A bakery in Manhattan, a boyfriend blunder, a combative contestant, and almost crushed by a body!
When a body lands at her feet, the death is literally too close to home for Maddie Flynn. The baker with more than a recipe or two up her sleeve is thrown into the investigation when things don't add up with the crime. With his uncanny sense of who is good and who isn't, even Big Red, her larger-than-life Maine coon, is seeing things in the shadows.
Not everyone is happy with her digging, so there’s a chance she may end up the next victim if she can’t solve the murder soon. And what does an angry contestant have to do with a kidnapping?
If you love Murder, She Wrote, you’ll enjoy Maddie’s style because she’s not taking no for an answer either.
The Maple Lane Mysteries are light, cozy mysteries featuring a quirky cat-loving bakery owner who discovers she’s a talented amateur sleuth.
