The Scones of Suspicion
(2025)(The third book in the Deadly Delicacies Mystery series)
A novel by Kay Bishop
The Scones of Suspicion crackles with mystery, tension, and heart. When Natalie Baker’s seaside town is rocked by fissures that spill light and spawn unspeakable creatures, suspicion turns on her glowing ember-heart. Villagers whisper that she is cursed, the cause of their ruin.
But as the tide claws closer, Natalie proves she is not a curse but the lock that can hold the abyss at bay. Through betrayals, desperate stands, and midnight battles in the square, Willow Bay must choose: cast her out, or fight with her.
In a final showdown, Natalie channels the ember’s fire with the strength of the entire town. Together they seal the fissures—but not before suspicion transforms into unity, and dawn breaks with the scent of scones drifting from the bakery ovens.
It’s a gothic cozy with teeth—heartfelt, suspenseful, and ultimately warming. A story about trust, community, and the truth that no lock holds alone.
Genre: Mystery
