Loaf or Death (Sweets and Secrets Mystery 2)

Description

When the only other bakery owner in town dies, Aunt Betsy is the number one suspect. She was the last person to see Dorothy Adler alive—after Dorothy publicly accused her of stealing her famous sourdough recipe. Now, it’s up to Jean to prove her aunt innocent not only of Dorothy’s death, but the theft of the recipe.

Who could’ve wanted to see Dorothy dead? Her estranged son, in town to settle his mother’s affairs? An out-of-town developer trying to buy Dorothy’s land? Or perhaps a homeless friend whom Dorothy helps out every now and then? Something is missing from this recipe of murder, and Jean is determined to figure it out.

That’s not the only thing Jean is juggling. Shepherd’s Falls Bakery café is losing money, and no one can find the leak. Between proving her aunt’s innocence, saving her bakery, and speed dating—Jean might just find herself in the bread oven.

This is a humorous cozy mystery featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and family, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic gore, bad language or sex.
