At the Bluebird Bakery, the pastries are sweet, the tea is hot, and the secrets are deadly.
After eighteen years of balancing other people's books, Ellie Hastings has finally traded her calculator for a rolling pin. She is building a fresh start at the Bluebird Bakery & Tea Room in charming Silverlake, Vermont. With the Autumn Leaf Festival approaching, it is the perfect time to put her new shop on the map.
But her dream takes a dark turn when a wealthy, cutthroat developer is found dead at the lakeside cabins. The most damning piece of evidence? Ellie’s signature pastry box sitting on his desk, minus one honeycomb scone.
With frightened neighbors whispering rumors and loyal customers canceling their orders, Ellie's bakery is on the chopping block. Realizing she cannot leave her future in the hands of the local police, she teams up with her loyal dog to sift through the town's darkest secrets. Ellie must catch the real killer—before she loses everything she has worked so hard to build.
