In the quiet Blue Ridge town of Willow Creek, the sweet smell of baking usually means a promise of peace... until it's laced with cyanide. Eleanor Ellie Hastings has finally found her slice of heaven running The Sugar Maple Bakery. Armed with her grandmother's faded pink apron and a collection of award-winning recipes, her life is as steady as a rising dough. But her world is turned upside down on a warm October Tuesday when the town's most formidable social force, Beatrice Vance, collapses at a Garden Club tea after taking a bite of Ellie's famous chocolate fudge cupcakes. With the paramedics whispering about poison and the local sheriff forced to shut down her ovens, Ellie's livelihood and reputation are on the line. To save her bakery, she realizes she can't just leave the investigation to the professionals. She must use the skill her grandmother taught her best: paying attention to the small, particular details of people's behavior. As the autumn air turns sharp, Ellie sifts through a list of suspects with motives as dark as high-percentage cocoa: The Rival: A Garden Club member facing public expulsion.
The Developer: A man desperate to close a land deal that Beatrice was blocking.
The Nephew: A relative who just learned he was being cut out of the family fortune. From the amber glow of Main Street to the hushed secrets of the community center, Ellie must find the real killer before her bakery is closed for good-or before the poisoner decides she's the next ingredient to be eliminated. Bonus: Includes Ellie's authentic recipe for Famous Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes-guaranteed 100% poison-free! If you love quirky small towns, intuitive amateur sleuths, and mouth-watering treats, you'll devour this first installment of the Sugar Maple Bakery Mystery series!
