Enigma at the Bakery

di Kat Finn (Autore)

Perfectly Plotted Books, 2025

When Lila Marlowe, head baker at the beloved Butter & Bloom bakery, collapses after discovering her grandmother's prize-winning pastry recipe has vanished, amateur sleuth Brandy Broot can't resist investigating. The family heirloom, a handwritten card never photographed and guarded for generations, held the secret to Maplewoods's most celebrated pastries. But someone wanted it badly enough to break into a locked office, forge a replacement, and leave nothing but crumbs and a trail of exotic spices that don't belong. With her pragmatic partner Peter Pruit steadying her impulsive instincts, Brandy follows the evidence through jealous staff members, bitter ex-employees, and a rival bakery owner who insists she'd never stoop so low. A burned batch of failed croissants, a mysterious late-night delivery truck, and a torn corner of the original recipe lead Brandy deeper into Foxbridge's surprisingly cutthroat culinary world, where old grudges simmer beneath frosted surfaces and family legacies are worth more than their weight in saffron. As wedding season approaches and a regional food judge announces a pop-up tasting at the farmer's market, Brandy races against time to recover the stolen recipe before it's used to destroy Lila's reputation, or worse, sold to the highest bidder. But in a town where everyone knows everyone's secrets, the real mystery might be discovering which betrayal hurt the most. Enigma at the Bakery serves up the perfect blend of cozy mystery charm, small-town warmth, and a slow-burn romance that's just starting to rise. Join Brandy and Peter as they prove that justice, like the perfect pastry, requires patience, precision, and the courage to follow even the smallest crumb to the truth. Perfect for fans of gentle mysteries, quirky sleuths, and stories where community matters more than crime. Book 2 in the Brandy Broot Mystery Series A Standalone Cozy Mystery Novella
