More than a few people in Juniper Grove want Maureen Nicholson dead, so when her body turns up during the town's annual October scavenger hunt, there's no shortage of suspects or motives. But when suspicion for the murder falls on Rachel Stowe's friend Holly, baker extraordinaire, Rachel must get to the bottom of the mystery.
Convinced there's no romance in her future with the town's police chief, Rachel dives headlong into the case, ignoring his disapproval and risking her own safety. But will she uncover the truth before the killer claims another victim?
This light, cozy mystery offers a clean read with a female amateur sleuth in a small-town setting. No foul language, sex, gore, or graphic scenes of any kind. It can be read as a standalone, but it will be enjoyed more as part of the series.
