Overview

Welcome to Sweetwater Cove, where the pastries are fresh, the gossip is hot, and murder is always on the menu... Charlotte ""Charlie"" Dawson traded her fast-paced career as a big-city journalist for the quiet charm of running Sugar & Spice, her cozy little bakery in Sweetwater Cove. With the town's annual baking competition just days away, Charlie is determined to prove that her raspberry cream puffs are the best in town. But when a notorious food critic drops dead after sampling one of her pastries, Charlie's dreams of success crumble-along with her reputation. The evidence is stacked against her. The poisoned pastry came from her bakery. The entire town whispers that she had a motive. Even the handsome but skeptical Detective Logan Matthews can't ignore the clues pointing in her direction. With her business and freedom on the line, Charlie has no choice but to trade her apron for a detective's notebook and uncover the real killer before she becomes the next victim. As Charlie digs deeper, she uncovers a web of small-town secrets, hidden rivalries, and long-buried scandals. A rival baker with a grudge, a jealous contest competitor, and a secretive town official all had reasons to want the critic silenced-but which one was desperate enough to kill? Just when she thinks she's cracked the case, a second body turns up, proving that someone in Sweetwater Cove will do anything to keep their secrets buried. With time running out and a killer closing in, Charlie must rely on her sharp instincts, a little bit of luck, and the help of her quirky best friend, a mischievous cat named Biscuit, and a detective she's not sure she can trust. Can she untangle the mystery before she becomes the next name on the menu? Poisoned Pastry is a deliciously twisty cozy mystery filled with mouthwatering treats, small-town charm, and a dash of danger. If you love amateur sleuths, clever plot twists, and a side of humor with your murder, this book is for you. Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Ellery Adams, and Agatha Frost.
