Overview: A FRESH START. A DEADLY SCONE. AND A KILLER WHO THINKS REVENGE IS A RECIPE BEST SERVED COLD…
Exiled from the cutthroat brigade of a Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant after her fiancé stole her signature pastry recipes, pastry chef Nora Gable packs her rolling pin and flees to the misty cliffs of Dorset. All she wants is to restore The Sugar Plum & Thyme—the historic, crumbling coastal bakery left to her by her eccentric late great-aunt Clara—and bake her cardamom brioche in peace.
Accompanied only by Muffin, an imperious twenty-pound ginger tomcat with a notched ear and a nose for trouble, Nora prepares for her soft opening on the morning of the annual Autumn Harvest Festival.
Then the village’s most ruthless property mogul takes a single bite of her signature blackberry-cardamom scone—and drops stone dead on her bakery floor.
With the coroner confirming monkshood poison dusted over the sugar, the local constabulary treating Nora as Suspect Number One, and the entire harbor facing an eviction bulldozer, Nora has less than seventy-two hours to clear her name before she is traded from a bakery kitchen to a prison cell.
Aided by the village’s brooding, sharp-eyed Detective Inspector Declan Gallagher—and hindered by a village bursting with suspects who had every reason to want Arthur Pendelton dead—Nora must sift through poisoned alibis, Napoleonic smuggler tunnels, and centuries of coastal secrets. Can she unmask the real culprit before the timer dings on her own murder?
