Description

Love my family, but they are nuts.

Newly divorced and penniless, I'm cleaning my friends' McMansions to pay the bills and bird-dogging the financial audit on my ex-husband's tech company. I didn't have time for my family's theatrics.

When my Aunt Coco broke her hip, I hightailed back to Mirror Falls. But things took a bizarre turn when I found out my Chinese aunt thought her new corgi was her husband's reincarnated spirit. Even worse, she took the dog's advice to invest her savings money in a tea shop. Is she losing her mind, or am I being punished by my ancestors?

To top it off, a rival shop owner turns up dead, and Aunt Coco is the prime suspect. I must sift through the town's secrets to exonerate my aunt and prepare the tea shop for its grand opening. Easy peasy, right? But with a murderer on the loose, I'm in over my head. Can I catch the killer before someone else gets hurt?

This humorous cozy mystery will charm readers with its endearing characters, heartwarming family relationships, and an intriguing whodunit.

    A good mystery with all of the stuff that makes Anne’s books great — quirky sidekicks, diverse characters, and a surprise ending. I thought I got the murderer figured out and I was wrong. A must read for humorous mystery fans.

    Arrest the Alibi written by Anne R Tan. This is a fun cozy mystery that includes your favorite kind of crazy… the crazy Aunt trying to make the niece come and stay for a while. Even if they have to lie… Aunt CoCo is a sneaky old gal who I would love to visit with! She seems to have a crazy story about just about every situation that gets thrown her way, and she loves to impart her wisdom on the needy! CeCe is now in town and trapped into helping to solve a murder so someone she loves isn’t going down for it. It would make a GREAT MOVIE, just saying!
