Holidays…can be murder.
It’s pie season at Fletcher’s Pride Bakery, and Claudia Fletcher is elbow-deep in dough and deadlines. From flaky apple crisps to silky pumpkin perfection, holiday orders are flying out the door faster than she can bake them. The last thing Claudia needs is a ghost from her past showing up, especially Rachel, her ex–best friend who vanished years ago and shattered Claudia’s trust on the way out.
When Rachel unexpectedly appears on the island, Claudia does what any sensible baker would do, she hands her a coupon for a free stay at the local B&B and hopes that she’ll take the hint.
But the peace doesn’t last long.
Another local baker, selected for the B&B’s new partnership program is found dead, and the tight-knit baking community is left shaken…and suspicious. With the bakery in chaos, rumors swirling like powdered sugar, and Rachel tangled up in the mystery, Claudia must sift through secrets and follow the trail catch the killer.
Can Claudia crack the case before the holiday spirit disappears altogether, ruining her most productive season of the year?
