A Maple Ridge Mystery: Cozy Culinary Mystery (Muffin Murder Cat Book 3)
By Gurwinder Singh
In the crimson-crisp autumn of Maple Ridge, Massachusetts, deli owner Nora Quill’s panini press hums with secrets as the town’s antique charter seal vanishes on the eve of its tricentennial celebration—stolen, or simply misplaced in a clerk’s cousinly chaos? With her tailless Manx, Purrs, pawing at shadows and her historian aunts airing long-buried family rifts, Nora stacks clues like salami slices, racing against the harvest moon to seal the truth before scandal sizzles the town’s savory peace. But as whispers of vendettas from 1825 echo through the leaf-littered lanes, one wrong layer could melt her budding romance with bookish clerk Cal Finch—and unravel the Quill legacy forever.
