Series: Greystone Harbor Cozy Mysteries, Book 6
The Book:
Sloane Harper runs a café in Greystone Harbor, and the town has big plans for its first annual Harbor Bake-Off. Then celebrated baker Vanessa Marsh turns up dead in the prep kitchen, holding a piping bag that isn't hers. The whole town calls it a heart attack. Bailey, Sloane's labradoodle, isn't buying it.
Once murder is confirmed, the sweetest event of the season turns into a tangle of ruined careers, quiet deals, and old grudges. The bake-off goes on, the prize is still up for grabs, and somebody in that tent planned this down to the minute.
The suspects aren't short on motive. A retired pastry chef needs the prize money to keep her bakery open. A wealthy sponsor has a lucrative partnership to protect. And the son of a baker Vanessa once humiliated in public has finally come to face her. Every clue points a different way, and Sloane has until the final ribbon is awarded to find the one that's true.
