Cream Caramel and Murder: An English Village Whodunit (Holly Holmes Culinary Mystery Series Book 2)
By K.E. O'Connor
A castle full of secrets. A corpse in the woods. And a corgi who always finds trouble.
Holly Holmes is thrilled to start over as a baker in the grand kitchens of Audley Castle. The job promises peace, purpose, and plenty of pastries. But her new life collapses the moment Meatball, her loyal corgi, uncovers a body hidden among the trees on the castle grounds.
Within hours, Holly becomes the prime suspect. The villagers whisper. The aristocrats close ranks. And someone will do anything to keep old scandals buried.
Refusing to be framed, Holly starts an investigation. Hidden grudges, jealous rivals, long-buried feuds, and secrets soon rise to the surface. Every clue brings her closer to the truth and deeper into danger, and the real killer is watching her every move.
Will Holly clear her name and expose the murderer before the next victim is chosen?
