The Blueberry Muffin Murders (A Maple Falls Mystery - Preview).

A muffin won first prize. An hour later, the judge was dead. Maple Falls calls it a tragic allergic reaction. But when food columnist and amateur sleuth Clara Whitmore notices a faint chemical bitterness beneath the sweetness, she knows one thing: someone turned a baking competition into a calculated execution. In a town where reputations are currency and grudges simmer for decades, the suspect list is short — and uncomfortably close to home. The rival baker with everything to lose. The sponsor desperate to protect the festival’s image. The grieving spouse whose alibi is almost too perfect. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: this wasn’t random. It was personal. And the next batch is already in the oven. If she exposes the truth, she risks destroying the town she loves. If she stays silent, a killer walks free — and may strike again.
