A Valentine's Day dinner. Thirty guests. One body.
When Maple Creek's most controversial real estate developer dies face-down in his red velvet cake at the annual Valentine's gala, every guest at the twelve-table Wisteria Room becomes a suspect - including Cora Rossi-Ashford, who baked the cake.
Cora has learned to trust her instincts. As owner of the Maple Creek Bakery and the town's reluctant amateur sleuth, she knows that the most dangerous secrets are the ones that smell like roses and cardamom. And Dale Whitfield had secrets that went back decades.
A land deal buried in a 1992 ledger. A daughter nobody knew existed. A medication that should have been in a locked cabinet - and wasn't. As Cora untangles a web of hidden heirs, contested wills, and a town that never forgot its grudges, she begins to suspect that the murder had less to do with a Valentine's dinner and everything to do with who owned the land beneath Maple Creek.
With her rescue cat Biscotti keeping watch, her best friend Peggy trading gossip for clues, and Deputy Ben Holt one step behind her - or possibly one step ahead - Cora is about to discover that the sweetest revenge in Maple Creek comes frosted in crimson.
Red Velvet Revenge is Book 4 in the Maple Creek Bakery Mystery series. Can be read as a standalone.
