Death a la Carte

A Maple and Thyme Myteries

By: D.T. Rose

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Maple & Thyme was supposed to be Simon Cavanaugh’s quiet restart — a small-town bistro, a seasonal menu, and a chance to leave the past where it belonged. No drama, no scandals, and absolutely no headlines.

Mia Torres, the new sous chef, is determined to help him pull it off. Warm-hearted, quick-thinking, and fiercely loyal, Mia brings the light the kitchen has been missing — even if Simon pretends not to notice.

But everything changes the night Mrs. Winifred Blake — beloved town fixture, volunteer, baker of the church socials, and the closest thing Cedar Valley has to a grandmother everyone shares — dies during dinner service at Maple & Thyme.

Shock turns to suspicion.

Whispers turn toward the kitchen.

And suddenly, Simon and Mia are facing more than bad press — they’re staring down a community’s grief.

To clear their names and save the restaurant, the pair must sift through quiet resentments, buried history, and a truth no one in Cedar Valley wants to face. Because someone in town had a reason — and the perfect opportunity — to make sure Mrs. Blake never finished her last meal.

And if Simon and Mia aren’t careful, the next course on the menu might be revenge.
