A Honeyberry Falls Mystery (Book 2)
A disgraced lawyer. A deadly recipe. A town built on secrets.
Penelope Marsh finally felt the flour settling. After surviving a career-ending scandal in the city and returning to her roots in Honeyberry Falls, Vermont, she's successfully resurrected her family's legacy: The Dusty Apron. But in this town, the past isn't just buried; it's under lock and key.
The peace shatters when a prominent local official collapses after a single bite of Penny's signature violet macaron. To the town, it looks like a tragic kitchen error. To the ruthless Julianne Vane-Penny's old rival from the city's most prestigious law firm-it's the perfect opportunity to finish Penny for good.
But Penny's legal instincts tell her this wasn't a mistake. The macaron wasn't just poisoned; it was a message.
To clear her name, Penny must dig into the bakery's literal foundations. Hidden beneath the floorboards lies a stone vault and a Black Ledger dating back to 1924. The records suggest that the town's founding families didn't just settle the land-they seized it, and the Sterling family were the only ones who knew the truth.
As a massive Nor'easter cuts off the mountain passes and plunges the town into a whiteout, Penny finds herself trapped in a closed circle mystery. With the power out and the phone lines dead, she's forced into a high-stakes standoff with an enemy who uses the law like a scalpel. Penny has one night to authenticate the ledger and prove her father's innocence, or the firm of Vane & Sterling will ensure she never opens her shop again.
In the second book of the Honeyberry Falls Mysteries, P.J. Sterling delivers a sharp, atmospheric blend of Noir-Cozy suspense. It's a story of procedural grit, historical greed, and the perfect French pastry.
