Cinnamon and the Clove Conspiracy: The Catmint Chronicles Book 3 (The Catmint Chronicles Cozy Mystery Series)
By Amanda Sterczyk
A village bake-off, two bilingual pugs, and the final secret that could change everything.
Settle in for the heartwarming conclusion to the series readers call “the ultimate cozy escape.” If you’re looking for a “no-murder” mystery that ties up every loose end with a perfect bow—and a side of cardamom—this finale is your front-row seat to the most chaotic Harvest Bake Off Cresswell-on-Wyrd has ever seen.
Rowan Thorne has survived a lot since inheriting Black Thumb Betty’s Café & Herb Shop, but she’s never juggled this many secrets. As the village prepares for the Great Harvest Bake Off, the pressure is rising. Between an anonymous note warning her to leave and the sudden arrival of her father—along with two mischievous pugs—the “peace” Rowan fought so hard for is beginning to boil over.
The chaos reaches a fever pitch when the pugs accidentally ingest one of Cinnamon’s experimental herbal blends. Suddenly, they aren’t just barking—they’re speaking a jumble of English and French. While Rowan races to find a permanent formula to restore Cinnamon’s speech before his voice fades forever, she begins to suspect her father’s visit isn’t a family reunion at all. He’s hiding a secret large enough to upend her entire inheritance.
With the gossip mill in overdrive and the Bake Off judging looming, Rowan must untangle a web of family deceptions and village lore. Will she find the missing recipe to save her shop and her feline partner, or will the final curtain fall on her life in Cresswell-on-Wyrd?
