Nachos, pie, murder, oh my!

Losing her engineering job in the 1983 oil bust? Rough. Moving back to her Texas Hill Country hometown to help out at the family café? Unexpected. Getting tangled up in a murder investigation involving nachos, pickles, and nosy Main Street neighbors? Definitely not on Josie Barbosa’s to-do list.

Back in quirky Andorra Springs, Josie’s helping out at her family’s café, testing pie recipes and supporting her dad’s latest culinary brainstorm: ready-to-serve nachos. But when a fellow Main Street business owner turns up dead—just hours after a heated public spat with her dad—suddenly the local gossip is spicier than a jalapeño biscuit.

Armed with her analytical brain, a healthy dose of sarcasm, and her best friend Liz—a tougher-than-nails rancher with a flair for the dramatic—Josie sets out to clear her dad’s name. But between secretive shopkeepers, a charming wine bar owner, a suspiciously serene garden guru, and the big time BBQ family down the street, this sleepy little town is looking more and more like a murder buffet.

Full of quirky characters, ‘80s retro charm, and cheesy puns (some literally), This Murder is Nacho Business is a cozy mystery with a crunchy exterior and a gooey mystery center. Perfect for anyone who believes justice is best served spicy.
