Stamped Out by Tonya Kappes is the first book in the Mail Carrier Cozy Mystery series. Bernadette Butler is the local mail carrier for the small town of Sugar Creek Gap. Along her route, she hears the rumors and whispers of hidden secrets and obsessions. One day, she learns that the beloved Sugar Creek Gap Country Club is being sold and turned into condos. The developer is her good friend, Mac Tabor, and he’s public enemy number 1! The entire town is against the development and is doing all they can to stop it. Chuck Shilling, the majority owner of the country club, and Mac have a very public fight. When Chuck is found dead, Mac becomes the only suspect. However, Bernadette knows that Mac didn’t do it and she is determined to prove his innocence and find the real killer.
Cozy mysteries are a new genre for me. For those who don’t know, cozy mysteries or “cozies” are a crime fiction in which the main character is an amateur detective and most of the sex and violence occurs off stage. For example, Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple and TV’s Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote (1984-1996). Stamped Out is my first book by Tonya Kappes and it was an enjoyable read with fun characters. I enjoyed Bernadette from the very beginning and I loved how she sprung into action to prove Mac’s innocence. Of course, the first suspect isn’t always the real killer but the reveal of the killer was surprising! Stamped Out is a perfect choice for a laid back weekend or beach read. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Kappes’ cozy mysteries. If you enjoy cozy mysteries, you will enjoy Stamped Out.
Stamped Out is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook.

Stamped Out by Tonya KappesA Mail Carrier cozy mystery.Bernadette is a mail carrier in Sugar Creek Gap, a small southern town. When she finds a body, sleuthing seems the natural thing to do.A cute cozy mystery typical of the author - talking to neighbors and friends to solve the puzzle.Bernadette in the story has a cat named Rowena. Sounds familiar.And with tongue in cheek humor:“I plan on talking to people…You’ve seen it on TV, even The Hallmark channel. The people that solve crimes are usually a baker, librarian, and even camp ground owners”🎧 I alternated between a paperback copy and an audiobook which was narrated by Tiffany Morgan who does many of the books by this author. The southern drawn is slow to me so I listened to most of the book at 1.5 speed. Having the same narrator on multiple series makes it a bit difficult to distinguish between series. Since they are all cozy mysteries, with the heroine doing pretty much the same sleuthing across the board, it doesn't really matter.The Audiobook did not have the recipes that were included in the paperback version.

A Mail Carrier cozy mystery.
Bernadette is a mail carrier in Sugar Creek Gap, a small southern town. When she finds a body, sleuthing seems the natural thing to do.

Bernadette in the story has a cat named Rowena. Sounds familiar.
And with tongue in cheek humor:
“I plan on talking to people…
You’ve seen it on TV, even The Hallmark channel. The people that solve crimes are usually a baker, librarian, and even camp ground owners”
