A Poisoned Proposal: A dangerously addictive and twist-filled cozy crime mystery (A Sam Baker Cozy Mystery Book 5)
By Cass Landri
A public proposal. A poisoned tart. A celebration that ended in chaos.
When a romantic proposal brings the crowd to its feet at The Cozy Crumb’s anniversary party, it should be the sweetest moment of the night. But seconds after the ring appears, the groom-to-be collapses—mid-toast, mid-bite, and very much poisoned. The tart? One of Sam Baker’s own. Now her bakery is shut down, her name splashed across gossip blogs, and her future crumbling faster than overbaked shortbread.
To clear her name, Sam rallies her inner circle: Hazel, all grit and sharp instincts; Lily, the sunny librarian with a mind for messy details; and Diggie, her loyal corgi with a nose for nonsense.
Their suspects? Clara, a once-rising baker with a ruined career, and Jasper King, a rival with charm, secrets, and questionable timing.
As misdirection mounts and timelines blur, Sam realizes someone wanted to hijack more than just the spotlight. And if she doesn’t unmask them soon, her bakery—and her life—might never recover.
