Scones and Scandal
(2026)(The second book in the Maeve Sullivan Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Diana Malone
Bakery gossip. Buried secrets. A body in the garden. Maeve Sullivan is settling into life in Harrow's Cove when sharp-tongued newcomer Sylvia Crane is found dead in her garden.
In just six weeks, Sylvia managed to make enemies across the village. Armed with other people's secrets, she threatened careers, exposed old scandals, and even set her sights on Maeve's beloved bakery, The Rolling Scone.
With her analytical friend Priya, the ever-observant retired postmistress Dot, and Detective Callum Reid determined to uncover the truth, Maeve follows a trail of long-buried secrets stretching back thirty years.
Meanwhile, Whisk, her truffle-sniffing dog, is determined to investigate every clue—and every customer who walks through the bakery door has another piece of the puzzle.
As gossip spreads and loyalties begin to crumble, Maeve discovers the murder is only the beginning. Someone will do anything to keep the past buried, and trusting the wrong person could cost her everything—her bakery, her future, and the only home she's ever truly found.
