Murder on the Menu: A Bakery Cozy Mystery (Sugar & Spice Mystery Series Book 1)

When baker Daphne Whittaker caters a Halloween murder mystery dinner in small-town Autumnboro, she expects fake blood and theatrical deaths—not a real corpse face-down in her chocolate mousse. Now she's the prime suspect in a deadly game where the killer is still on the loose.

With her reputation and bakery business on the line, Daphne must sift through a town full of secrets to find the real murderer. Between a mysterious employee with a hidden identity, threatening notes slipped under doors, and a corrupt property scheme that reaches the highest levels of local government, she discovers that her peaceful New England town harbors deadly secrets.

Armed with her loyal black cat Poppet, her best friend Pepper, and growing feelings for the handsome hardware store owner Zane, Daphne races against time to solve the case before she becomes the next victim. But in a town where everyone has something to hide, trust can be as dangerous as a poisoned cupcake.

Can Daphne catch a killer before her business—and her life—crumble like an overbaked cookie? Or will her investigation lead to a recipe for disaster?

Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Laura Childs, and Leslie Budewitz. First in the deliciously suspenseful Sugar & Spice Mystery Series!
