Red Velvet Revenge

A Small Town Baking Cozy Mystery with Dog

The most feared food critic in the region has gone missing — and her car has turned up at the bottom of William's Cove's harbor. It would be easy enough to chalk it up to an accident, except that Fanny Fairchild knows what everyone else is starting to suspect: this particular critic was sitting on a story far more explosive than any restaurant review. Someone wanted her silenced before she could publish, and in a town full of people with secrets worth protecting, the list of suspects runs longer than the dessert menu at The Sugared Spatula.

For readers who love peeling back a small town's polished surface to find all the complicated, messy truth underneath, Red Velvet Revenge is a deeply satisfying read. The mystery is layered, the stakes are personal, and the ending lands with the kind of quiet punch that stays with you. Come for the charm of William's Cove, stay because you absolutely have to know what the critic knew — and who made sure she couldn't tell anyone.
