Secrets at the Summer Market: A Seaside Baker Cozy Mystery of Recipes, Rumors, and a Sapphire Worth Killing For (The Seaside Baker Cozy Mystery Book 2)
By John Swagey, Liora Dawn
A missing ledger. A message in jam. A murder that was only the beginning.
The summer market in Bluebell Bay should be a peaceful return to normal for bakery owner Emma Hart. But when a beloved jam vendor is found dead—with a jar etched with her late aunt’s name—Emma finds herself once again at the center of a chilling mystery.
As cryptic messages surface and old secrets stir, Emma is drawn into a tangled web of coded ledgers, hidden alliances, and a sapphire worth killing for. With the help of her loyal corgi Muffin and best friend Rosa, Emma uncovers a legacy her Aunt Aggie buried beneath flour, sugar, and years of misdirection.
But when someone close disappears and a decades-old spy network reawakens beneath the market’s cheerful façade, Emma must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect the town she loves.
Because this summer, the killer isn’t just hunting secrets—they’re hunting her.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and a dash of danger, Secrets at the Summer Market is the second installment in the Seaside Baker Mysteries—where every recipe has a twist, and no one is as sweet as they seem.
