One pie. One body. One chance to clear her name.
When Maddie returns to her small town after twelve years in France, she’s ready to trade fine dining for flour dust and keep her late grandmother’s bakery alive.
But running a small-town bakery is tougher than a week-old scone, especially when her grumpy landlord (and the most hated man in town) is threatening eviction.
Her grand plan? Win the Pumpkin Spice Throwdown, snag the Golden Whisk, and use the prize money to save the bakery. Easy as pie, right?
Wrong.
Because when said landlord falls face-first into her prize-winning pumpkin spice pie, Maddie becomes the talk of the town.
Now, with the new sheriff (aka her high school crush) asking questions, her best friend organizing suspects with a bedazzledclipboard, and her orange tabby Butter acting like he runs the place, Maddie’s got more problems than an underbaked soufflé.
If she doesn’t solve the case soon, she could lose:
The bakery her grandmother built.
Her reputation.
And her second shot at love.
A sweet, funny, and deliciously twisty whodunit.
✔️ Cupcake and bakery-themed mysteries ✔️ Sassy heroines and small-town charm ✔️ A slow-burn romance with a grumpy detective ✔️ Cozy mysteries with pets, gossip, and murder.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
