Welcome to Saltwick, Maine, where the pie is homemade, the fog keeps secrets, and murder is about to ruin a grand reopening.
Pastry chef Maren Holt has come home to save the Tin Whistle Pie Shop, the beloved bakery her late aunt left behind. She hopes the reopening will give her a fresh start after heartbreak, debt, and years away from the small harbor town she thought she had escaped.
Instead, the celebration ends in tragedy when Lorraine Voss, Saltwick's most powerful and feared baker, collapses after tasting a slice of pie.
Everyone believes the death was a terrible accident. Maren knows better.
As rumors spread, customers vanish, and old grievances surface, Maren must follow a trail of secrets through festival committees, family recipes, stolen credit, and long-buried resentment. If she cannot clear her name, the new beginning she fought for may become the end of everything she has worked to rebuild.
A Slice of Trouble is Book One in The Saltwick Mysteries, a warm, fair-play cozy mystery series full of small-town secrets, coastal Maine atmosphere, found family, recipes, and one judgmental pie shop cat.
