Fresh bread. Burnt tempers. A fall no one can explain.
Maggie Dawson thought the biggest threat to her sanity was wedding season at Whispering Pines’ Larkspur Inn—overbooked rooms, missing centerpieces, and emergency pastry runs to Driftwood Bakery.

Then delivery driver Trent Pike faceplants beside his dolly, coating the sidewalk in flour—enough to bake a hundred baguettes.

Everyone calls it a tragic accident.

Detective Rafe Santos isn’t so sure. Neither is Maggie—especially when her psychic cat, Mr. Crumbs, begins fixating on details no one else notices.

The bakery staff is all warm smiles and sweetness—at least on the surface. Owner Celeste Marlowe once paid Trent to keep quiet. Frazzled head baker Nina swears she never left the ovens, though the morning timeline has holes big enough to lose a loaf in. And chatty barista June seems just a little too helpful.

Everyone had a reason to see Trent stumble.

But when someone frames Maggie, and a sabotaged boardwalk plank nearly sends her over the edge, it'''s clear the killer isn’t finished.
