October 5 – 30, 2026 Virtual Book Tour
Synopsis:
A WHIPPED & SIPPED MYSTERY
Alene Baron is already juggling frustrated employees, closed schools, and a beggar who harasses customers outside her café. Then two dead bodies are discovered in the charred remains of buildings owned by the husband of her pastry chef, Ruthie Rosin. The mystery deepens when both victims are found wearing jackets stamped with the name, “Rosin,” and crumbled in the pockets are the Whipped & Sipped café’s distinctive wrappers. As if that weren’t enough, Alene’s uncle, a convicted felon who vanished 22 years ago, suddenly appears in Chicago. With suspicion and chaos mounting, it’s all too much for the owner of the Whipped & Sipped Café.
Praise for Charred: A Whipped and Sipped Mystery:
“Peopled with tons of quirky characters and loaded with family drama, Charred is so much more than the average cozy culinary mystery.”
~ Donna Thompson
“The Whipped and Sipped Mystery Series is a delectable treat.” ~ Julie Ditton
“Gottlieb packs a lot into this third book Charred… murder, arson, identity theft, gambling, kidnapping, destruction of property, tax evasion, uncovering a hidden basement under the cafe with tins with treasures in them, family drama, secrets, the pandemic, trying to stay healthy, learning how to live a new life in semi-quarantine….”
~ Missi Martin (Stockwell)
Charred “had just enough flavor to make it delicious, and just enough mystery to keep me guessing the whole way through!”
~ Bettybee306
“This series is right up my alley, and if you love cozy mysteries with a little romance and baked goods, it will be right up your alley, too! … This is a five-star book in a very neat little package!”
~ Suzie Mumba
