of a pop-up art exhibition surrounded by suspects with secrets. Has the idyllic seaside town of Brisa del Mar become a canvas for the art of murder?

Berets and Bullets is Book 3 in the Toppers Hat Shop Cozy Mystery Series. This enchanting series in an unconventional seaside town in California follows Adeline Hart as she investigates millinery murders, mends her broken heart, and stitches together a whole new family.
