In Millhaven, Oregon, everyone loves Elspeth Crumb's bread.
When food journalist Nora Calloway retreats to her late grandmother's cottage - just six weeks, that's all - her first assignment is a puff piece on Crumb & Bloom Bakery's fortieth anniversary. Warm, wholesome, impossible to mess up. Then a young apprentice turns up dead in a sealed proofing cabinet, and Nora notices the one thing everyone else has missed: his notebook is gone.
The sheriff calls it an accident. The town calls it a tragedy. Nora calls it a story.
As she digs into Finn Delacroix's final research project, she uncovers a forty-year-old theft at the heart of everything Millhaven holds sacred - and discovers that the woman who taught her to bake bread is also the woman who killed a young man to keep a dead baker's secret buried forever.
Funny, warm, and quietly devastating, The Sourdough Starter Secret is the first book in the Flour, Murder & Frosting Mysteries series - where the sweetest things hide the bitterest secrets.
