About this ebook

Scottie Ramone is living the life she always dreamed about. She’s back in her wonderful hometown of Ripple Creek. Her bakery business is thriving, and she has a wonderful baker’s assistant, Jack Lucas. To top it all off, she has a marvelous boyfriend, gothic thriller novelist, Cade Rafferty. Admittedly, there is still a touch of awkward tension between Scottie and her longtime crush, Ranger Dalton Braddock, but they’ve worked things out … mostly. The winter snow has melted, spring is in the air and soon a rush of summer tourists will fill the town and gobble up her bakery goodies.

When one of the locals, Roberta Schubert, decides to reopen her mother’s old teahouse and sell what she calls “traditional scones” she boasts that she might just take a bite out of Scottie’s business. Scottie isn’t too worried until Roberta sells her scones at a yard sale and people love them. When Roberta is murdered, Scottie starts a list of possible killers and there are plenty. In the meantime, Ranger Braddock has started his own list, and one of the names on the list is a real stunner …

Ratings and reviews

Scottie is back with a new mystery to solve. This time, she'll have to clear her own name. With the list of suspects a mile long, Scottie has her work cut out for her. The ending was wild; I did not see it coming! We see more of Nana in this book, which I love. Nana is a favorite of mine; she feels like the grandma you had or wished you had. The interactions between her and Scottie make me feel so warm and reminiscent to childhood. There's more romance, baked goods, town friends. A must read!

I just love the Scottie Ramone series. Scottie is a very relatable and sweet character. The other characters in the book are fun and somewhat quirky. The mystery was good and I wasn't sure who did it until the end. Another great book in a wonderful series.

I love these characters and really all of your characters! A fun series with great writing, great plot, and great ending to the mystery. Thanks so much!
