Macaroon Misfortune
(2025)(The third book in the Paws and Pastries series)
A Story by Daisy Danbury and Maisy Marple
In Sugarwood Falls, the pastries are to die for—sometimes literally…
When Harper Lane returns to her hometown of Sugarwood Falls to open The Sweet Pawtisserie—a bakery that caters to both humans and their four-legged friends—she never expects to add "amateur detective" to her resume. But with her loyal Golden Retriever, Buttercup, at her side and a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Harper finds herself with more than just pastry on her plate.
After solving two previous murders in this charming small town, Harper hopes the Sugarwood Falls Pet Talent Show fundraiser will finally be the community event that doesn't end with a corpse. But when aspiring magician Charlie Deeds is electrocuted during rehearsal by a rigged microphone, Harper's dreams of a crime-free bake sale vanish faster than Charlie's disappearing dachshund.
The suspect list is as varied as the talent show entries: Rhett Boone, the stoic stable owner whose daughter's dog was abused by Charlie's cruel training methods; Daisy Fenn, the bubbly pet groomer whose costume designs were sabotaged; and Bridgett Foxwell, the photographer who caught Charlie's cheating on camera. But when Harper and Buttercup discover evidence of a sinister business partnership between Charlie and yoga instructor Marta Choi, they realize the murder may be more calculated than it initially appeared.
As Harper investigates alongside handsome Detective Jack Brewster (who's equal parts exasperated by and attracted to the curious baker), she uncovers a conspiracy involving cruel electronic training devices disguised as fashionable pet accessories. With the talent show rescheduled and a killer still on the loose, Harper puts herself in the spotlight to draw out the murderer—a decision that might make this case her last.
Can Harper and Buttercup solve the mystery before the killer ensures their final curtain call? Find out in this deliciously suspenseful cozy mystery where the macarons are sweet, the murders are shocking, and justice is always served with a side of pastry.
