Scones & Bones — A Tasty Culinary Cozy Mystery
Book 2 in The Sugar & Sage Mysteries

Autumn settles over Willowbrook with cinnamon in the air and pumpkins on every stoop—until a century-old flour barrel is unsealed at the Historical Society and a skeleton tumbles out, stamped with the long-ago logo of Sugar & Sage.

Maya Shepherd, former city chef turned small-town baker, would rather be perfecting her pumpkin scones than poking around in cellars. But when the town’s heritage festival is rocked by the grisly (yet decidedly cozy) discovery, whispers begin to swirl about the bakery’s past. Determined to protect her grandmother’s legacy, Maya dusts off her “flour fortune journal,” rallies her logical best friend Nate Kim, enlists savvy food blogger Sofia Rossi, and trades good-natured barbs with Officer Glen Hughes as she sifts through old ledgers, missing keys, and motives that have aged like spice in a pantry.

From bustling festival booths and after-hours stakeouts to warm kitchens steeped in clove and chai, Maya discovers that in Willowbrook, every cherished tradition hides a few crumbled edges—and some secrets rise again like yeast.

• Charming small-town vibes—pumpkins, hay bales, string lights, and neighborly mischief.
• Clean, feel-good whodunit—no gore or profanity; twisty, fair-play clues.
• Food you can practically taste—cozy baking sessions, warm spices, and café comfort.
• Recipes included—bake along with Pumpkin Scones, Cranberry–Orange Muffins, and Maple-Pecan Shortbread Bars.
• Perfect for fans of Ellie Alexander, Joanne Fluke, and Mia P. Manansala.

Why you’ll love it: a lovable amateur sleuth, witty banter, a festival full of suspects, and a heartwarming celebration of community, friendship, and second chances—served warm from the oven.
