By Eleanor Rose Ashworth

Love cozy mysteries filled with village secrets and kitchen discoveries?
What happens when a simple recipe hides a dangerous secret?
Who left the mysterious note inside the sugar tin?
Why would someone want an old recipe book to disappear?
What truth is buried inside the quiet village kitchen?
Will Nora uncover the secret before someone silences her too?

In the quiet village of Alderbrook, life moves gently between morning market visits, friendly conversations, and the comforting smell of fresh pastries drifting from the local bakery. Nora Whitfield runs Willow Lane Kitchen, a cozy spot where neighbors gather for tea, warm bread, and the familiar comfort of homemade recipes passed down through generations.

But one ordinary morning, while preparing for the day's baking, Nora discovers something unexpected inside an old sugar tin tucked away in the pantry. Hidden beneath layers of sugar is a folded note containing a cryptic message and a name from the village's past.

At first it seems like nothing more than a strange discovery. But when an old recipe book suddenly goes missing and tensions rise among several longtime villagers, Nora begins to realize that the note may be tied to a secret that someone has worked very hard to keep hidden.

With the help of a few loyal friends and her observant kitchen cat, Biscuit, Nora starts piecing together clues hidden in old recipes, forgotten family stories, and quiet conversations around the village.

The deeper she looks, the clearer it becomes that the sugar tin was never meant to be opened.
And someone in Alderbrook will do whatever it takes to keep the truth buried.
