A glamorous town gala. A deadly dessert. And a Corgi who sniffs out more than just dropped crumbs...
Ex-lawyer turned baker Elara Vance has finally settled into the rhythm of Willow Creek. Her sourdough is rising perfectly, and she's just landed the catering gig of the year: the town's highly anticipated Spring Gala. But the icing on the cake turns toxic when a prominent VIP guest drops dead moments after eating one of Elara's signature tarts.
To make matters worse, the victim's arrival in town was tied to the notoriously ruthless Victor Thorne-a man with deep pockets, dark secrets, and a complicated connection to Julian, the local hardware store owner who has been slowly stealing Elara's heart. When the sheriff threatens to shut down her kitchen for good, Elara refuses to let her new life crumble.
With her loyal (and perpetually hungry) Corgi, Barnaby, trotting by her side, Elara dives into a fresh investigation. Between dodging narrow escapes in darkened alleyways and unearthing the victim's hidden past, she realizes this small-town hide some incredibly bitter rivalries.
Can Elara catch the killer before the timer runs out on her bakery-and her life?
If you love a clean culinary mystery packed with small town secrets, a slow burn cozy romance, and an adorable dog sidekick, this series is your next addiction! Tarts and Treachery is a gripping short read mystery perfect for fans who love an unstoppable amateur sleuth female lead.
