The Giggling Grandma with the Lizard Eyes by Cyndi Gacosta

The bizarre death of an ordinary family man catches the attention of detectives Jorge Cabrera and Elise Alvaro. It bears an eerie resemblance to the deaths of several others—each and every corpse was found bloated with insects. Each shared one common connection: Darling Ross, a warm-hearted grandmother and five-time widow. One afternoon, Cabrera and Alvaro pay a visit to Mrs. Ross at her humble house in a cozy rural town in southern California. With her bubbly personality, Darling welcomes the two detectives into her home and fixes them a cup of coffee with a side of her delicious homemade cinnamon buns. As Cabrera and Alvaro interrogate sweet Darling, a sense of queasy unreality sets in. Then, the world around them begins to bend and twist into a living nightmare.
