Maddie accompanies Gran and Angel on a once in a lifetime trip to London to visit her mom and stepfather. She never imagined what awaited them.
Things heat up, and not only in the kitchen, when a murder on their doorstep causes old rumors to surface. And someone makes it clear that newcomers aren’t welcome by repeatedly targeting the run-down castle with graffiti and more!
A less than friendly sergeant means Maddie must piece everything together behind his back before the evidence and the killer disappears. Do the answers lie within the castle walls or in the sleepy village down the road? Or could it concern a family member?
And will Big Red, Maddie’s faithful Maine coon cat, forgive her for leaving him behind in Maple Falls?
The Maple Lane Mysteries are light, cozy mysteries featuring a quirky cat-loving bakery owner who discovers she’s a talented amateur sleuth.
