Murder at the Bramblewood Bakery

In Bramblewood, everyone has a secret. And someone is willing to kill to keep one.

Eleanor Marsh has lived in Bramblewood her entire life. She knows every family, every feud, and every recipe worth knowing. Retired now from the village library, she was looking forward to a quiet autumn and a chance to finally win the Harvest Bake-Off.

Then her rival baker, the imperious Vivienne Caldwell, turns up dead - poisoned by her own almond tart - and Ellie finds herself at the top of the suspect list.

With half the village under suspicion and the new detective from London quietly convinced he knows best, Ellie has no choice but to investigate herself. After all, she's spent forty years cataloguing information. How hard can a murder be?
