Unravel a Sweetly Sinister Mystery in Maplewood!

Dive into Murder at the Maple Festival, a delightful cosy mystery that blends small-town charm, delectable baking, and a dash of suspense in the heart of autumn. When beloved farmer Harold Granger is poisoned at Maplewood’s cherished Maple Festival, local baker Clara Maplethorpe trades her rolling pin for sleuthing skills to uncover a killer hiding among syrup stalls and twinkling lanterns. With her tabby cat, Muffin, purring at her side, Clara kneads through clues—tampered syrup bottles, a missing trophy, cryptic notes, and a deadly foxglove secret—to protect her town’s sweetness.

In this heart-warming whodunnit, the cobblestone square of Maplewood comes alive with vibrant fall colours, sizzling maple scones, and the cosy camaraderie of a close-knit community. But beneath the festival’s golden glow, a murderer lurks, and Clara’s sharp instincts, fuelled by coffee and courage, must untangle a web of betrayal, greed, and hidden motives. Will she catch the killer before the final fiddle plays, or will Maplewood’s sweetest tradition turn bitter?

Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Louise Penny, and Ellery Adams, Murder at the Maple Festival serves up:

• Cosy mystery charm: A small-town setting with quirky characters, baking, and a clever amateur sleuth.
