Crumbs and Conspiracies
(2026)(The fourth book in the Willa Honeycutt Mystery series)
A novel by B J Cade
Aunt Tally left behind her recipes, her café, and a secret someone would kill to keep buried.
Running the café was supposed to be friendly gossip, baked goods and an occasional emotional-support latte.
Instead, a young woman went missing.
Now Willa Honeycutt—recently divorced, chronically under-caffeinated, and minding her own business—finds herself tangled in a mystery no one else seems eager to solve.
The clues are odd, the locals are evasive, and the self-appointed ‘War Council’ has assembled, armed with strong opinions, glitter-bombed shawls, and an alarming amount of neon yarn.
Between dodging questionable advice, and trying to make sense of a trail that refuses to behave, Willa starts to suspect Harmony Hollow’s wholesome reputation is the only thing in town more manufactured than the tourist-trap fudge.
Fortunately, she’s not facing it alone—she’s got Sadie, her sharp-eyed German Shepherd, a town full of oversharers, and absolutely no intention of letting a missing person become just another forgotten secret.
But the longer she keeps digging, the clearer it becomes that this mystery isn’t just about who’s already missing.
Because in Harmony Hollow, people who ask too many questions have a way of going missing themselves.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
