Butter Cookies and Demon Claws
Previous: Barren (#5.5)
When local businessman Rusco Hog is found dead out on the old Tanner farm, it appears to be a demon attack. But for Selia Barren, the Town Speaker, the evidence doesn’t add up. She suspects foul play, but Rusco didn’t become the richest man in town by making friends, and it seems everyone in Tibbet’s Brook has a motive.
A cozy mystery set in internationally bestselling author Peter V. Brett’s Demon Cycle universe.
Reviews
"[A] great bit of fun... Butter Cookies and Demon Claws has tided me over until the next Nightfall Saga novel...and has reminded me just how much Brett’s writing style clicks for me as a reader."
"A well-formed gentle/cosy fantasy and murder mystery that works as a standalone, while clearly benefitting from a larger world-building in the background. Very worth the read."
"It’s like going back to a beloved (but really dangerous) world, with some characters that we already know. And it’s an interesting way to see something old (in a sense) with a new lens. And this is a nice thing."
