Penny Vale thought the worst was behind her.
After the Winter Frost Festival murder nearly destroyed her bakery, she's betting everything on Maple Hollow's Valentine Dessert Auction - a fresh start wrapped in pink glaze and satin ribbon.
Then florist Celia Hart turns up dead in the greenhouse, and a crumpled receipt hidden inside one of Penny's cake boxes puts her right back in the middle of a murder investigation. Worse, the receipt references the same mysterious supplier connected to the last killing.
Stolen charity funds. A bitter business split. A town sponsor who knows more than she's saying. The deeper Penny digs, the more she suspects these two murders aren't separate crimes - they're chapters in the same story.
And someone wants her to stop reading.
Sugar and Secrets is the second book in the Fatal Frosting Mystery Series - cozy mysteries with small-town charm, warm bakery settings, and a baker who keeps finding bodies next to the buttercream.
Perfect for fans of: Joanne Fluke, Jenn McKinlay, and Diane Mott Davidson.
Content note: No graphic violence, no strong language, no explicit content. Suitable for all adult readers who enjoy clean cozy mysteries.
