Murder by the Loaf
(2025)(The second book in the Eliza Crumbles Mystery series)
A Story by Maisy Marple
Murder is on the rise at Maple Hollow's beloved Bread Festival...
The annual Bread Festival should be baker Eliza Crumbles' chance to shine. With her famous sourdough ready to wow the judges and her trusty cat Whiskers by her side, she's determined to make this year's festival one to remember. But when her bitter rival Martin Brower is found dead clutching a piece of her signature bread, Eliza's dreams of victory turn into a recipe for disaster.
As suspicion falls on her doorstep, Eliza knows she'll need more than just her baking skills to prove her innocence. With the help of handsome Deputy Jason Carter (who'd rather she stick to kneading dough than investigating murder), her mechanically-minded friend Gabe, and the town's most notorious gossip Mabel Davidson, Eliza sets out to uncover who really wanted Martin out of the picture.
But someone in Maple Hollow is desperate to keep their secrets from rising to the surface. Between mysterious threatening notes, banned preservatives, and a web of blackmail that runs deeper than anyone suspected, Eliza will have to sift through a mountain of clues to catch the real killer. Thank goodness she has Whiskers' uncanny nose for trouble to help her follow the crumbs!
Can Eliza clear her name and save the festival before the killer strikes again? Or will this be her last time serving up her famous sourdough?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
