At four in the morning, Ellie Cross's new life smells of butter, lavender and the Pacific. For the first time since her divorce, she can almost imagine being happy here.
Running The Morning Crumb means feeding Lavender Bay's opinionated regulars, putting down roots and negotiating with Bramble, the cat who came with the bakery. It also means discovering that coming home does not make people easy to understand.
When Victor Ashby dies after eating a scone, Ellie's former journalist's instincts return with uncomfortable force. A proposed waterfront development has reopened old grievances, and people she has known since childhood are carrying stories she has never heard.
This is a coastal cozy in which the food matters, the friendships matter and the consequences of murder extend beyond naming a culprit. Ellie's fresh start becomes a test of what she is willing to learn about the place she loves.
A Scone to Die For begins the Lavender Bay Mysteries, with a working baker, a watchful cat and a town whose warmth cannot keep every secret safe.
