#1 - Drop Dead Bread
At The Laughing Loaf Bakery in the California redwoods, the menu includes sourdough, cinnamon rolls--and murder!
One day Gracie Markley is a happily married tech manager in Seattle. The next day, she turns in her husband to the FBI for selling tech secrets and her life is changed forever. Under the witness protection program, Gracie, her dog Biga, and her absent-minded professor father are relocated to the small town of River Grove in the Northern California redwoods. Leaving her tech past behind, Gracie starts The Laughing Loaf Bakery and intends to keep a low profile in her new town—until a male model ends up dead behind her bakery. To keep her business and her new life in River Grove, Gracie and her little dog Biga must find out who killed the gorgeous Nico Behrens.
#2 – Bread to Rights
When a rockstar is murdered at the town’s summer concert, River Grove's mayor and police chief part ways over the arrest. Can Gracie solve the crime herself without compromising her secret identity?
It’s a hot summer in the small town of River Grove in the Northern California redwoods. Laughing Loaf Bakery owner Gracie Markley and her assistant Beck take on their second catering gig: an outdoor reunion concert featuring hometown boy Noah Thornton Bell and his folk-rock band The Bellbirds. When Bell is murdered before the encore, Gracie learns the truth about the musician’s shady past. Chief Westerman makes an arrest that splits his longtime alliance with the town’s Mayor C. And Mayor C has a past connection with the rockstar she doesn’t want to talk about...
#3 – Trouble You Don’t Knead
Foreign agents are on Gracie’s trail. A dead man has her picture in his pocket.
And teenagers are ruining her life.
It’s fall in River Grove, and the air smells like wood smoke, spiced lattes and fresh bread. Out-of-town customers flock to The Laughing Loaf, as local news recommends the bakery as a not-to-be-missed destination in the redwoods.
After her maybe-boyfriend Nate takes off for a bird photography gig in the Galapagos Islands, Gracie chases a mysterious prowler from her front porch. The next day, a man in a green overcoat is found dead on the highway into town. The man has no ID, only a photo of Gracie in his pocket. Suddenly Police Chief Westerman is asking questions. The witness protection marshals monitoring Gracie and her father begin planning their relocation from River Grove—which may happen before Nate returns from his shoot.
Gracie must take on another murder case--one that may cost her life, her bakery and the town she’s come to love.
